Video, 00:08:36, published at 19:58 BST 14 SeptemberSalah scores dramatic late penalty to beat BurnleyAttributionPremier League8:36'Forget Fergie time - now it's Arne Time'published at 19:33 BST 14 September19:33 BST 14 SeptemberPhil McNultyChief football writerImage source, Getty ImagesWhat was once "Fergie Time" is now "Arne Time".It was a phrase used to describe the uncanny habit Sir Alex Ferguson's all-conquering Manchester United side had of breaking opponents' hearts with late, late shows.As in the prime "Fergie Time" days, there is now an audible groan from opposing fans when the board goes up for added time when Liverpool are seeking a winner.It happened when "11" went up with the score 2-2 at St James' Park against Newcastle. It was the same at Burnley when "5" flashed up beneath The Bob Lord Stand.It all adds to the opposition's anxiety and Liverpool's power.As the game ticks towards its conclusion, Liverpool are now inside opponents' heads, striking fear that a late goal is coming. This result was so cruel on Burnley, but no-one is safe, no points are taken against Liverpool, until the final whistle has sounded.In their own dramatic way, Liverpool are actually carrying out Slot's instructions from last season.He said in January: "One of the things I would like us to do better in the second half of the season than the first half, although it wasn't necessary that many times, is to make a late goal winner."Hopefully we don't come to these situations a lot but we definitely, if we are coming in those situations, have one, two or three times a moment where we do score in the last minute of the game when we deserve it."Slot said after those demands had been satisfied once more at Turf Moor: "Compliments to Burnley for the way they defended. It was difficult for us to find an opening and a few times we were close."If we had scored, the game may have been open, but because we didn't they did the same thing. We had to wait until the end phase of the second half and in the final stages we got what were hoping for."There is a chance it will fall in the way you want, but it was difficult because they had players behind the ball. We needed a moment of luck, or a moment of magic."We didn't have the magic but we had the luck. You are hoping and trying to make it more difficult, but they were strong."The fact Liverpool have needed late goals in their first four Premier League wins illustrates that they have not yet been near their best this season – a frightening prospect for those hoping to take their crown off them, and with ￡125m striker Alexander Isak waiting in the wings.Read more on 'Arne time'Hear from Slot: "We were lucky to score in the end"ShareAnalysis: Liverpool leave it late againpublished at 16:49 BST 14 September16:49 BST 14 SeptemberPhil McNultyChief football writerImage source, Getty ImagesLiverpool's strong start to the Premier League season has been built on late winners and here was another, Burnley having been seconds away from what would have been a superb result.The champions scored in the 88th minute and then in the fourth minute of stoppage time to beat Bournemouth in their opening game at Anfield. Teenager Rio Ngumoha scored a 100th-minute winner at Newcastle United.Dominic Szoboszlai's decisive free-kick against Arsenal came seven minutes from time, while Mohamed Salah did the trick at Turf Moor.It reflects the fact that Liverpool have not been at their best, despite recording four straight wins, but also illustrates the steel that runs through this side along with the skill.And there is also the psychological impact of Liverpool's relentless approach, perhaps resulting in Hannibal's needless handball that took away a precious point from Burnley.Liverpool can now start their Champions League campaign against Atletico Madrid at Anfield on Wednesday on the back of another domestic victory, with Arne Slot revealing Alexander Isak will be involved against the Spanish side.ShareBurnley 0-1 Liverpool: What Slot saidpublished at 16:48 BST 14 September16:48 BST 14 SeptemberTo play this video you need to enable JavaScript in your browser.This video can not be playedMedia caption, Liverpool boss