29 minutes agoScott Parker's record against Liverpool
This will be Scott Parker’s first Premier League match against Liverpool since losing 9-0 with Bournemouth in August 2022.
But he has beaten Liverpool before, a 1-0 win in March 2021, and could become the second manager to beat both Jurgen Klopp and Arne Slot in the Premier League, along with Marco Silva.

Liverpool have had to rely on their considerable attacking options to bail them out of a couple of situations this season and Arne Slot knows they remain key to their success.
The defending champions have won all three of their fixtures so far but required late goals against Bournemouth and Newcastle after twice conceding two-goal leads, which pointed to defensive frailties.
Against Burnley, he will again need those resources up front against a team they will find hard to break down.
Liverpool have scored eight goals, the most in the top flight, without actually creating that many clear-cut chances and Slot was asked how he hoped to improve that.
"To implement as best as possible the way we want to play," he said.
"But in the end the final third it is also the form of your wingers mainly because of their playing style you end up more on the sides.
"The better they are, the bigger threat they are, the more chances we will generate and then nine out of 10 times it is about scoring.
"If you can score an early goal that normally helps you in a game like that.
"There are a lot of factors going into a game like this but as always we are hoping that our attackers make the difference and that is what they have to do every single game."
54 minutes agoNo Isak!
Alexander Isak’s absence is something of a surprise.
Slot said pre-match that he would have to build up gradually before being involved in a match, but it was expected that he would at least make the bench at Turf Moor.
He had played for Sweden in a 2-0 loss to Kosovo in the international break, making an 18-minute cameo in which he was booked and missed a brace of big chances.
