Man City’s Kevin De Bruyne could miss Liverpool clash in February
A report on Wednesday evening has cast doubt over Kevin De Bruyne’s involvement in Man City’s clash with Liverpool at the beginning of next month.
Liverpool vs Burnley
This week’s Premier League action will continue later today, when Liverpool play host to Burnley.
The Reds head into the tie in desperate need of all 3 points, amid a serious dip in form.
Jurgen Klopp’s side are winless in their last four league outings – a run which has seen them slip down to 4th in the English top-flight, four points adrift of top spot.
However, they shouldn’t have too much of an issue picking up a win against the Clarets.
Liverpool are at home on Thursday, and of course, boast a remarkable 68-game unbeaten streak at Anfield in league action.
Burnley, meanwhile, despite the common perception that they pose a nightmare threat for big clubs, actually possess an awful record against the ‘top-six’.
Against Liverpool, for example, they have managed just a solitary win in all competitions since 2005, a stretch which includes a hefty 9 defeats.

Kevin De Bruyne could miss Liverpool clash
And whilst the Reds are no doubt currently concentrating on their clash with the Clarets, they do have a rather big tie on the horizon.
On the 7th of February, Liverpool will play host to Manchester City in a Premier League meeting.
This clash, of course, could well have a huge say on this season’s title race, with both clubs firmly in it at present.
However, City may be forced to face their rivals without a key player.
There was some concern for Kevin De Bruyne on Wednesday when the Belgian looked to pick up a knock in Man City’s win over Aston Villa.
Pep Guardiola would state post-match that KDB may have a muscle issue.
And now, according to a report from The Athletic on Wednesday evening, De Bruyne could be absent vs Liverpool after picking up a hamstring problem:
