Follow live coverage as Burnley face Liverpool today in the Premier League. Another top-flight season will be covered in full right here with The Independent, as reigning champions Liverpool look to fend off competition from Arsenal, Manchester City and more.

The race for the Champions League places should also be a compelling battle, with a fifth place possible for English teams. Manchester United’s latest rebuild under Ruben Amorim sets expectations high once more after a dismal season last time out.

Meanwhile, it’s Burnley, Leeds United and Sunderland who made it back to the elite after promotion last year and each will have hope they can make it more than a one-year stay. Follow the latest live action from the Premier League below:

Burnley vs Liverpool

Incredible drama at the end as Salah’s 95th-minute penalty clinches a 1-0 victory over Burnley to send Liverpool back to the top of the Premier League table. Liverpool were far from their best today but they’ve managed to find yet another late goal to break Burnley hearts and continue their 100% winning record this season. Burnley's resistance was dismantled in the final moments as Parker and his players will be gutted! The hosts thought their plan had worked to perfection as their impressive defence had nullified Liverpool’s star-studded attack. However, at the end of the encounter, Mejbri blocked Frimpong’s cross with his arm and Salah dispatched the resulting penalty with scintillating composure. Liverpool dominated possession with 81% and accumulated a higher expected goals (xG) with 2.45 to Burnley’s 0.13. This result means Liverpool have overtaken Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur, reclaiming top spot in the league table, while Burnley remain 17th. In their next games, Liverpool’s attention turns to Europe, as they host Atletico Madrid in the Champions League, while Burnley will entertain Nottingham Forest at Turf Moor. We hope you’ve enjoyed this live text commentary! Thank you!

Burnley vs Liverpool

Parker has decided to make two changes to the Burnley side who suffered that gut-wrenching loss to Manchester United. Laurent and Tchaouna come in for Jacob Bruun Larsen and Hannibal. Striker Broja was recruited from Chelsea in the summer, and the 24-year-old is in the Burnley matchday squad for the first time in the top-flight, taking a place on the bench. The likes of Walker, Esteve, Ugochukwu, and Anthony all start for Burnley. Captain Cullen, who unfortunately scored an own goal in the Old Trafford defeat, begins in midfield.
