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.

Predicted line-ups

Burnley: Pope, Bardsley, Long, Tarkowski, Taylor, Pieters, Westwood, Brownhill, McNeil, Rodriguez, Wood
Prediction
Burnley are in good form right now, and Liverpool are without their captain, but even Sean Dyche will struggle to come up with a way to stop Liverpool in full flow. Liverpool 2-0 Burnley.
Jurgen Klopp makes four changes, then, after his side's 3-1 win at Brighton on Wednesday night. Curtis Jones is given a chance in the starting XI, while Fabinho, Sadio Mane and Andy Robertson come back in.
Burnley make just one change, but it's a welcome one, with Chris Wood returning in place of Matej Vydra.
History suggests Liverpool shouldn't have too many problems this afternoon. They're also on a 57-game unbeaten run at Anfield, following their 2-0 win over Aston Villa last time out.
Nick Pope and Alisson are currently locked in a battle to finish with the most clean sheets. The Burnley goalkeeper has 14 to his name, and Alisson 13.
And, of course, Mo Salah will have his eye on the Golden Boot again after scoring twice at Brighton. He's on 19 Premier League goals for the season, three behind leading scorer Jamie Vardy.
Burnley's players are out, ready to give Liverpool a guard of honour. The champions are about to emerge from the tunnel.
The players observe a minute of silence in memory of Jack Charlton. And Liverpool get us underway!
3 min: Wijnaldum sets off on a driving run from his own half and makes it all the way to the edge of the box before looking for Firmino. The pass is intercepted, and Pope launches the ball clear. Liverpool are having all of the ball early on, with Burnley set in their defensive shape.
