Liverpool return to Premier League action on Sunday looking to preserve their flawless domestic start when they visit Scott Parker’s Burnley at Turf Moor. A single point will be enough for the champions to reclaim top spot from Arsenal, who briefly moved ahead with a convincing 3-0 win over Nottingham Forest.
Arne Slot’s side went into the international break leading the table after a hard-fought 1-0 victory against the Gunners. Having won all three of their opening fixtures, Liverpool are chasing a fourth successive triumph, while newly promoted Burnley will aim to recover from their heartbreaking 3-2 defeat to Manchester United.
Guehi Responds to Transfer Drama
One of the main talking points before the weekend has been Marc Guehi’s situation. The Crystal Palace defender had been on the verge of joining Liverpool in a £35 million deal before the move collapsed on deadline day. Guehi was granted permission to undergo a medical with the Reds, but Palace chairman Steve Parish ultimately pulled the plug at the final moment.
Despite the frustration of seeing a dream transfer to Anfield blocked, Guehi showed no signs of discontent when he returned to action for Palace in their first match since the saga. The centre-back featured against Sunderland, handling the situation with professionalism and without any public hints of ill feeling.
