    If there is another goal then I think its for Burnley. They've woken up an first to every ball. Little bit of quality and a goal is probable.

    Burnley just need to #BURLIV and they’ll get something from this game

    Liverpool have not managed the game as well as they should have done. That's not something Jurgen Klopp will not be happy with.

    Fair play to Burnley, they've kept on going. I think they're inspired by the points they've already collected in December.

    Important challenge from Jarell Quansah, who slides in to stop Zeki Amdouni, who would have been away.

    Wilson Odobert is great when he gets going and he almost dances past three, four, five players, before he scoops it wide under pressure.

    Trent Alexander-Arnold is in the book for bringing down Lyle Foster after a mix-up with Jarell Quansah.

    Josh Brownhill takes the set-piece but there's nobody on the end of it.

    Great work from James Trafford again.

    Trent Alexander-Arnold's curling cross is headed back across by Virgil van Dijk.

    Darwin Nunez is poised to poke it in but Trafford dives on top of it.

    Stop looking for excuses. That goal was justifiably ruled out. Liverpool need to start being more clinical not just blaming var!

    Ed

    Burnley have realised how to hurt Liverpool. Run around a lot and work hard, then put the ball down the channels and chase it. Reds aren’t good enough to keep possession when harried, profligate up front and prone to individual errors at the back.

    Liverpool are back in control again. Burnley have dropped deep and the away fans are singing loudest.

    Mohamed Salah slips it into Darwin Nunez and he wins a corner.

    Jarell Quansah is put under pressure by Lyle Foster but he spins away coolly and Liverpool can go on the attack.

    Trent Alexander-Arnold eventually curls it into Curtis Jones. He heads it towards Dominik Szoboszlai and somehow, he misses from a few yards out!

    Burnley are starting to grow into this, they are forcing some kicking errors from Alisson.

    How costly will that Johann Berg Gudmundsson miss prove to be?

    Even Alisson is making mistakes now.

    He skews a clearance straight out for a throw-in and there's a big roar from the fans.

    What should have been a routine win, has turned into a real slog with two decisions. Liverpool will need to score a goal with 0% uncertainty if they are to seal this comfortably.

    A bit of an anxious look on Jurgen Klopp's face.

    Liverpool were in complete cruise control but those VAR decisions seem to have knocked them.

    Burnley are the side looking more dangerous now.

    It didn't need that much [on it] from Johann Gudmundsson. In the end it flies off his head.
