The fourth round of the 2025/26 Premier League season is about to begin, with Liverpool traveling to face Burnley. Liverpool manager Slaughter announced at a press conference that midfielder Jones will not be involved in the match due to an injury.

Liverpool defeated Arsenal 1-0 in the previous round's key match, thanks to a free kick from Soboslai. With three consecutive wins, Liverpool currently sits at the top of the table with nine points.

As for Burnley, Scott Parker's team is currently ranked 14th in the standings with 3 points, having lost 2-3 to Manchester United in the last round.

In addition, in terms of head-to-head records, Liverpool has won the last five matches against Burnley. However, some Liverpool players participated in the international match day that just ended, so Slaughter's team will still face many challenges in terms of lineup.

When asked about the status of the team's lineup, Liverpool manager Slaughter said, "This is the first training camp for the players after returning to the team. Most of them participated in the training, and those players who did not go to the national team have trained with the U21 this week. Maybe the outside world doesn't know that Jones was injured in the last game and therefore could not play in the game against Burnley."

"For the rest of the players, I think there are no problems. But this situation cannot always be taken for granted, especially at the beginning of the season, when players come from different preparation environments and have to play two games in four or five days with the national team, which is always the biggest risk. But in November, October or March, they are more accustomed to this schedule."

Slote also said: "We are happy that the players are all healthy. At the same time, we must once again praise not only the Swedish coach, but also the coaches of other national teams. For example, Gravenberch only participated in the starting lineup for one game, not two."