Arne Slot spoke to BBC Match of the Day after his side's late victory over Burnley: "Compliments to Burnley for the way they defended. It was difficult for us to find an opening and a few times we were close. "If we had scored, the game may have been open but because we didn't, they did the same thing. We had to wait until the end phase of the second half and in the final stages we got what were hoping for."There is a chance it will fall in the way you want but it was difficult because they had players behind the ball. We needed a moment of luck, or a moment of magic. We didn't have the magic but we had the luck. You are hoping and trying to make it more difficult but they were strong."Mo Salah for as long as he has been at Liverpool has been good for us. It was a great moment for us because I think he missed the last two."On his decision to replace Milos Kerkez with Andy Robertson in the 38th minute: "It was because he got a yellow card. I think the fans here thought a chance for them to win the game is if we ended up with a second yellow."With Milos I can never be 100% he doesn't make the next foul, then the fans are on top of the referee. I thought the only way we could lose it today was if we went down to 10 men."On his decision not to include new striker Alexander Isak in the matchday squad: "You make a choice for a good reason, for a good argument. That choice was because he missed out for four months on team training."He's in his second or third week of pre-season. We have given him a proper week and then we think maybe he will get more than 10 or 15 minutes in our Wednesday game and that's the way to build him up. "He needs proper playing time but also build him up so he has a good base."Did you know?Liverpool are the first side in Premier League history to win four consecutive matches thanks to a winning goal scored in the final 10 minutes or late with the Reds having now scored 47 winning goals in that time frame - at least 13 more than any other side (Arsenal – 34). Mohamed Salah has now scored 188 goals in the Premier League but that penalty was his first winning goal scored in the 90th+ minute.The Egyptian's winner has moved him ahead of Andrew Cole (187) into outright fourth in the top goalscorers chart (Wayne Rooney third on 208).Share16:45 BST 14 SeptemberSalah scores stoppage-time penalty as Liverpool inch to win at Burnley , published at 16:45 BST 14 SeptemberSalah scores stoppage-time penalty as Liverpool inch to win at Burnley AttributionPremier LeagueComments2092Burnley 0-1 Liverpool - send us your thoughtspublished at 15:57 BST 14 September15:57 BST 14 SeptemberWhether you were at the game or following from elsewhere, we want to know what you learned.Have your say on Burnley's performanceWhat did you make of Liverpool's display?Come back on Monday for a selection of your repliesShareBurnley v Liverpool: Team news published at 12:56 BST 14 September12:56 BST 14 SeptemberThere's two changes for Burnley from the team who lost to Manchester United before the international break, as Loum Tchaouna and Josh Laurent both come into the starting XI.Burnley XI: Dubravka, Walker, Hartman, Esteve, Ugochukwu, Foster, Anthony, Tchaouna, Ekdal, Cullen, Laurent.Subs: Weiss, Worrall, Edwards, Humphreys, Florentino, Flemming, Pires, Broja, Hannibal.Liverpool, meanwhile are unchanged from the win against Arsenal.Jeremie Frimpong returns from injury and is on the bench but record signing Alexander Isak is not involved at all.Liverpool XI: Alisson, Van Dijk, Konate, Kerkez, Wirtz, Szoboszlai, Mac Allister, Salah, Gakpo, Ekitike, Gravenberch.Subs: Mamardashvili, Gomez, Endo, Bradley, Chiesa, Robertson, Frimpong, Nyoni, Ngumoha.ShareFollow Sunday's Premier League games livepublished at 12:43 BST 14 September12:43 BST 14 SeptemberThere are two games in the Premier League on Sunday and BBC Sport will bring you every moment.Burnley v Liverpool (14:00) - listen on BBC Radio 5 LiveMan City v Man Utd (16:30) - listen on BBC Radio 5 LiveKick-off times BSTFollow and listen to Burnley v Liverpool hereAnd Man City v Man Utd is hereYou can also listen to today's 5 Live Premier League commentaries on most smart speakers.

