TODAY Liverpool will play in front of a packed Anfield stadium in a competitive game for the first time since March 2020.
This midday meeting with Burnley in the Premier League comes 17 months after the Champions League fixture against Atletico Madrid which was one of the last games in Europe to be played in front of such a large crowd.
