Alisson Becker and Joe Gomez are not in Liverpool's match-day squad against Burnley.

Alisson Becker and Joe Gomez are absent for Liverpool's clash against Burnley.

Both players miss out because of illness after Jurgen Klopp admitted there was a flue outbreak in the squad speaking at his pre-match press conference.

It means that Caoimhin Kelleher replaces Alisson in goal while Andy Robertson makes his first start for the Reds since recovering from a shoulder injury.
