Burnley vs Liverpool LIVE: Premier League latest updates as Diogo Jota scores off the bench

Liverpool making five changes is interesting and could suggest manager Jurgen Klopp was not entirely happy with his side’s performance during the draw against Arsenal.

However, it is still a luxury that many Premier League managers would be envious of, given the number of injury problems across the divison.

Fresh off the back of their win over Fulham on Saturday, Vincent Kompany made just one change, with Mike Tresor taking the place of Jacob Bruun Larsen.

Burnley XI: Trafford, Vitinho, O’Shea, Beyer, Taylor, Tresor, Berge, Brownhill, Odobert, Foster, Amdouni.

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has made five changes from the match against Arsenal for the Boxing Day clash with Burnley.

Kostas Tsmikas is out with the injury he sustained against Arsenal, with Dominik Szoboszlai, Ibrahima Konate, Curtis Jones and Luiz Diaz all on the bench.

In their places, Darwin Nunez, Harvey Elliott, Ryan Gravenberch, Jarell Quansah and Joe Gomez are all in the starting XI.

Liverpool XI: Alisson, Alexander-Arnold, Van Dijk, Quansah, Gomez, Gravenberch, Endo, Elliott, Salah, Gakpo, Nunez.

Liverpool have not been especially successful on the road this season.

Of their nine matches away from home they have four victories and four draws, although just a single defeat.

The four draws have harmed their push to claim the Premier League top spot, although they remain difficult to beat.

Jurgen Klopp has been unhappy with the Anfield atmosphere at times recently, here is something from before the Arsenal match:

The Reds manager was unimpressed with the atmosphere at Anfield as Liverpool cruised into the Carabao Cup semi-finals by thrashing West Ham United 5-1 on Wednesday.

Jurgen Klopp said he welcomed Liverpool’s stance that they will not sign up for a European Super League and want to play in the Champions League instead.

But he also revealed he liked the European Union’s court ruling that Uefa and Fifa broke EU law in their attempts to block the Super League – because he believes they should not have the power to introduce new competitions without consulting with clubs and managers.

Liverpool expect to lose Mohamed Salah to the Africa Cup of Nations after their New Year’s Day meeting with Newcastle, meaning he will miss the FA Cup clash with Arsenal.

Salah is set to captain Egypt in the tournament in Ivory Coast and could be away until the middle of February – in which case he would be absent for both legs of Liverpool’s Carabao Cup semi-final against Fulham and potentially big Premier League clashes with Chelsea and Arsenal.

Liverpool forward Mohamed Salah says he “shares the pain” of grieving families this Christmas amid the ongoing Israel-Hamas war.

The war has devastated large parts of Gaza, killed more than 20,400 Palestinians and displaced almost all of the territory’s 2.3 million people.

A fine game, but perhaps the best result for the title race as a whole. Through that, it was maybe better for Manchester City than anyone else, too.

Liverpool, for the second big home match in a row, will believe they again left the full three points on the pitch. That will especially be the case every time they look at that break that ended with Trent Alexander-Arnold hitting the bar.

That’s also why Arsenal will ultimately be happier with the result. It just might still linger that they would like that big away win to really propel their campaign. Mikel Arteta’s side are top at Christmas, but not quite fully on top form. This draw displayed there’s now real substance, much more than last season. There isn’t, however, that elevated attacking coherence the league knows they can produce.

That can of course come. In many ways, as enjoyably excellent as this game became, it was maybe natural that a match between two of the three best sides in the Premier League ended up showcasing some remaining flaws in each other. That’s what they bring out in each other, as well as brilliance like the two goals. The exacting level from these huge matches.

Boxing Day is always an extra Christmas treat for football fans and Tuesday is no different, with five Premier League games staggered through the day, all being broadcast live on Amazon Prime Video – for the final time, after Amazon’s pivot to boxing starting next season.

There is also a stacked schedule in the Championship, including a top-of-the-table showdown between second-placed Ipswich and league leaders Leicester, as well as games throughout the Football League and one Scottish Premiership clash as Dundee travel to leaders Celtic.
