Liverpool travel to Burnley this evening hoping to secure the win that will return them to the top of Premier League table.

Liverpool's Naby Keita will not be fully fit until after the international break because of a muscle strain while goalkeeper Alisson remains sidelined.

Burnley boss Sean Dyche says Johann Berg Gudmundsson's calf injury is not as bad as first feared but he is highly unlikely to feature later today. Follow LIVE coverage of the match below:

Burnley 0 - 3 Liverpool

90+3 mins: That's the whistle! Liverpool move back to the top of the Premier League with a convincing win over Burnley.

The scoreline is perhaps favourable to Liverpool as the Clarets played well, especially in the first half where a deflection and a mistake gave the Reds the lead.

Liverpool break their own club record with 13 successive wins in a row.
