Hello all, Merry Christmas and welcome to welcome to the live MBM of this Boxing Day treat. History points towards a comfortable Liverpool won. They've won seven of their last eight league matches at Turf Moor – their highest away win rate (88%) against any side they’ve faced at least five times – but an injury crisis impacting a range of positions, including first-choice left-back Andy Robertson, could impact them today.

Burnley will take any advantage they can get as they've struggled at home this campaign. With eight defeats from nine on their own patch, they've only lost more top-flight matches at Turf Moor in a single campaign on four previous occasions: nine in 1970-71, 1975-76 and 2020-21, and 10 in 2018-19. And we've only just passed Christmas!

Liverpool tend to carry over the Christmas cheer and have won their past six Boxing Day matches since a 2-1 defeat at Manchester City in 2013.

A win will take Liverpool top of the league at least until Arsenal play again in two days. Burnley will remain in the drop zone no matter what happens. Vincent Kompany won't be worrying about that today. Perhaps this is the match that turns his season around? Hey, tis the time for festive miracles. Maybe we're in for one this afternoon.

Kick off at 5:30pm BST. Teams and further updates to come.
