Burnley will check on the fitness of several players but boss Sean Dyche is unlikely to take risks with those returning from the treatment room.

Chris Wood (hamstring), Robbie Brady (Achilles) and Josh Brownhill (foot) will all be monitored but Dyche warned: "We're having to be careful to make decisions for players like Woody and looking at the bigger picture".

Dyche has also revealed that Jack Cork is a doubt with an unspecified knock.

Alisson may have had cold feet in the 4-1 defeat by Manchester City on Super Sunday, but are Liverpool's excuses running thin? And has their decision-making off the pitch been poor this season?

Jasper Taylor is joined by Gerard Brand and Ben Ransom to talk through the latest round of Premier League fixtures, as Manchester City put one hand on the trophy with a thumping win at Anfield. Would this be Pep Guardiola's best title?

After Thomas Tuchel's Chelsea won for the third straight game, we asses how the German has changed the side's structure, as well as some praise for the underrated Mason Mount.
