Premier League transfer round-up: Tottenham aim for double signing

Follow live updates as Liverpool FC face a trip to Burnley in the Premier League, one of three early kick-offs to be staged this afternoon. The Reds are aiming to keep pace with Manchester City after the Premier League leaders re-established their 12-point lead at the top of the table thanks to a 4-0 win over Norwich on Saturday night. Jurgen Klopp’s side are on a run of three wins in a row in the Premier League, although the Liverpool manager was dismissive of their chances of catching City in the Premier League title race following Thursday’s 2-0 win over Leicester at Anfield.

Diogo Jota continued his goalscoring form on a night which also saw Luis Diaz make his first Premier League start and Mohamed Salah return following Egypt’s Africa Cup of Nations defeat to Senegal last weekend. Sadio Mane, who scored the winning penalty in Senegal’s triumph, could return today as Liverpool visit Turf Moor, where they find a Burnley side at the bottom of the table under Sean Dyche. The Clarets are unbeaten in three following the midweek draw with Manchester United, however, but are desperate for a win to boost their survival chances.

Follow live updates from Burnley vs Liverpool below, plus scores from Tottenham vs Wolves and Newcastle vs Aston Villa, in the day’s other early kick-offs:

Burnley 0 - 0 Liverpool

6 mins: Close! Mo Salah is given the ball on the right channel and drives towards the box. He fires it quickly across the pitch to give the ball to Andy Robertson who’s flying froward from his position at left-back. Salah gives him the signal to swing a cross to the back post but the ball skips quickly off the surface and Salah doesn’t manage to get it under control before it goes out for a goal kick.

Burnley 0 - 0 Liverpool

3 mins: Trent Alexander-Arnold passes the ball inside to Roberto Firmino who attempts to flick it in behind for Mo Salah but Erik Pieters it there to intercept and win the ball for Burnley.

The ball comes across to James Tarkowski. He floats a diagonal ball over to the left wing where Maxwel Cornet makes a run at the Liverpool back line. The ball drops over his head though and bounces out of play.

Burnley 0 - 0 Liverpool

Kick off: Liverpool get the match underway at Turf Moor. It’s not backed to Joel Matip who attempts to play Sadio Mane down the left wing but puts the long ball out of play.

Burnley vs Liverpool

The teams make their way out onto the pitch at Turf Moor. Liverpool are overwhelming favourites to win today but Burnley are tough to beat.

This game may not set the Premier League alight in terms of excitement but it should be an interesting contest. Kick off is up next...

Elsewhere in the Premier League

There are another two Premier League games kicking off at 2pm which will have ramifications at either end of the table. Newcastle have a difficult match against Aston Villa but could move further away from the relegation zone with a win.

Meanwhile, Tottenham host Wolves. Both teams are vying for spots in the European places. Spurs would close the gap on the top four to just one point with a win whilst Wolves would jump ahead of their opponents if they were to defeat Tottenham today.

10 minutes to go until kick off at Turf Moor. It’s a wet and windy day in Burnley. Can Liverpool continue their winning run or will Burnley take points off another top six club?

Burnley vs Liverpool: The explosive talent and traits which make Luis Diaz Liverpool’s latest ideal signing

The top scorer for the top team in Portugal. More than a goal or assist every 90 minutes of league play. Two goals in the same Champions League group as the team keen to sign him and the Copa America’s joint-top scorer, along with a certain Lionel Messi.

It’s easy to see the broad strokes of the attacking play which have attracted Liverpool to Luis Diaz, with the Reds now hopeful of signing the FC Porto wide man before Monday’s transfer deadline.

There’s far more to his game though, and his personality, than mere goalscoring – however important that factor might eventually be in one of Europe’s top teams outlaying big money for his services.
