It’s a big game for…

Danny Ings: He is likely to make his first start under Klopp after missing out most of last season to injury, now going up against the club where he made a name for himself.

Best stat…

Burnley have scored only twice in their last ten encounters with Liverpool.

Remember when…

Burnley knocked Liverpool out of the 2005 FA Cup as underdogs with a comical own goal from Djimi Traore.

Player to watch…

Sadio Mane: Granted, Liverpool have had their fingers burnt when it comes to big money signings in the past. Mane however, who joined for a fee not much short of Andy Carroll (who was famously goal shy at Anfield), already showed his value with a special debut goal against Arsenal last week and fits neatly in to Klopp’s intense style of football.
