    28'
    Lennon curls in a teasing cross and, under great pressure, Alexander-Arnold does well to nod it behind with McNeil waiting to pounce behind him.
    26'
    Mane's shot is deflected behind for a corner, prompting half-hearted appeals for a spot-kick from the travelling supporters. Never.
    25'
    Salah hasn't been afforded much space so far, hence why he dropped into midfield a few minutes ago to conjure up their most recent opportunity.
    23'
    Liverpool are threatening to find their rhythm, as Firmino sees his shot blocked by Mee.

    Salah goes close! Salah drops into midfield and exchanges passes with Henderson who plays him through... but Pope is off his line quickly to block the shot and the rebound is deflected wide.

    McNeil has looked bright and positive in the early stages here. He picks the ball up in space, tries an ambitious shot from distance but Adrian makes a straight forward stop.
    18'
    Burnley are not giving the visitors a moment's pace, pressing them all over the pitch. Liverpool, it has to be said, don't look entirely comfortable just now, but how long can the Clarets play at this tempo?
    15'
    Liverpool appear to be operating in a 4-2-3-1 formation, but they have yet to test Pope with 15 minutes on the clock.
    13'
    The Reds claimed a 3-1 victory at Turf Moor last season when Milner, Firmino and Shaqiri were on the score-sheet. Klopp would snap your hand off for a similar result this evening.
    11'
    Van Dijk heads behind for another Burnley corner and this time Adrian punches the ball clear. Bright start from the hosts.
    10'
    McNeil and Alexander-Arnold is going to be a fascinating battle on the flank this evening. The Burnley winger wins a corner from his counter-part just now.
    8'
    Burnley have picked up four points from their opening three games and despite today's illustrious opposition they look like they're confident mood.
    6'
    It was a cheeky attempt from Salah and it had Pope beaten at his near post. It has been quite the frantic start.

    Liverpool hit the post! So close to the opener... Salah, with an instinctive early right-footed shot, is denied by the woodwork. Pope was well beaten.

    Early chance for Burnley! Van Dijk (yes, Van Dijk!) is caught sleeping as a routine long ball finds its way into the path of Wood. He cuts inside and fires a shot at goal, forcing the fully-stretched Adrian into a decent stop. That comes just moments after Fabinho almost grazed the bar with a shot from distance.

    KICK-OFF: Liverpool get the game underway at Turf Moor. Will records tumble or can Burnley spring a major surprise and deny the Reds a historic victory?
    17:25
    A club record 13th successive top-flight victory would see Liverpool leapfrog leaders Manchester City - who thrashed Brighton 4-0 earlier today - into the top spot.
    14:20
    Jurgen Klopp names the same side that beat Arsenal 3-1 at Anfield last Saturday, while Sean Dyche makes one change from the side that drew 1-1 at Wolves on Sunday, with Lennon replacing the injured Gudmundsson.
