Almost another immediate impact off the bench as Federico Chiesa's first touch - like it was for Andy Robertson in the first half - is to almost score but he sends his header wide.

A change for Liverpool as Hugo Ekitiké is replaced by Federico Chiesa.
I wonder if Arne Slot regrets just a little bit not having Alexander Isak as an option for the final 10 minutes or so.

The Burnley defence is under near constant pressure but I would also say they are pretty comfortable with it. Every cross or intricate pass Liverpool attempt is cut out.

Liverpool are plugging away but are perhaps getting guilty of rushing things now in their desperation to score, with Mohamed Salah playing in a poor cross and Dominik Szoboszlai's seeing a couple of shots from distance blocked.

I'm struggling to understand why Gakpo is taking corners. He never has done before. Especially ahead of Szoboszlai, Wirtz or Robertson who have done previously for Liverpool, past clubs or do so countries. It's not working so far.

Jaidon Anthony leads a break for Burnley. It is two on two and he plays the ball into the box for Loum Tchaouna but Virgil van Dijk is back to deal with the danger once again.
The one downside of the fast break for Burnley is they are a little out of shape for a few minutes after and Florian Wirtz is not far off with a low shot that skips past the far post.
Liverpool on an excellent scoring run under Slotpublished at 15:13 BST 14 September

BBC Sport journalistLiverpool won't be overly worried about the lack of clear-cut chances, at least not yet.
Arne Slot’s side have scored in a club record 37 consecutive top-flight matches since a 1-0 home defeat to Nottingham Forest exactly a year ago today.
It's the third-best run in Premier League history.

Mohamed Salah's late penalty gives Liverpool victory after substitute Hannibal handles Jeremie Frimpong's cross
Liverpool staged another dramatic late show as Mohamed Salah's stoppage-time penalty maintained their flawless start to the Premier League season and broke the hearts of battling Burnley.
Burnley looked to have frustrated the champions until substitute Hannibal handled Jeremie Frimpong's cross deep into five minutes of additional time, allowing Salah to blast home the spot-kick in front of Liverpool's elated travelling fans.
Salah's winner came just as Burnley were within touching distance of being the first team to take points off Liverpool this season.
Liverpool head coach Arne Slot left new £125m British record signing Alexander Isak out of his squad while he continues to build up the former Newcastle United striker's fitness, but the Reds then ran into a claret wall of defiance.
Burnley barely troubled Liverpool's defence and had to dig deep to stay level for so long. Home keeper Martin Dubravka saved superbly from Dominik Szoboszlai in the second half and substitute Federico Chiesa headed wide seconds after coming on.
Burnley were reduced to 10 men for the last six minutes when Lesley Ugochukwu received a second yellow card from referee Michael Oliver for a foul on Florian Wirtz, having earlier been booked for a challenge on Alexis Mac Allister.
Liverpool kept pushing and got their reward, which means they have won each of their Premier League games with goals inside the last 10 minutes, including winners in added time at Newcastle United and here at Burnley.
Burnley, meanwhile, have lost twice to stoppage-time spot-kicks after suffering a similar fate at Manchester United.
Liverpool analysis: Reds leave it late again
'Moment of luck' - Slot on late penalty winner
Liverpool's strong start to the Premier League season has been built on late winners and here was another, Burnley having been seconds away from what would have been a superb result.
The champions scored in the 88th minute and then in the fourth minute of stoppage time to beat Bournemouth in their opening game at Anfield. Teenager Rio Ngumoha scored a 100th-minute winner at Newcastle United.
Szoboszlai's decisive free-kick against Arsenal came seven minutes from time, while Salah did the trick at Turf Moor.
It reflects the fact that Liverpool have not been at their best, despite recording four straight wins, but also illustrates the steel that runs through this side along with the skill.
And there is also the psychological impact of Liverpool's relentless approach, perhaps resulting in Hannibal's needless handball that took away a precious point from Burnley.
Liverpool can now start their Champions League campaign against Atletico Madrid at Anfield on Wednesday on the back of another domestic victory, with Slot revealing Isak will be involved against the Spanish side.
Burnley analysis: Parker's men can take heart
"My team didn't tap out" - Parker proud of Burnley despite late Liverpool loss
Scott Parker's most painful brush with Liverpool ended in a 9-0 defeat at Anfield when he was Bournemouth manager in August 2022, resulting in his sacking days later.
This was almost complete redemption for Parker, as his Burnley side defended magnificently and with superb organisation until Hannibal's reckless moment undermined the efforts.
Parker was the picture of agony in his technical area, as he was at Old Trafford when Bruno Fernandes' injury-time penalty allowed Manchester United to snatch victory in Burnley's previous league game.
Parker can take huge encouragement from both performances, however, as Burnley kept Liverpool at arm's length until tired legs and tired minds took over in the closing stages.
Kyle Walker showed why his vast experience will be vital to their fight to stay in the Premier League and Maxime Esteve was superb in central defence.
Parker and his players will feel bitter pain – but when that subsides there can also be pride.
What's next for these teams?
Burnley: The Clarets are at home to Nottingham Forest on Saturday, 20 September (15:00 BST). Burnley are then back at Turf Moor to face Cardiff City in the Carabao Cup third round on Tuesday, 23 September (19:45 BST).
Liverpool: Slot's team start their Champions League campaign when Atletico Madrid come to Anfield on Wednesday, 17 September (20:00 BST). Liverpool then face Everton in the Merseyside derby at Anfield on Saturday, 20 September (12:30 BST).

