Latest Liverpool news and gossip as Jurgen Klopp prepares the Reds to face Burnley in the Premier League clash at Anfield today and will have plenty of options at his disposal
Liverpool is working hard to be ready for their Premier League comeback against Burnley today.
The Reds are back in the top division with the intention of winning after their loss to Arsenal last weekend. Following that setback, Liverpool’s lead over the Gunners and Manchester City is now just two points.
Man City’s match against Brentford later this month is their next opportunity to gain ground on Liverpool. The Reds may begin this afternoon’s match against Burnley in second place if Pep Guardiola’s squad wins all three points against Everton.
With a victory over Burnley this afternoon, Jurgen Klopp will be trying to get his team back on track. Darwin Nunez and Diogo Jota both scored goals in the rematch match at Turf Moor on Boxing Day, which resulted in a 2-0 victory.
With his team, Klopp will have to cope with a number of injury problems. The latest problem concerns Thiago Alcantara, who suffered a hamstring injury during his cameo against Arsenal and is anticipated to be out for some time.
After suffering an injury during Egypt’s Africa Cup of Nations international duty, Mohamed Salah has been occupied with his recovery. Although the forward’s return to action is probably premature for today’s match, Salah might play against Brentford on Saturday.
However, Wataru Endo is anticipated to rejoin the team after representing Japan in the Asian Cup. Endo is anticipated to play against Burnley this afternoon despite missing seven Liverpool games while on international duty.
