Follow live coverage as Burnley face Liverpool today in the Premier League. Another top-flight season will be covered in full right here with The Independent, as reigning champions Liverpool look to fend off competition from Arsenal, Manchester City and more.
The race for the Champions League places should also be a compelling battle, with a fifth place possible for English teams. Manchester United’s latest rebuild under Ruben Amorim sets expectations high once more after a dismal season last time out.
Meanwhile, it’s Burnley, Leeds United and Sunderland who made it back to the elite after promotion last year and each will have hope they can make it more than a one-year stay. Follow the latest live action from the Premier League below:
Burnley FC 0 - 0 Liverpool FC
Burnley vs Liverpool
14:50
Again, Liverpool come forward but the move breaks down as Wirtz can't find Ekitike... Burnley will be the happier of the two sides so far!
Burnley vs Liverpool
14:48
The referee has indicated that there will be three minutes of added time as Mac Allister's cross is well overhit.
Burnley vs Liverpool
14:45
The decision to take off Kerkez after that yellow indicates that Slot is not willing to take risks and isn't underestimating Burnley. What impact will Robertson have this afternoon?
Burnley vs Liverpool
14:43
EKITIKE GOES CLOSE! Some delightful footwork takes the Liverpool forward away from Laurent, but from a tight angle, he can't squeeze his attempt into the bottom corner or find a teammate.
Burnley vs Liverpool
14:42
ROBERTSON GETS A SHOT ON TARGET! The Liverpool substitute travels into the penalty area and shoots, but his tame effort is easily saved by Dubravka.
Burnley vs Liverpool
14:40
After that earlier yellow card, Slot makes an early change, and Kerkez is replaced by Robertson.
Burnley vs Liverpool
14:40
Liverpool won the last Premier League meeting between the teams, coming out on top 3-1 at Anfield in February 2024. No goals today so far with 37 minutes played.
Burnley vs Liverpool
14:37
The crowd ironically cheers as Burnley win two fouls in quick succession. Hartman's deep delivery picks out Ekdal, but he can't make a meaningful connection.
Burnley vs Liverpool
14:33
Szoboszlai, playing at right back again today, has been one of Liverpool's best players so far this season and looks extremely comfortable in the defence. Van Dijk shows trademark composure to win a free-kick with Foster running at him with pace.
Burnley vs Liverpool
14:31
Parker has got his team so well drilled! Foster works tremendously hard to win possession and gets a throw-in. Liverpool have been unable to get Ekitike, Salah, or Wirtz into the game just yet.
Burnley vs Liverpool
14:28
Burnley have been resolute so far! Esteve tracks Salah brilliantly, seeing the ball out for a goal kick. Parker will be delighted with his side's organisation so far.
Burnley vs Liverpool
14:26
Salah will be feeling confident today. The 33-year-old has only scored more Premier League goals against David de Gea (9) and Illan Meslier (9) than Burnley goalkeeper Dubravka (8).
Burnley vs Liverpool
14:24
Kerkez goes into the book for simulation in the penalty area when under pressure from Laurent. A very foolish yellow card...
Burnley vs Liverpool
14:24
It's been a close contest so far. Unsurprisingly, Burnley are perfectly content with sitting deep and soaking up pressure. Wirtz gets the ball on the edge of the area, but his effort is smothered by Esteve.
Burnley vs Liverpool
14:22
Liverpool head to Turf Moor with a proud record, having scored in 37 consecutive Premier League matches, their longest run in top-flight history. Only Tottenham (39 in a row, March 2023 – March 2024) and Arsenal (55, May 2001 – November 2002) have scored in more successive Premier League outings.
Burnley vs Liverpool
14:20
Paul Tierney is on VAR today and has quickly checked the decision, agreeing with referee Michael Oliver's on-field decision. Slot is unhappy with the challenge and Mac Allister is now slowly getting to his feet. Play resumes with Liverpool on the ball.
Burnley vs Liverpool
14:18
Ugochukwu receives the first yellow card of the game for a robust challenge on Mac Allister, who is down and getting treatment.
Burnley vs Liverpool
14:18
Gakpo and Mac Allister both deliver searching crosses into the box, but neither of them finds a Liverpool player. The Reds have managed over 80% possession so far, but are waiting for a shot on target.
Burnley vs Liverpool
14:16
Burnley are unbeaten in their last 24 league home games (W15 D9) since 2024 – it's the club’s longest unbeaten home league run since 1920! However, they are underdogs today!
Burnley vs Liverpool
14:14
HUGE OPPORTUNITY FOR LIVERPOOL! Konate should do better! Gakpo's corner finds the French defender, who can't direct his header on target from close range!
Burnley vs Liverpool
14:12
Gakpo's dangerous cross is excellently defended by Ekdal. Konate is then fouled on the halfway line. A close opening ten minutes so far.
Burnley vs Liverpool
14:09
This is Burnley manager Parker’s first Premier League match against Liverpool since losing 9-0 with Bournemouth back in August 2022. However, he has beaten the Reds before, with a 1-0 win in March 2021, and could become the second coach to beat both Jurgen Klopp and Slot in the Premier League, along with Marco Silva.
