PREM: Burnley v Liverpool preview

Burnley v Liverpool preview

Liverpool could be without Sadio Mane and Andy Robertson when they travel to struggling Burnley in the Premier League.

Both players sustained injuries during Liverpool's Merseyside derby win over Everton on Sunday and could miss the match at Turf Moor.

Manager Jurgen Klopp said on Tuesday: "Sadio really had an awful cut on his foot. It needed to be stitched; he is OK but walking around here now in flip-flops and you don't play in flip-flops! That means in this moment he is not ready, but we will see later.

"With Robbo it is not that serious as with Sadio, but we need to have a look."

Liverpool's win over Everton saw them remain unbeaten in the Premier League and stay in touch with Premier League leaders Manchester City.

Burnley's poor run of form continued with a 2-0 defeat at Crystal Palace at the weekend.

The Clarets have only won two games in the Premier League this season and have lost five of their six games.

"We've had our fair share of results against the big sides, but everyone loves an underdog story," said manager Sean Dyche.

"We have to play well, that's for sure, but the bigger thing for me is putting out a performance."

Burnley defender James Tarkowski could make his first appearance for a month after returning from hernia surgery.

Ben Gibson could also be in contention but Steven Defour is "touch and go" and Robbie Brady might be a doubt after suffering an apparent ankle injury against Palace.

Liverpool captain Jordan Henderson returns from suspension and Adam Lallana is available.
