Liverpool vs. Burnley preview, kickoff time and team news

Kickoff time, broadcast details and preview

Liverpool host Burnley at Anfield on Saturday, January 17, with kickoff scheduled for 3.00 pm GMT.

While there is no live television broadcast in the UK due to the 3 pm blackout, full coverage, highlights, and commentary will be available through official club channels and Premier League media partners after full-time.

Fans outside the UK can watch live through international broadcasters. In the United States, coverage will be available on Peacock, while viewers in Canada can stream the match on FuboTV.

Several other regional networks, including Star Sports in Asia and Optus Sport in Australia, will also carry the fixture.

The match promises contrasting approaches. Liverpool will look to control possession and press high, while Burnley will rely on structure and counter-attacks to disrupt their rhythm.

The Reds enter as favourites, yet Burnley’s recent performances suggest they are not arriving to simply defend deep.

Burnley battle to avoid further drop-zone pressure

Liverpool’s squad remains stretched by injuries, with right-back Conor Bradley ruled out for the remainder of the season following a serious knee issue.

The Reds are also continuing to monitor several players for minor fitness issues after a busy winter fixture run.

Vincent Kompany’s Burnley are still searching for stability, with defensive lapses costing them crucial points. The Clarets remain confident in their structure, but injuries and limited depth have complicated their fight for survival.

Kompany’s focus will be on maintaining compactness and seizing chances on the break, particularly through players like Lyle Foster and Wilson Odobert.

As both clubs prepare for a defining phase of the season, this fixture represents more than three points. For Liverpool, it is a chance to stay on course near the top. For Burnley, it is another opportunity to prove they belong in the league’s elite company.