Burnley vs Liverpool
14:10
EARLY CHANCE FOR BURNLEY! Van Dijk carelessly gives the ball away, and Tchaouna feeds Anthony, whose powerful strike is off target. Positive play from the hosts!
Burnley vs Liverpool
14:07
Lots of early Liverpool possession. Often in the opening five minutes, Burnley have had all eleven players behind the ball. Gakpo cuts inside from the left and unleashes a ferocious shot, but it flashes well wide.
Burnley vs Liverpool
14:05
Salah is making his 305th Premier League appearance today, moving him joint-second among all African players in the competition (level with Wilfried Zaha and Jordan Ayew), behind only Kolo Toure (353).
Burnley vs Liverpool
14:04
Out of possession, it appears that Burnley are lining up in a 5-4-1 formation, with Laurent slotting in at right centre-back, pushing Walker out wide to right wing-back.
Burnley vs Liverpool
14:03
Liverpool get us underway this afternoon!
Burnley vs Liverpool
14:02
The players are walking out onto the Turf Moor pitch for their fourth match of the 2025-26 Premier League season!
Burnley vs Liverpool
13:57
Slot has named an unchanged line-up from the Arsenal game, with Szoboszlai continuing at right-back. Frimpong returns from injury and is among the substitutes. Isak is the player on everybody’s lips, but the British transfer record signing is not in the Liverpool squad as he makes his way back to full fitness. In an attempt to force a move away from Newcastle, the striker endured a heavily disrupted pre-season and only registered his first minutes of the campaign in the recent international break, coming on as a second-half substitute in Sweden’s 2-0 loss to Kosovo. Therefore, Ekitike continues to lead the line for Liverpool. Before the game, Slot confirmed that midfielder Curtis Jones won’t feature after sustaining a groin problem in the previous clash with Arsenal.
Burnley vs Liverpool
13:53
Parker has decided to make two changes to the Burnley side who suffered that gut-wrenching loss to Manchester United. Laurent and Tchaouna come in for Jacob Bruun Larsen and Mejbri. Striker Broja was recruited from Chelsea in the summer, and the 24-year-old is in the Burnley matchday squad for the first time in the top-flight, taking a place on the bench. The likes of Walker, Esteve, Ugochukwu, and Anthony all start for Burnley. Captain Cullen, who unfortunately scored an own goal in the Old Trafford defeat, begins in midfield.
Burnley vs Liverpool
13:52
LIVERPOOL SUBS: Joe Gomez, Wataru Endo, Conor Bradley, Federico Chiesa, Giorgi Mamardashvili, Andy Robertson, Jeremie Frimpong, Trey Nyoni, Rio Ngumoha.
Burnley vs Liverpool
13:47
LIVERPOOL XI (4-2-3-1): Alisson Becker; Milos Kerkez, Virgil van Dijk, Ibrahima Konate, Dominik Szoboszlai; Alexis Mac Allister, Ryan Gravenberch; Cody Gakpo, Florian Wirtz, Mohamed Salah; Hugo Ekitike.
Burnley vs Liverpool
13:47
BURNLEY SUBS: Joe Worrall, Marcus Edwards, Bashir Humphreys, Max Weiss, Florentino, Zian Flemming, Lucas Pires, Armando Broja, Hannibal Mejbri.
Burnley vs Liverpool
13:42
BURNLEY XI (4-2-3-1): Martin Dubravka; Quilindschy Hartman, Maxime Esteve, Hjalmar Ekdal, Kyle Walker; Lesley Ugochukwu, Josh Cullen; Jaidon Anthony, Josh Laurent, Loum Tchaouna; Lyle Foster.
Burnley vs Liverpool
13:41
Liverpool will be the overwhelming favourites for this clash. Despite an unconvincing start, Arne Slot’s men head to Lancashire with a 100% winning record this season thanks to victories over Bournemouth, Newcastle United, and Arsenal. In their last match, at home to the title-chasing Gunners, Dominik Szoboszlai scored an extraordinary free-kick to seal the three points for Slot’s red juggernaut. Other results this weekend mean that Liverpool are currently third, behind Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur, but just a point today would take the Merseysiders to the top of the table. The Reds are aiming to win their opening four Premier League matches in a season for a third time, which they also did in 2018-19 (finished 2nd) and 2019-20 (won the title).
Burnley vs Liverpool
13:36
Ahead of kick-off, Burnley reside just outside the relegation zone in 17th position with a record of one win and two losses in the opening Premier League games. In their previous outing, Burnley lost 3-2 to Manchester United at Old Trafford, with Bruno Fernandes netting a 97th-minute penalty. Nevertheless, Scott Parker’s side have won both fixtures at home in the 2025-26 season, defeating Sunderland 2-0 in the league and Derby County 2-1 in the EFL Cup, but Liverpool pose a different level of quality and threat. Burnley don’t have a promising history in this fixture, having lost 14 of their 18 Premier League matches against Liverpool (W2 D2), including each of their last five in a row since a 1-0 win at Anfield in January 2021. The odds are stacked against the Clarets, but can they cause an upset this afternoon?
