Liverpool team news as Joel Matip returns but Mo Salah on bench v Burnley

Joel Matip returns to the Liverpool team to face Burnley as the Reds aim to end a four-game winless run in the Premier League.

Captain Jordan Henderson, however, misses out altogether with a suspected groin issue.

Roberto Firmino and Mohamed Salah drop to the bench as Divock Origi comes into the front three alongside Sadio Mane and Xherdan Shaqiri, who keeps his place from Sunday's goalless draw with Manchester United.

Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain makes his first start at Anfield this season in the midfield three alongside Thiago Alcantara and Gini Wijnaldum.

Fabinho retains his place at centre-back alongside the returning Matip as Liverpool aim to go within three points of league leaders United.

iverpool: Alisson; Alexander-Arnold, Matip, Fabinho, Robertson; Thiago, Wijnaldum, Oxlade-Chamberlain; Shaqiri, Origi, Mane.

Subs: Kelleher, Milner, Firmino, Salah, Jones, Minamino, Tsimikas, Phillips, N. Williams.
