Can Liverpool get back to winning ways?

Liverpool suffered their first Premier League defeat of the season last week when they were hammered 5-0 at Manchester City with live coverage of this game brought to you by Sky Sports. To make matters worse for Jurgen Klopp, Sadio Mane was sent off and will now miss the next three domestic games.

The Reds followed up that defeat to City with a 2-2 draw against Sevilla in the Champions League, a game they really should have won but their defensive deficiencies were shown up yet again. Philippe Coutinho could make his first start of the season after coming off the bench against Sevilla on Wednesday.

The last time we featured Burnley and their Republic of Ireland contingent on the show, the Clarets beat champions Chelsea 3-2 at Stamford Bridge on our first show of the season. Stephen Ward scored a cracking goal in that win and it was only last season we covered Burnley's 2-0 win over Liverpool at Turf Moor.

Jeff Hendrick has returned to training after a thigh injury and could be involved but goalkeeper Tom Heaton will be out of action for a few months after undergoing surgery on a dislocated shoulder.

Sean Dyche's side stayed in the top flight last season because of their home form but they also caused Liverpool problems at Anfield earlier this year so the Reds will be well aware of what to expect at 3.00 on Saturday afternoon.

Ian Beach and Gary Breen will be in the commentary box for us on Premier League Live with Sky Sports which gets underway at 2.00 on Today FM.

Mark Lawrenson will join us as always in the first hour to preview the action and look back on the European games earlier in the week.

This week's guest in the " Boot Room " will be a man very familiar to listeners of the show, Brian Kerr. Twenty years on from a third placed finish at the FIFA World Youth Championship in Malaysia, Brian will talk about an incredible two weeks for him and his young squad.

Premier League Live with Sky Sports from 2-6pm on Today FM this Saturday.
