Liverpool line up confirmed as Curtis Jones gets first Premier League start against Burnley

Curtis Jones and Neco Williams make their Anfield debuts in the Premier League as Liverpool host Burnley.

Jones came off the bench to net in a 2-0 win over Aston Villa last Sunday and has been rewarded with his full debut in England's top flight against Sean Dyche's side.

Meanwhile Williams is given a start in his favoured right-back role after making his senior debut on the left side in Liverpool's 3-1 win at Brighton on Wednesday night.

Today's respective starts take both Jones and Williams to within one more appearance of a Premier League winners' medal.

Fabinho and Gini Wijnaldum complete the Reds' midfield three with Jordan Henderson ruled out for the season with a knee injury picked up in midweek.

Naby Keita drops to the bench as Dejan Lovren returns to the squad to offer some reserve at centre-back for Jurgen Klopp's side.

Liverpool: Alisson; Williams, Gomez, Van Dijk, Robertson; Fabinho, Wijnaldum, Jones; Mane, Salah, Firmino.

Subs: Adrian, Alexander-Arnold, Lovren, Keita, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Minamino, Shaqiri, Elliott, Origi.
