FOOTBALL Inside Moises Caicedo's decision to snub Liverpool for Chelsea despite Reds agreeing deal as revealed by agent
Liverpool agreed a £110million (Ksh 19.4 billion) deal with Brighton for Caicedo, but the Ecuador international told Jurgen Klopp that he wanted to go to Chelsea instead.
Meanwhile, Sterling returns to the Chelsea XI after being dropped to the bench against Fulham last Monday after a virus disrupted his training schedule. Mykhailo Mudryk, who scored in the 2-0 win over Fulham, makes way for Sterling.
The game started with Burnley creating the first chance of the game and taking the lead with a well-worked move.
The home side worked it really well initially down the right in a move that ended with Lyle Foster coming infield and finding Wilson Odobert for a low effort across the goal and in.

But Chelsea rallied back and got the equaliser before the referee blew the whistle for halftime.
Raheem Sterling does well, to be fair to him, driving down the byline on the left before firing a cross that Ameen Al Dakhil does even better to knee over his own keeper and in.
Both teams resumed the second half but it was Chelsea who looked desperate to get a goal which they did.
Raheem Sterling got tripped in the box and the referee pointed to the penalty spot. Cole Palmer does the rest with a neat penalty to open his Chelsea account.
Chelsea added the third goal to have a comfortable lead shortly after they took the lead from the penalty spot.
The Blues won the ball in midfield through Moises Caicedo, who set Conor Gallagher away. He finds Raheem Sterling with a neat pass and the forward does the rest with a low finish across goal and in.
Pochettino’s men added the fourth as Burnley were ripped open again with Raheem Sterling breaking down the left.
He crosses low across the box for Cole Palmer to set up half-time Nicolas Jackson for a neat spin and finish.
