Overview

• Liverpool won 1-0 at Turf Moor with a 90+5 minute Mohamed Salah penalty awarded for Hannibal Mejbri’s handball.
• Burnley finished with 10 men after Lesley Ugochukwu received a second yellow card late in the match.
• Alexander Isak was not included in the matchday squad, with Slot reiterating plans to introduce him gradually on a long-term timeline.
• The champions made no changes from their Arsenal win, with Dominik Szoboszlai again at right-back and Jeremie Frimpong returning to the bench.
• The performance was laboured with few clear chances, but the result preserved Liverpool’s perfect league start at four wins before a midweek Champions League tie.
