Liverpool: Craig Burley ‘FRUSTRATED’ by Mo Salah
Another fan tweeted: “Salah benched. I’m behind the sofa.”
“Almost certainly see Salah and Firmino brought on at half time to rescue a point,” another added.
Alisson, Joe Gomez, Virgil van Dijk and Xherdan Shaqiri are the only players to keep their place from Sunday’s win.
In come Joel Matip, Alberto Moreno, Jordan Henderson, James Milner, Naby Keita, Daniel Sturridge and Divock Origi.
The Belgian striker scored a memorable winner in the 96th minute against the Toffees on his first appearance in over a year.
Burnley currently sit in 19th position and are desperate for points to steer them away from danger.
Liverpool are five points adrift on leaders Manchester City.
A win tonight reduces the gap to two points.
