Burnley will be looking at set-pieces to have a sniff at goal.

They earn a corner which Josh Brownhill swings in but Alisson comes over a sea of bodies to punch clear.

Excellent goalkeeping.

Burnley are being penned back deep into their own half.

Liverpool are working some lovely triangles and Trent Alexander-Arnold chips a glorious pass through to Sadio Mane in the six yard box, but the Senegal international laces over on the stretch.

Chalked off!

VAR has a look and deems Mohamed Salah to be offside from the pass.

It wasn't an armpit or toenail decision so Salah won't be the beneficiary of the more relaxed rules that are in place this season.

A packed Anfield is a sight...

Liverpool are looking good, really good.

It seems they are over their awful injury issues from last season and back to nearly full strength and they will be right in the hunt this season.

Naby Keita lofts a pass to the back edge of the box but Harvey Elliott just cannot quite get it under control.

Ed Quoththeraven: For all the joy of Burnley starting numbers 1-11, as a player you're given a choice of any number. What they've done is the equivalent of being offered any ice cream in the world and choosing a single scoop of vanilla

At the other end, Liverpool come close to doubling their lead.

Mohamed Salah's curling effort from outside the box is pushed away by Nick Pope and from the resulting corner, big Virgil van Dijk heads over the crossbar.

Liverpool fall asleep at a free-kick and James Tarkowski has plenty of room at the back post but the centre-back cannot get his stretching effort on target.

The refereeing this season has totally changed - it's like WWE out here! He's just allowing the game to breathe and flow and both teams are up for this and just really going for it now.

Burnley have reacted well though and Dwight McNeil drills a left-footed drive towards the near post which Alisson bats away.

The Brazil goalkeeper would have been disappointed to concede from there.

Absolutely fantastic header - what movement just to get across the defender - fantastic leap, up high and glances it across him into the net. The keeper had no chance - fantastic goal all round from Liverpool.

Burnley are posing a threat in the final third though and Alisson has to react quickly at the near post.

A bouncing ball in the Burnley half, it's a 50-50 challenge between Mohamed Salah and Ben Mee.

Only going to be one winner as the Clarets skipper comes hurtling in to head it away.

Liverpool are beginning to find their rhythm now, skipper Jordan Henderson dinks in a lovely cross into the six yard box but a combination of Ben Mee and James Tarkowski manage to get it away from danger.

The 18-year-old Harvey Elliott tries to work some magic down the right and wins Liverpool their first corner, which is headed away.

Alphonse Rawlinson: For all the plaudits for Dyche are we able to talk about the ugliness of how Burnley play yet. Already it's fouls to break up any flow, it's time wasting to slow the game. I don't know whether Refs need to tighten up or what, feels like football played in wrong spirit

MillsysView: This first 10 minutes has been absolutely typical Burnley football and I’ve got to say that I absolutely LOVE it!

You can see how Burnley are looking to work it today, up to the two frontmen as quickly as possible.

The Reds backline will have to stay on their toes today, Virgil van Dijk's knees will be getting a good workout.
