"?Liverpool have requested that Burnley host the game at their Turf Moor stadium instead of Anfield for their early-season meeting in the Premier League, according to "?Sky Sports.
They report that the Merseyside club are confident that their construction work to increase the capacity at the stadium will be finished if needed, but another week without playing there would ensure that any issues can be ironed out.
The return fixture at Turf Moor has been pencilled in for March 11th, which would mean that Burnley face the daunting prospect of having four consecutive away games over the course of late February and March.
