Burnley v Liverpool: match preview

Probable starters in bold, contenders in light. Illustration: The Guardian

Two consecutive home games might have appeared an agreeable reintroduction to top-flight football for Burnley but it will not feel that way if last week’s defeat to Swansea is followed by another. Steven Defour should make his debut in midfield with David Jones having joined Sheffield Wednesday; Sean Dyche must wait to field Jon Flanagan, unavailable as he is on loan from Liverpool. An active Liverpool full-back, Alberto Moreno, was criticised after the 4-3 win at Arsenal but will retain his place after being backed by Jürgen Klopp. Nick Ames
