  1. Injury issues for Reds, but Lallana backpublished at 14:43 Greenwich Mean Time 1 January 2018

    Burnley v Liverpool (15:00 GMT)

    Philippe Coutinho and Mohamed Salah miss out for the Reds with thigh and groin injuries respectively, while Adam Lallana makes his first start of the season.

    But do you like a conspiracy theory? Coutinho's name appeared on the Nike website on the back of a Barcelona shirt over the weekend. It's been removed since but, according to Nike: "Philippe Coutinho is ready to light up Camp Nou."

    Take a look at the full story elsewhere on the BBC Sport website.

    Just one change for Burnley. James Tarkowski returns at centre-back following suspension, replacing Kevin Long, who drops to the bench. Chris Wood remains absent through injury so Ashley Barnes starts in attack.

    Liverpool make seven changes. The big news is the absence of both Mohamed Salah and Philippe Coutinho. The former is injured. The latter is also presumably not fit as he is not in the squad. Adam Lallana and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain start.

    The only players to keep their place in the side are Dejan Lovren, Joe Gomez, Emre Can and Sadio Mane. Roberto Firmino is on the bench. Simon Mignolet captains the side.
