Team news - Liverpool
Liverpool: Adrian, Alexander-Arnold, Matip, Van Dijk, Robertson, Fabinho, Wijnaldum, Henderson, Mane, Salah, Firmino.
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.

Kick off: Liverpool start the match, they send it long down the left and then lose the ball as it's brought into the box.

6 mins: A long ball forward from Alexander-Arnold finds Mane, who wins the ball and brings it down to Firmino. Firmino plays it out to the right of the box to Salah, who instinctively shoots and hits the near post!

9 mins: What a start to the game, chances for both Wood and Salah. Things have settled down to the expected rhythm with Liverpool in possession and Burnley looking to counter. McNeil gets away down the left wing and comes up against Trent Alexander-Arnold who puts the ball behind for a corner.
