Jürgen Klopp explains LFC team selection v Burnley

Jürgen Klopp has explained the decision to make four changes to Liverpool’s starting line-up for this afternoon’s encounter with Burnley at Anfield.

The champions hand Curtis Jones a first Premier League start, while there are also returns for Fabinho, Andy Robertson and Sadio Mane.

Elsewhere, James Milner misses out as a precaution due to a slight muscle issue, but Dejan Lovren and Xherdan Shaqiri return to the squad.

“Yeah, I would estimate that!” Klopp smiled, when asked by Liverpoolfc.com’s new Match Centre if it would represent a big moment for Jones being handed a maiden top-flight start.
