Liverpool team news: Hugo Ekitike leads the line as Reds take on Burnley
"As the Liverpool team news graphic above shows, it's Alisson in goal, and what looks like a back four of Virgil van Dijk, Ibrahima Konate, Milos Kerkez, and Jeremie Frimpong. In midfield, it's Ryan Gravenberch, Curtis Jones and Dominik Szoboszlai, and then Ekitike, Wirtz and Cody Gakpo as the front three. Liverpool fans will hope this team can produce a performance today as Slot's men are still not in the most convincing form despite their recent unbeaten run."
"Having Ekitike back should be a boost as it gives Liverpool more of an attacking threat than they were able to enjoy in their recent away game against Arsenal. The Frenchman has shone since joining the Reds from Eintracht Frankfurt in the summer, and he should be key for them again this afternoon. Wirtz is also starting to come into form, so the Germany international should be another key player up front for Liverpool against Burnley."
Alisson starts in goal with a back four of Virgil van Dijk, Ibrahima Konate, Milos Kerkez and Jeremie Frimpong. Ryan Gravenberch, Curtis Jones and Dominik Szoboszlai form midfield while Hugo Ekitike, Florian Wirtz and Cody Gakpo lead the attack. Liverpool remain unbeaten in their last eleven games in all competitions, though five of those results were draws, leaving form unconvincing despite the run. Ekitike's return adds an attacking threat absent at Arsenal, and Wirtz is coming into form. Burnley appear likely to be in a relegation battle and lost 1-0 at home to Liverpool earlier this season via a late Mohamed Salah penalty.
