Yesterday’s results worked in Burnley’s favor as Norwich and Watford were beaten by Manchester City and Brighton respectively.
The Clarets remain four points from safety as they enter today’s game against Liverpool, but Newcastle United’s victory over Aston Villa today could increase the gap to seven points.
The last time Sean Dyche’s side avoided defeat against the Reds at Turf Moor was in August 2016 when Sam Vokes and Andre Gray handed them a 2-0 win.
Today’s game will start at 2 p.m.
Here are the best of today’s transfer rumours…
