Good morning, or what’s left of it! Welcome to live coverage of Liverpool versus Burnley from Anfield. You may well remember the last time Anfield was full and popping for a meaningful game – it was on 11 March 2020, as the Reds ceded their European crown in a humdinger of a second leg in the Champions League knockout stages against Atletico Madrid. Who knew then that these famous stands would be barren for the 17 months that followed? That’s all changed now though, and hopefully for good. Burnley are back at Anfield today, for the first time since scoring a landmark victory at the deserted stadium in January. The 1-0 victory by Sean Dyche’s team that day sent Jurgen Klopp’s team into a tailspin where they lost six Premier League matches in a row at Anfield after being unbeaten there in league fixtures for almost four years. So what will we get today? Whatever it is, it’ll be backed by a proper wall of noise at Anfield for the first time in 528 days. Welcome home, Liverpool; team news
