*sky sports reports
1 The game kicks off in Lancashire.
2 Alexander is scrapping in the middle as always. The atmosphere is cracking at Turf Moor as the Burnley faithful try and inspire their team.
9 The ball comes in from the left for Liverpool aimed at Kuyt...but the Dutchman is penalised for a foul.
12 Aquilani puts in a dangerous cross but it is just over the heads of his team-mates. Liverpool turning the screw though.
13 The crowd is beginning to get a bit nervous now as Liverpool are bossing the game.
24 Both sides look a bit nery out there, but it's understandable given what is riding on the game.
29 Mears with a firm challenge on Babel on the left. Cork is then shown a yellow card for late foot on Agger. The Clarets are snapping into the tackles.
32 Lovely move from Liverpool as Gerrard played a couple of one-twos before putting a low ball in, but Cort blocked the cross.
43 Free header for Cork! Saved by Reina! Lovely ball in from Mears and Cork really should have done better. Best chance of the game.
45+2 Babel is free at the far post! But his effort lacks power and conviction and Jensen claims. Poor defending to let him go.
HALF TIME
46 No changes and the game restarts.
47 Dirk Kuyt is down receiving treatment. Looking at a replay of the second hanball incident in this game, that would have been extremely harsh if given.
48 Liverpool sub: Kuyt off, Benayoun on.
52 We're hearing that Kuyt has suffered a calf injury.
53 GOAL - GERRARD!
A knife in the heart of Burnley! The Reds skipper drove forward and hit a shot from outside the area, it took a wicked deflection off Cort and flew into the net. 1-0.
58 Fletcher tries to latch onto a flick-on but Ayala manages to get a good foot in. He's been reasonably solid so far.
60 GOAL - GERRARD!
The last one may have been lucky, but that was a world-class strike from Gerrard. Aquilani slipped but managed to divert it towards his captain, who slammed it home from way out.
62 Turf Moor is shellshocked now, but fair play to the Burnley fans, who did applaud that Gerrard strike.
64 Burnley sub: Blake on, Alexander off.
66 The Clarets need to score three and Liverpool are having all of the ball now.
73 Burnley sub: Eagles on, Paterson off.
75 GOAL - MAXI!
Lovely goal for Liverpool, Aquilani fed through Maxi with a precise pass and the Argentine finished coolly past Jensen.
77 The Clarets fan continue to sing with pride, can their side give them something to cheer about?
79 Burnley sub: Thompson on, Nugent off.
79 Liverpool sub: Agger off, Lucas on.
83 Liverpool sub: Gerrard off, Pacheco on.
85 Good defending from Jamie Carragher, not letting the striker barge his way through the Reds back-line.
90 Four minutes of added time to play, as Eagles has a shot that flies wide.
90+4 Blake tries to find Mears but Johnson slides in well with a good tackle.
GOAL - BABEL!
The Dutchman looked offside but the flag did not go up and he just managed to get it past Jensen
The final whistle is blown and Burnley are relegated - 4-0 maybe a flattering scoreline, but Liverpool did play very well.
