Liverpool FC XI vs Burnley: Starting lineup, confirmed team news, latest injury list for Premier League today

Liverpool can add Diogo Jota to their lengthy injury list as they face Burnley hoping to maintain their late surged for Champions League qualification.

Jurgen Klopp confirmed ahead of the dramatic win at West Brom that Jota will sit out the final games of the season with a foot injury, while his availabilty for the upcoming Euro 2020 is unknown.

In his absence, Sadio Mane came back into the starting lineup and does so again at Turf Moor. Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain makes the squad after recovering from illness.

Mohamed Salah is in a close fight with Harry Kane for the Golden Boot - both sit on 21 goals - and was always a certain starter.

Further back, Nat Phillips and Rhys Williams continue at centre-back, with Trent Alexander-Arnold and Andrew Robertson at full-back.

That allows Fabinho to remain in midfield, and he is joined by Georginio Wijnaldum after being rested for the Hawthorns trip.
