Liverpool have asked Burnley to switch their Premier League fixture scheduled for August 20 to Turf Moor from Anfield, according to Sky sources.

The match will, however, go ahead at Anfield with full capacity if the Clarets reject the offer.

Construction work has been taking place on the Main Stand at Anfield and although the club are confident the renovations will be completed in time, a switch will give them additional time to sign off any final issues if required.
