Two clubs in opposite halves of the Premier League table will do battle today in a league match between Burnley and Liverpool. The first-division clash scheduled for 10 a.m. ET will be held at Turf Moor Stadium in Burnley and can be live streamed here free.
What They're Saying
Burnley manager Sean Dyche (via 90min): "The super elite players now are not £20 and £30 million and £100k-a-week wages. They are beyond that now. They cost £60, £70, £80, £90 million and £250k-a-week. Are Liverpool ready for that? I don't know. Do they want to do that? I don't know. But they are still a very talented team."
Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers (via BBC): "If there is a possibility that we can strengthen in January, we will look at that. There will always be speculation, but I won't comment on any players."
Tactical Preview
Player to Watch: With a congested schedule ahead, Rodgers must turn to Mario Balotelli for rotation. The controversial striker is yet to open his Premier League account in 2014, this despite 730 minutes of play.
Burnley's Projected Lineup (4-4-1-1): Heaton; Mee, Shakell, Keane, Trippier; Arfield, Jones, Marney, Boyd; Barnes; Ings
Liverpool's Projected Lineup (3-4-2-1): Jones; Sakho, Skrtel, Toure; Markovic, Leiva, Can, Henderson; Coutinho, Lallana; Balotelli
