Burnley vs Liverpool result: Mane and Firmino see Reds back to the top of the table

Liverpool travel to Burnley this evening hoping to secure the win that will return them to the top of Premier League table.

Liverpool's Naby Keita will not be fully fit until after the international break because of a muscle strain while goalkeeper Alisson remains sidelined.

Burnley boss Sean Dyche says Johann Berg Gudmundsson's calf injury is not as bad as first feared but he is highly unlikely to feature later today. Follow LIVE coverage of the match below:

After a heated clash at Turf Moor last season between the two side, today's fixture could provide a spicy atmosphere.

 

Jurgen Klopp has given his opinion on the tie: "Turf Moor is a tough place to go. We have been there, hot, wind and rain and it is always difficult.

"Tough place. They do an incredible job, that is how it is.

"Everybody wrote about me and Sean Dyche not being best of friends after our last game, but we are proper competitors and we don't hide our emotions. But it was completely respectful."

Ashley Barnes is the main man at Turf Moor. He has 13 Premier League goals in 2019 with only Sergio Aguero and Sadio Mane scoring more.

 

If he scores today he'll become the first Burnley player to score in five consecutive Premier League matches.

The players make their way into the tunnel and then out onto the pitch. Burnley will come at Liverpool today but it'll be a tough ask for them to get anything out of the game.
