The festive Premier League action continues with an early evening Turf Moor tussle on Boxing Day. Liverpool make the trip to Lancashire hoping to pile pressure on title rivals Arsenal following their thrilling 1-1 draw at Anfield at the weekend, with just a point enough to take Jurgen Klopp’s Reds back to the summit tonight as the Gunners don’t host West Ham in a London derby until Thursday. But third-place Aston Villa do play at Old Trafford later.
Liverpool will be determined to get back to winning ways after only one victory in their last four games across all competitions, heavy favourites to make it eight Premier League wins out of nine on this ground. Burnley’s first season back at this level has been a massive struggle for the most part, particularly at home, but a shock 2-0 win at Fulham on Saturday has given renewed hope to Vincent Kompany in the relegation battle with December also yielding a rout of fellow strugglers Sheffield United and an impressive draw at Brighton.
Klopp has made five changes to his team here in a bid to stay fresh amid a hectic fixture schedule, while there is just the one alteration from the hosts. Follow Liverpool vs Burnley live below!
