The reigning champions sit top of the table after three matches and are strong favourites to extend their perfect run against newly promoted opposition.
It will be exactly a year since the Reds last failed to score in a league game, when they suffered a 1-0 defeat to Nottingham Forest at Anfield.
However, Arne Slot’s side have shown some vulnerability away from home, losing four of their last six on the road.
That record will give Burnley encouragement, especially with their impressive home form, a driving force behind promotion last season.
The Clarets are unbeaten at Turf Moor since the final day of the 2023/24 campaign.
Liverpool made headlines this summer by smashing the British transfer record to sign Alexander Isak from Newcastle United.
The 25-year-old is yet to make his debut and could remain on the bench, though Slot is expected to unleash him sooner rather than later.
According to Liverpool Echo, Curtis Jones was among the few players present at the AXA Training Centre on Tuesday, as Liverpool’s non-international contingent began preparations for the Premier League’s return this weekend.
Left out of Thomas Tuchel’s first England squad, Jones trained at Kirkby on Tuesday.
The 24-year-old made an impact off the bench in last weekend’s 1-0 win over Arsenal and will hope to be recalled to the starting XI.
With Alexis Mac Allister, Dominik Szoboszlai, Florian Wirtz, and Ryan Gravenberch all away on international duty, Jones has benefited from a full week of uninterrupted training at the AXA Training Centre.
