The Reds’ superiority is almost overwhelming in this initial phase. Even though Jürgen Klopp’s team took fewer shots on goal in the last few minutes than at the beginning of the game, the 2-0 is still up in the air.

The Reds are pushing for the second goal! Harvey Elliott shoots from a central position in front of the penalty area and the ball deflects slightly off Dara O’Shea. Cody Gakpo rushes up to push the ball over the line, but James Trafford is on the post and comes out of his box in time.

6:48 p.m
Burnley is playing with fire! Despite the visitors’ high pressing, Vincent Kompany’s team tried to find playful solutions in the build-up. However, the Clarets lose a lot of balls in their own penalty area, as was the case with a catastrophic bad pass from Louis Beyer, which Liverpool cannot immediately take advantage of. Can this go well for a long time?

6:45 p.m
The first quarter of an hour at Turf Moor is extremely entertaining. Burnley leaves some gaps in defense, which means Liverpool always get dangerous shots. But the Clarets are not hiding and are also coming into play on offense, which has been a real treat so far, especially for neutral observers.

There wasn’t much missing! After a great dribble from Odobert, Berge passes it centrally in front of the penalty area for his teammate Brownhill. He immediately looks for the finish and misses the bottom right corner by just centimeters – but Alisson would probably have been there.

This is all way too easy! After a long ball from Trent Alexander-Arnold, full-back Vitinho completely misjudges himself and dives under the long hit, so that Cody Gakpo appears alone on the left of the penalty area. The Dutchman takes the ball out of the air with his left foot, but drives it straight into the south corner – Burnley is extremely dangerous!

Huge parade from Trafford! Goalscorer Núñez points the ball centrally into the penalty area to Salah, who immediately looks for the finish after a short turn. The Egyptian aims for the top right corner, but fails due to a sensational move by the Clarets goalkeeper, who is just able to direct the ball over the crossbar.

Tooor for Liverpool FC, 0-1 by Darwin Núñez
The guests set the route very early on! On the left, Cody Gakpo can beat Vitinho in the penalty area and has an eye on his strike colleague Darwin Núñez. The Uruguayan exploits the lay-off just before the penalty area in a half-left position with the inside and circles the ball wonderfully into the bottom right corner – nothing to do for James Trafford.

6:35 p.m
Liverpool finish for the first time! The home team’s center is not well occupied, so Harvey Elliott can strut almost unchallenged into the opponent’s penalty area. Shortly before that, in a central position, he looks for the shot to the bottom right corner, which James Trafford is able to parry.

The atmosphere at Turf Moor is definitely giving the hosts a boost. And that despite the fact that the Clarets’ home supporters haven’t exactly been spoiled this season so far. Before the last home game, which they won against rivals Sheffield, every previous duel at Turf Moor was lost.

Game start

Today’s game will be officiated by referee Paul Tierney. He is assisted on the sidelines by Marc Perry and Scott Ledger.

The hosts, who will now undoubtedly remain in second-to-last place in the table after Luton’s victory over Sheffield this afternoon, will only make one change in personnel compared to their away win at Fulham. In the usual 4-4-2 system, coach Vincent Kompany only swaps on the right offensive side and brings Mike Trésor into the starting line-up for Jóhann Guðmundsson. It remains to be seen whether the Clarets can extend their meager home haul, which is just a measly three points this season, against the visitors from Liverpool. In any case, Burnley FC doesn’t have much to lose, having failed to score in the last four duels with the Reds…
5:57 p.m
The Reds are making a lot of changes compared to their recent draw against Arsenal FC, with coach Jürgen Klopp making five personnel changes. The young Quansah starts in central defense for Konaté, who initially has to sit on the bench. In addition, Tsimikas, who broke his collarbone in a fall and collision with Jürgen Klopp against the Gunners, is missing from the left-back position today and will be replaced by Gomez. In midfield, Jones and Szoboszlai are on the bench today, their places being taken by Gravenberch and Elliott. The offensive isn’t free of change either: on the left wing, Núñez moves into the starting line-up for Díaz.
5:44 p.m
The omens before the kick-off of this game were clarified quite quickly. The hosts, who are currently in second-to-last place in the table with a meager eleven points, are clear outsiders. However, Vincent Kompany’s team was able to score an important three-pointer at Fulham FC during the week, meaning the Clarets are now “only” five points away from safety. The Reds, on the other hand, could take the lead in the table with a win today before Arsenal have the chance to follow suit on Thursday. Jürgen Klopp’s team is now unbeaten in the league for eleven games, but recently had to be content with two draws against Manchester United and the Gunners. There is no question that three points are firmly planned for Kellerkind today.
5:29 p.m
Welcome to matchday 19 of the Premier League! The Clarets face Liverpool FC at Turf Moor. The game kicks off at 6:30 p.m.