I will answer that straightaway - no, so don't get him in your fantasy teams just yet.Isak will be brought off the bench for his Reds debut at some point, but I don't think it will be a case where Liverpool will need him to change the game.Burnley will be looking to keep them quiet and also carry a threat. They gave Manchester United a good game last time out, but stopping Liverpool is a much bigger test.Arne Slot's side have not really got going yet this season, but they are still top and have won three out of three league games.That is a great sign for them, and ominous for their rivals - I always felt when I was a player that if we won without playing well, you knew there is more to come.It is the same with Liverpool at the moment.Sutton's prediction: 0-3Read the full predictions and have your say hereShareBurnley v Liverpool: Key stats and talking pointspublished at 11:57 BST 13 September11:57 BST 13 SeptemberJordan ButlerBBC Sport journalistChampions Liverpool will aim to continue their perfect start to the new campaign as they travel to Burnley. BBC Sport explores some of the talking points around this fixture.If Burnley are to survive this season then home form is likely to be a key reason.Scott Parker's side were unbeaten at Turf Moor last term and their two victories so far this season have both come on home soil – 2-0 in the league against Sunderland and 2-1 in the League Cup versus Derby.It has been more than 15 months since they last tasted defeat at their Lancastrian stronghold and only Birmingham City are enjoying a longer unbeaten home run in England's top four tiers.This game represents something of a free hit for Burnley, who have lost 10 of their past 11 games when facing defending Premier League champions. However, the exception in that run was a 1-0 victory over Liverpool in January 2021 at Anfield. Current player Ashley Barnes scored a penalty that day to end Liverpool's own unbeaten home streak of 68 games.Turf Moor is not somewhere Liverpool usually struggle. They have won eight of their nine Premier League matches at Burnley, including the past six in a row. The champions will expect to extend that run to reach seven come Sunday evening as they look to maintain their perfect start.All eyes will be on Alexander Isak after his ￡125m move to the Reds on transfer deadline day. However, the Swede has played just 18 minutes of football over the past three and a half months and is unlikely to start this weekend.While Liverpool will want Isak up to speed quickly, they have hardly struggled to find the net prior to his arrival. Arne Slot's side have scored in a club record 37 consecutive top-flight matches since a 1-0 home defeat by Nottingham Forest a year ago – the third-best run in Premier League history.Listen to Burnley v Liverpool on BBC Radio 5 Live and BBC Sounds on SundayYou can also listen to 5 Live Premier League commentaries on most smart speakers.

That is going to be a challenge but we have not signed him for the next two weeks we have signed him for six years and the fans have to keep this in mind."Slot said he has not spoken to the striker more than "one or two" times since signing on deadline day so he will "have to get to know him as a person in the upcoming days and weeks".On Crystal Palace defender Marc Guehi, whose deal collapsed on deadline day: "It would be ridiculous if I denied that we were close to signing him. These things happen in football. In the last moments things can change. It's a pity, not only for us, but for the player as well. Let's see what the future brings for him and for us."Slot praised Harvey Elliott's work ethic and said his move to Aston Villa "is in the interest of everyone as he wasn't getting the game time he deserved for the quality of player he is".Opponents Burnley are "defensively solid" and should not be written off. Reflecting on playing newly promoted teams, Slot added: "We know that every game is difficult and I only have to look back at last season to understand that. We had problems with Ipswich, Leicester and Southampton."On Federico Chiesa being omitted from the Champions League squad: "It's one of the most difficult things you have to do as a manager. I explained to him why we made this choice. Of course he wasn't happy, but I think he understood my argument. That's not to say he agreed with them, but he gave the answer you want to hear from a player. He'll be there to help the team in the cups and league."Follow all of Friday's Premier League news conferences and the rest of the day's football newsListen to live commentary of Burnley v Liverpool on BBC Radio 5 Live on SundayYou can also listen to 5 Live Premier League commentaries on most smart speakers.

The FPL talking pointAttributionLiverpoolCarragher honoured as Athletic Club's 'One-Club Man'published at 12:14 BST 11 September12:14 BST 11 SeptemberImage source, Getty ImagesJamie Carragher has been recognised by Athletic Club as their 2025 'One-Club' Man award winner.The annual accolade, given by the Basque side, celebrates legendary players who have shown loyalty by representing a single club throughout their professional careers.A statement from Bilbao read: "Liverpool FC's Jamie Carragher is the 2025 One-Club Man. The English defender represented the Reds across a 17-year professional career at Anfield, making 737 appearances for the club between 1996 and 2013. "Carra will come to San Mames to receive his award during Athletic Club's La Liga Matchday six clash against Girona FC. Despite having to compete with the likes of John Terry and Rio Ferdinand for an England berth, Jamie was able to represent his nation at three major tournaments." The defender said that it was an honour to receive this award and spoke about the respect Athletic Bilbao garners across the globe. "After winning the Champions League, being a one-club man is the biggest achievement of my career," he told us."It was an honour when Athletic Club got in touch. Athletic are respected everywhere in the world of football. They're a truly unique club."I'm very honoured to receive this award and to know my name will always remain alongside some great footballers like Paolo Maldini and Carles Puyol."Carragher made his mark for Liverpool, notably winning the Champions League, two FA Cups, and three League Cups. He now joins an illustrious list of previous One-Club Man recipients, including Maldini, Puyol, Ryan Giggs, and Sepp Maier. Athletic's tradition of recognising loyalty reflects the values of their own unique philosophy, with the club historically fielding only players of Basque origin.Share08:19 BST 11 SeptemberBack Wirtz to deliver at Burnley - our FPL team of the week, published at 08:19 BST 11 SeptemberBack Wirtz to deliver at Burnley - our FPL team of the weekAttributionPremier LeagueGossip: Liverpool target Bouwmanpublished at 07:25 BST 11 September07:25 BST 11 SeptemberLiverpool and Manchester United are among a host of top clubs tracking Ajax's teenage Dutch defender Aaron Bouwman, 18.

