Burnley vs Liverpool: What has been said?
Burnley manager Sean Dyche: “The start has been positive in performances, four points – with the games we have had – is a good return.
“The group that we’ve worked with has improved. The knowledge of the Premier League [has] as well but it doesn’t guarantee you anything.
“I feel we have moved forward and we are in the Premier League for the fourth season on the trot which is a good marker.”
Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp: “Turf Moor is a tough place to go. We have been there, hot, wind and rain and it is always difficult.
“Tough place. They do an incredible job, that is how it is.
“Everybody wrote about me and Sean Dyche not being best of friends after our last game, but we are proper competitors and we don’t hide our emotions. But it was completely respectful.
