One of the Big Four club in EPL, the Reds have some most talented footballer in their current squad. Though, it will be a Premier League competition, so, they must field their best squad. Loris Karius is their regular stopper where the captain is Jordan Henderson. This summer, their coach Klopp has bought four players excluding two free transfer. Sadio Mane is one of them and will be played in next match. Brazilian Coutinho would probably be the leader of midfield.
Though, Burnley is also an English club and regular opponent in Premier league but they do not possess many famous players but only few. This season, they have bought Jon Flanagan from Liverpool for a long loan. Their team is lead by Tom Heaton who is the current goalkeeper of the Clarets.
