Liverpool enter the weekend sitting sixth and outside the Champions League places, regardless of whether England earns an additional qualification spot, while Manchester City are under mounting pressure to keep pace with Arsenal in a title race that appears to be slipping further out of reach. Both teams will approach this clash knowing that anything less than three points could prove damaging.

Ben Jacobs has dismissed speculation surrounding Liverpool enquiring for Inter Milan's Denzel Dumfries following the recent injury to Jeremie Frimpong. Despite reports from Italy suggesting the Reds had made contact with the Nerazzurri, it appears Anfield officials may not be pursuing a deal for the Dutch wing-back as the January transfer window enters its final hours. The rumors gained traction after Liverpool's defensive depth was pushed to the breaking point,

It will be interesting to see if Real Madrid is willing to sanction his departure. The 25-year-old has done well for the La Liga outfit since joining them, but a move to the Premier League could be exciting for the French international. He has the physicality and technical attributes for Premier League football, and he could be a key player for Liverpool and Tottenham.

Yeah, frustrating, of course, because conceding a goal is always frustrating, but especially if there's no time left to come back into the game. But I think it's safe to say that they could have scored the [third goal to make it] 3-2 also a little bit earlier. What I mean with that, I think after we scored the 2-2, a few players of ours ran out of energy and I cannot even criticise them for that.

In my head it wasn't booing but in my head it was frustration as well,

Arne Slot had made his wishes clear before kick-off. We want to do better in making more chances from all the ball possession we have. I am waiting for the moment it really clicks, he had said. Thirty two shots on goal with 11 on target would suggest Liverpool obliged against Burnley, but Anfield still waits for Slot's side to click.

As the Liverpool team news graphic above shows, it's Alisson in goal, and what looks like a back four of Virgil van Dijk, Ibrahima Konate, Milos Kerkez, and Jeremie Frimpong. In midfield, it's Ryan Gravenberch, Curtis Jones and Dominik Szoboszlai, and then Ekitike, Wirtz and Cody Gakpo as the front three. Liverpool fans will hope this team can produce a performance today as Slot's men are still not in the most convincing form despite their recent unbeaten run.

"The answer to the riddle is that Luis Díaz was the best attacker last season. Salah may have broken all the records, but Díaz was persistent in attack, pressed hard, scored goals, and created chances, right? The sale has severely weakened the club," Sturridge said (as captured by Sport Bild). Díaz has been a revelation at Bayern Munich and a near-perfect fit for what the Bavarians' attack needed.

Semenyo has been heavily linked with a move to the Etihad Stadium for several weeks, with reports suggesting that Man City have already made significant progress, not only in negotiations with Bournemouth, but also in discussions with the player himself. Multiple outlets have claimed that Semenyo has informed Bournemouth of his desire to join City, driven primarily by the opportunity to work under Pep Guardiola, a manager renowned for improving attacking talent.

I'm very happy and very excited, I'm looking forward to it. It's been a dream I've had to play in this league and this is a really big club so I'm really happy.
