Liverpool team news
Liverpool fans were ecstatic to see Virgil Van Dijk and Joel Matip healthy enough to feature in the opening game. Now the wait is for the likes of Fabinho, Thiago Alcantara, Jordan Henderson and others to join them. The former came on as a sub against Norwich, so he may be close to being inserted into the lineup. The latter two may not appear just yet, though it is possible.
Curtis Jones is expected to be healthy enough to make the bench but Andy Robertson will remain out.
Burnley team news
Burnley could get defender Kevin Long and midfielders Dale Stephens back after the two missed the opener. The big question is whether defender Nathan Collins will feature after completing his move from Stoke.