Wirtz scored a beautiful free kick, but completely ran the game, too. He played off one-touch, found pockets of space effortlessly, and simply looked a class above every other player on the pitch.Against Arsenal in his last game for Liverpool, one national newspaper gave Wirtz a 5/10 for his performance. Based on his first-half showing, this was fair. He couldn't get in the game and lost the ball too much, but his second half was very underrated by the media outlets that commented on him. His touch was sublime, and he caused Arsenal's brilliant defence more issues than any player on the pitch.Having seen how Wirtz has dominated for Germany, I think we'll see the best of him in the upcoming games against Burnley, Atletico Madrid and Everton.Wirtz was signed to help break down low-blocks, and against these defensive sides, he'll see lots of the ball and will hopefully be able to demonstrate his undeniable genius.It may help to have the option of Isak running onto his passes, too.Find more from Jordan Chamberlain at Empire of the Kop, externalShare10:29 BST 10 September'Liverpool 28.9% likely to win Premier League', published at 10:29 BST 10 September'Liverpool 28.9% likely to win Premier League'AttributionLiverpoolGossip: Liverpool join race for Whartonpublished at 07:24 BST 10 September07:24 BST 10 SeptemberLiverpool and Newcastle are the latest clubs to join the race to sign England and Crystal Palace midfielder Adam Wharton, 21, with Chelsea and Manchester United also among interested parties.

You can find it further down this page.We asked you for your finest Kop memories and here's a selection of what you sent in.William: I was in the Kop when we played St Etienne in '77. When Fairclough scored I lost my right shoe as we avalanched down the terrace. Looking for it was certainly neither an option nor a concern. In order to go out and celebrate I returned home bare foot in order to put some shoes on (I suspected that I would not get into most places bare foot), only to discover that my parents were watching the match on TV with a couple of French lads who had knocked on the door looking for assistance. My parents fed them, and "allowed" them to watch the match, then organised a taxi for them. I buggered off into town as if nothing had happened. Life as a scouser I suppose!Gary: The goal against Barcelona that won the tie to reach the final. What a night at The Kop end.Paul: My Dad took me to my first game at Anfield in March 1974 against Burnley. Burnley had some great players, Leighton James and Martin Dobson. At half time it was a dour 0-0 and my Dad had spent all his time moaning about John Toshack. In the second half we kicked towards The Kop and my dad resumed moaning about Toshack, then in the dying moments, the 89th minutes it was Keegan to Toshack, 1-0! My Dad began telling me how good Toshack was. I will never forget seeing the mass of people on The Kop for the first time at the age of 10.Ken: As a 14 year old schoolboy I would watch LFC from The Boys Pen which was situated in the top left hand corner of The Kop. I can remember Liverpool needing a goal with only 5 minutes left to play. The lads in the pen started chanting "we wanna goal" which the rest of The Kop took up. Sure enough just a minute later Billy Liddell scored.Frankie: I've been going to see Liverpool since 1962 and without a doubt the greatest goal I've seen scored at The Kop end was substitute David Fairclough's late goal to send them through against St Etienne in 1977 after Liverpool had been trailing in the tie. The whole ground erupted and The Kop in particular as we went on to win our first European Cup that season.Shareprevious pagePage 1 of 42123456…42next page
