Good afternoon and welcome to Eurosport's LIVE text commentary of the Premier League clash between Liverpool and Burnley. Jurgen Klopp's side were humiliated last weekend when they were thrashed 5-0 by Manchester City and followed that up with a home 2-2 draw with Sevilla in Europe on Wednesday night. Can the Reds get back to winning ways today?

OFF THE CROSSBAR!
Oh my, Liverpool are denied by the woodwork! Salah appears to be fouled inside the box by Mee but play continues and the loose ball is picked up by Alexander-Arnold who tees up Solanke but the forward strikes the crossbar from four yards out.

GREAT SAVE!
It's just not going to be Liverpool's day, is it? Milner drives to the by-line, sending a cross to the back post where Alexander-Arnold unloads but Pope is down quickly to make the save, gathering it on the second attempt.

SAVE!
And Mee meets the subsequent corner too, this time heading straight at Mignolet.

OFF THE LINE!
Liverpool's vulnerabilities at the back almost exposed as Mee rises highest to meet a corner delivery, but sees his header cleared off the line by Alexander-Arnold!
79'
DOUBLE LIVERPOOL SUB
Coutinho's and Firmino off, Oxlade-Chamberlain and Solanke are on.
77'
Coutinho gets his angles all wrong as he sends his shot from 25 yards into row-Z.
76'
Exactly what Liverpool need.
75'
Milner feeds Coutinho from a short corner. No one can get on the end of the Brazilian's cross, but his compatriot Firmino keeps it in play on the opposite side. However, he runs the ball out of play.
74'
Proof of Salah's equalising goal. Feels like a long time ago now.

72'
And STILL no changes from Klopp. There's plenty of nail-biting going on amongst the home supporters at the moment.
71'
The visitors only partially clear from the corner. Milner comes forward and swings a cross in from the by-line but it's a desperately poor headed effort from Can as he fails to find the target from a few yards out.
70'
Burnley's man of the match thus far, gets a cross to make a vital last-ditch tackle to force the ball off Coutinho. Liverpool have a corner to follow.
68'
Burnley can't get out of their half at the moment and Dyche is relieved when Alexander-Arnold over-hits his cross. It's rather subdued in Anfield at the moment as the Reds continue to struggle to find a break-through.
66'
Surely it's only a matter of time before Klopp makes a change. He has Wijnaldum, Oxlade-Chamberlain and Solanke on the bench.
