Liverpool VS Burnley Saturday (16/09/2017) 15:00 (WAT)
Jurgen Klopp and Liverpool need a return to winning ways as they host Burnley in Saturday's Premier League Anfield clash.
Liverpool were humbled 5-0 at Manchester City last weekend as a Sadio Mane red card left Klopp's side badly exposed, and they followed that up with a frustrating 2-2 Champions League draw against Sevilla in midweek.
The Reds missed a hatful of chances against Sevilla at Anfield, and cannot afford to be so wasteful against Burnley this weekend.
Sean Dyche's Clarets sit seventh in the table after picking up points on the road against title chasers Chelsea (a 3-2 win) and Tottenham (a 1-1 draw), and head to Anfield full of confidence on their travels - a far cry from last season's horrific away form.
Team news The FA have rejected Liverpool's appeal over the length of Sadio Mane's suspension, with the Senegalese forward set to miss the next three domestic games.
While Mane is a big miss, Klopp will likely call on Philippe Coutinho as the Brazilian bids to return to full fitness - and the coach is set to continue rotating his goalkeepers with Loris Karius making way for Simon Mignolet.
Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain could also finally be handed the central midfield role he has been craving as Klopp shuffles his pack after a few draining weekends.
Burnley boss Dyche has few injury worries apart from Tom Heaton, with the No.1 goalkeeper ruled out for months after dislocating his shoulder in the win against Crystal Palace.
