Burnley v Liverpool: match preview

Burnley v Liverpool
Burnley v Liverpool: probable starters in bold, contenders in light Photograph: x

Burnley’s solid start could have been even better but for the 97th-minute penalty that allowed Wolves to grab a draw at Molineux. Sean Dyche has tipped Liverpool for the title and he knows they will be a tough proposition after a week of rest. Burnley were in Carabao Cup action in midweek, even if Dyche made sure to change most of his team for the defeat by Sunderland. Until European football starts, Liverpool’s only interest is in keeping their noses in front of Manchester City and they will not be expecting to drop points at Turf Moor. Paul Wilson
