Liverpool return to Premier League action this weekend against Burnley. Arne Slot's squad currently sit fourth in the table, just three points clear of seventh-placed Manchester United. Coming off a 4-1 cup victory over Barnsley and boasting an unbeaten run in their last nine league games, Liverpool are in fine form. In contrast, Burnley find themselves languishing at the opposite end of the table, eight points adrift from safety in 19th position, despite a 5-1 cup triumph over Millwall.

The Reds emerged victorious in the previous encounter at Turf Moor in September, with Burnley reduced to 10 men after Lesley Ugochukwu was sent off for two bookings. A late penalty from Mohamed Salah sealed the win for Liverpool. This marked the sixth consecutive league victory for Liverpool over Burnley, who have managed to net just one goal across these matches. The Clarets' last triumph over the Reds came in January 2021 when Ashley Barnes scored the sole goal at Anfield.

The previous fixture was aired live on Sky Sports, as was Liverpool's most recent Premier League match against league leaders Arsenal. Here's everything you need to know ahead of the Liverpool vs Burnley clash.

When is Liverpool vs Burnley?

Liverpool vs Burnley is scheduled for Saturday, January 17 at 3pm. It's one of seven league matches taking place on Saturday, with other notable fixtures including the Manchester United vs Manchester City lunchtime kick-off and the Nottingham Forest vs Arsenal match at 5.30pm.

Unfortunately, the Liverpool vs Burnley match will not be broadcast on TV due to the longstanding 3pm blackout rule, which prevents any matches kicking off at this traditional time from being shown live on UK television.

However, highlights will be available shortly after the match concludes on both BBC Sport and Sky Sports. Extended highlights of all the day's Premier League action can be viewed on Match of the Day, airing on BBC One from 10.30pm.
