Liverpool are gearing up for their return to Premier League action following the international break. Most of Arne Slot’s squad were off representing their countries last weekend but now they’re back on Merseyside to resume their title defence, which has got off to a successful start

Burnley are the Reds’ next opponents, still reeling from their devastating 3-2 loss away to Manchester United. Scott Parker’s newly-promoted team paid the price for conceding a 97th-minute penalty, having come from behind twice at Old Trafford and gotten agonisingly close to earning a draw.

Liverpool will be wary that Burnley did manage to topple fast-starters Sunderland in their only home game so far in the league, while the Clarets also beat Derby County at Turf Moor in the Carabao Cup. Slot has never faced Burnley, so he’ll be glad to have an extra strong squad thanks to the arrival of Alexander Isak on transfer deadline day and two stars who’ve returned from injury.

Here’s a round-up of the latest news from Anfield.
