It took a 95th-minute penalty from Mohamed Salah to ensure Liverpool returned to the Premier League's summit as they secured a last-gasp 1-0 win against 10-man Burnley at Turf Moor. A stubborn Burnley rearguard looked set to hold out for a point against the Premier League champions on Sunday, even when Lesley Ugochukwu received his marching orders. Arne Slot left British record signing Alexander Isak out of his matchday squad.

Parker's Burnley looked set to claim a valuable point at Manchester United after his side twice fought back to level. Then, with the clock just into added-on time, United winger Amad Diallo had his jersey pulled by Jaidon Anthony as they ran into the area. On-field referee Sam Barrott declined to give a penalty, but was told to review the incident on video and he changed his mind.

Burnley must avoid a repeat of the disastrous 2023/24 season, characterized by a relegation struggle and low points average, by fielding a more competitive squad.

Burnley are keen on signing Callum Wilson, who is now a free agent after leaving Newcastle earlier this month, targeting veteran players to strengthen their squad.

It's a really special feeling of hunger and excitement. From the first moment I spoke to the coach [Scott Parker], I was really excited and impressed.

Burnley and West Ham are both targeting Taylor Harwood-Bellis, with Burnley looking for a loan deal and West Ham needing a player sale before proceeding.

"There's a reason why players buy into what he wants not just starters, but the squad. There's an art to that. His man-management is incredible."
