Liverpool will endeavour to build on their opening-day success over Norwich City when they return to Anfield for Saturday's Premier League clash with Burnley in gameweek two.
Jurgen Klopp's men once again provided another goal-laden performance on the opening day to run out 3-0 winners at Carrow Road, with Diogo Jota, Roberto Firmino and Mohamed Salah on the scoresheet.
The Reds now gear up for their first Premier League game of the 2021-22 season at Anfield, where the returning contingent of supporters will expect no less than a second win from two matches as they bid to sustain a title charge.