Match Facts
Burnley have lost 14 of their 18 Premier League matches against Liverpool (W2 D2), including each of their last five in a row since a 1-0 win at Anfield in January 2021.
Liverpool have won eight of their nine away Premier League matches at Turf Moor against Burnley (L1), winning the last six in a row. The Reds have won seven away top-flight games in a row against three teams previously: West Brom (8 between 1983 and 2009), Norwich (8 between 1995 and 2021) and Crystal Palace (7 between 2016 and 2022).
Liverpool are looking to win their opening four Premier League matches in a season for a third time, also doing so in 2018-19 (finished 2nd) and 2019-20 (won the title). It would be the third time in a row the reigning top-flight champions have won their first four games (also Man City in 2023-24 and 2024-25), the first time ever in top-flight history that’s happened.
Burnley have already shipped 37.5% of their total league goals from 2024-25 (16) in the Premier League this season (6). If they concede two in this game, it’d be the joint earliest in Football League history a side had already conceded 50% or more of their goal tally from the previous campaign, with Portsmouth in 1987-88 shipping 15 goals in four games, 54% of their previous season’s tally (28).
Burnley won four of their first seven Premier League matches against the reigning champions (D1 L2) but they’ve since lost 10 of their last 11, conceding 30 goals in those 10 defeats. The exception in this run was a 1-0 away win at Liverpool in January 2021.
Liverpool have scored in 37 consecutive Premier League matches, their longest run in top-flight history. Only Tottenham (39 in a row, March 2023 – March 2024) and Arsenal (55, May 2001 – November 2002) have scored in more Premier League matches in a row.
Burnley have scored with none of their 15 attempts in the first halves of Premier League matches this season, but in the second half of games they’ve netted with four out of 12 shots, the best conversion rate after the break of any side (33%).
This will be Burnley manager Scott Parker’s first Premier League match against Liverpool since losing 9-0 with Bournemouth back in August 2022. He has beaten the Reds before however, a 1-0 win in March 2021, and could become the second manager to beat both Jürgen Klopp and Arne Slot in the Premier League, along with Marco Silva.
Liverpool’s Florian Wirtz has made the most off-ball runs in the Premier League this season (92), while he’s also made the most runs into the attacking third (42) and most runs ahead of the ball (26).
Alexander Isak is set to make his Liverpool debut in this match – between 2022-23 and 2024-25, only two players scored more Premier League goals than he did (54). Two players (Hugo Ekitiké and Rio Ngumoha) have scored on their debuts this season, with 1946-47 the last time more Reds player scored on their top-flight debuts in one campaign (Len Carney, Billy Liddell, Albert Stubbins, Cyril Done, William Watkinson).
