Premier League transfer round-up: Tottenham aim for double signing

Follow live updates as Liverpool FC face a trip to Burnley in the Premier League, one of three early kick-offs to be staged this afternoon. The Reds are aiming to keep pace with Manchester City after the Premier League leaders re-established their 12-point lead at the top of the table thanks to a 4-0 win over Norwich on Saturday night. Jurgen Klopp’s side are on a run of three wins in a row in the Premier League, although the Liverpool manager was dismissive of their chances of catching City in the Premier League title race following Thursday’s 2-0 win over Leicester at Anfield.

Diogo Jota continued his goalscoring form on a night which also saw Luis Diaz make his first Premier League start and Mohamed Salah return following Egypt’s Africa Cup of Nations defeat to Senegal last weekend. Sadio Mane, who scored the winning penalty in Senegal’s triumph, could return today as Liverpool visit Turf Moor, where they find a Burnley side at the bottom of the table under Sean Dyche. The Clarets are unbeaten in three following the midweek draw with Manchester United, however, but are desperate for a win to boost their survival chances.

Follow live updates from Burnley vs Liverpool below, plus scores from Tottenham vs Wolves and Newcastle vs Aston Villa, in the day’s other early kick-offs:

Burnley 0 - 0 Liverpool

33 mins: Close! Connor Roberts flicks a long ball over the top of the Liverpool line and plays Wout Weghorst into the box. He takes a quick shot at goal but pokes it wide of the near post! Burnley have created the best chances so far, they’re going to need to take one sooner or later or else Liverpool could punish them.

Burnley 0 - 0 Liverpool

30 mins: Save! Burnley swing the free kick into the Liverpool box. The cross comes into the right side and hits Ben Mee before falling into the path of Jay Rodriguez. He takes a touch but Alisson is on top of him quickly to smother the ball!

At the other end of the pitch Josh Brownhill brings down Sadio Mane and Trent Alexander-Arnold has the opportunity to whip in a set piece. The right -back curls it to the edge of the six-yard box and finds Mane who whacks his shot on the half-volley and boots it straight at Nick Pope who stops it with his chest!

Burnley 0 - 0 Liverpool

27 mins: Jordan Henderson miscontrols the ball in midfield and loses the ball to Erik Pieters. The Liverpool captain lunges into a tackle to recover the ball but clips Pieters and is shown a yellow card for bringing him down.

Henderson comes away from the tackle a little worse for wear and needs a bit of treatment from the physios.

24 mins: Liverpool have got a game on their hands here. Burnley have been dangerous on two or three occasions already and the fans are right behind their team.

Westwood swings a corner into the penalty area but Virgil van Dijk rises above everyone else and heads it clear.

Burnley 0 - 0 Liverpool

21 mins: Sadio Mane’s effort is pushed wide by Nick Pope and Liverpool win a corner that is cleared by the Clarets. The home side break on the counterattack with Ashley Westwood weaving past Joel Matip and giving it to Jay Rodriguez. He slides the ball across to Wout Weghorst who runs into the box and chips it over Alisson only for Trent Alexander-Arnold to sprint back and boot the ball behind for a corner!

Burnley 0 - 0 Liverpool

18 mins: Save! Burnley’s determinism to get the ball into the Liverpool box is working out for them here. Aaron Lennon finds a bit of space on the right and comes inside before firing a short pass into Maxwel Cornet. He brings the ball under control and takes a shot on the turn but can’t generate enough power to beat Alisson in Liverpool’s goal.

Burnley 0 - 0 Liverpool

15 mins: Save! Beautiful play from Burnley who pass the ball up to Wout Weghorst on the right wing. The centre-forward does well to hold off Andy Robertson and slide a pass into the middle of the pitch and pick out Josh Bronwhill. He takes a touch and hits a dipping shot towards goal forcing Alisson to leap to his right and palm the ball behind for a corner.

Burnley 0 - 0 Liverpool

12 mins: It’s very windy at Turf Moor today. Liverpool win a corner that Andy Robertson swings into the box. Josh Brownhill wins the initial header and sends it over to Mo Salah on the right side of the area. He lays it off to Trent Alexander-Arnold who runs onto the shot and drills a first time effort towards goal but his shot is blocked in the clustered penalty area.

Burnley 0 - 0 Liverpool

9 mins: Burnley’s first attack comes from a long ball over the top of the high Liverpool line. Both Jay Rodriguez and Wout Weghorst make runs in behind but are beaten to the ball by Alisson who sprints out of his area and heads it clear. The offside flag then goes up and the replays show but Burnley strikers set off too soon and fell into Liverpool’s offside trap.
