Liverpool are taking on Burnley at Anfield today as the close in on the Premier League points record set by Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City.

The new champions began the day on 92 points, and with four games remaining they can set a new benchmark for top-flight points. However they will have to do it without their captain Jordan Henderson after he was ruled out for the rest of the campaign, and face a Burnley side in good form since the restart.

Here's how the bottom of the Premier League looks as things stand:

The players are out at the respective roads, Carrow and Vicarage. Almost time for kick off in the first two games of the day.

There'll be a minute of silence in memory of Jack Charlton at both stadiums.

Callum Rice-Coates11 July 2020 12:29

Watford get things underway at Vicarage Road!

And Norwich have the ball rolling at Carrow Road, too.

2 min: Some early attacking intent from West Ham as Bowen surges down the right and breaks into the box. He takes a slightly heavy touch before he can get a shot off, though.

3 min: Saint-Maximin looks lively early on at Vicarage Road, whipping a dangerous ball across the face of goal. It misses everyone, but he's going to be a real threat for the visitors.

Callum Rice-Coates11 July 2020 12:34

4 min: A decent chance for Soucek, who latches onto a mis-hit Antonio shot and almost squeezes the ball in from a tight angle. West Ham are on top early on.

Callum Rice-Coates11 July 2020 12:35

8 min: Soucek is involved again at Carrow Road as Antonio drives down the left and pulls back towards the edge of the box. The Czech midfielder tries to place a low shot into the bottom corner but sends it just wide.

Callum Rice-Coates11 July 2020 12:39

9 min: At Carrow Road, Newcastle look the livelier of the two sides, though it's been a fairly scrappy start. There might be a degree of cautiousness from Watford today. A point would hardly be a disaster for them.
