Premier League live updates: Burnley vs Liverpool

Fabinho's first-half goal proves decisive as Liverpool reduce Manchester City's lead at the top of the Premier League table to nine points.

Burnley made them work hard for it and put on another fine performance, but thanks to Newcastle's 1-0 victory over Aston Villa, the Clarets are now seven points adrift of safety.

Keita makes his way off to be replaced by Milner.

Liverpool are simply running down the clock now. File this one in the 'hard-earned victories' list.

Liverpool are almost there now but just to make sure James Milner is going to be called upon.

Jota has the chance to secure the points for Liverpool after receiving a pass from Salah. A sliding tackle from Tarkowski puts him off as he slices wide.

The Burnley forward can't believe how much space he has to run into as the offside flag stays down. He tries to round Alisson, who forces him wide and he can only hit the side netting.

And then the offside flag is raised.

Liverpool looking much more comfortable since Weghorst was taken off. Time is running out for Burnley. Their missed chances in the first half look set to cost them this afternoon.

Alexander-Arnold makes a great run behind the Burnley defence to run onto Fabinho's lofted ball. His cross takes a deflection off Mee and it almost ends up in the back of his own net. Liverpool have to settle for a corner.

Barnes is involved immediately as he races down the left flank but his cross, although teasing, is just in front of McNeil and he fails to make the connection.

Ashley Barnes, who scored the winner between the sides at Anfield last season, comes on for Weghorst.

A huge blow for Burnley and their goal to remain in the top-flight as their number 9 limps off with an injury. The club will be praying this is nothing serious.

Fabinho has five goals this calendar year, so you can't blame him for being full of confidence. He lets fly with a shot from 30 yards and it's never close to troubling Pope as it ends up in the stands.

Thiago switches the ball to Robertson with an outrageous pass. He controls and crosses for Firmino, but he heads just over the bar.

His blushes are spared by the offside flag.

Mane's game is up, he's replaced by Jota.

Pope is off his line ahead of Mane to gather Alexander-Arnold's cross from the right.

Weghorst picks the ball up from outside the box, brushes off Thiago and fires a shot at goal. It's on target but relatively straightforward for Alisson.

McNeil, who had started every Premier League until today, comes on for Rodriguez.

Thiago's first contribution is a delicious pass to Salah on the right flank. He looks to be tripped but the referee allows play to continue, and Burnley break. Cornet skips away from his marker but his final pass is poor and Alisson collects.

Henderson picked up a knock in the first half and has done well to remain on the pitch this long. He's replaced by Thiago.

Van Dijk takes the captain's armband.
