Dancing on Ice fans were left bereft in 2014 with the news that the show had been cancelled.

Jurgen Klopp’s side to secure the points and keep the deficit between themselves and the reigning Premier League champions to nine points.While the Brazilian midfielder was the one with the goalscoring touch, it was the heroics of Alisson Becker in the Liverpool goal who really ensured the points went home with the Merseysiders.The Brazilian made four crucial saves in the first half from Jay Rodriguez and Burnley summer signing Wout Weghorst.However, Sean Dyche’s side were the ones who were left to rue their missed opportunities – Daily Star Sport takes a look at four things Klopp got right against BurnleyFor the first time since their 2-2 home draw against Brighton and Hove Albion in October, Klopp deployed the terrifying trio of Sadio Mane, Mohamed Salah, and Roberto Firmino all together in the same frontline.This was the most surprising decision the German made, considering Diogo Jota’s impressive form in the absence of Salah and Mane.Jota has operated in the ‘hole’ beautifully, and even scored an impressive brace in the Reds’ 2-0 home victory against Leicester City. However, Burnley’s assertive and aggressive defending style called for the subtlety and unpredictability of Firmino, rather than the agility and speed of Jota.And the Brazilian was a strong focal point at the spearhead of Liverpool’s attack, finding space in-between the Clarets’ midfield and defence, and providing Salah and Mane with a perfect back board.Like Mane and Salah, Firmino’s contract is also set to expire in the summer of 2023 - Liverpool supporters will surely hope the club pens him to a new deal.

Manchester United fans have been left fuming after Kieran Trippier scored his second goal in five days for Newcastle United on Sunday.The Red Devils had been strongly linked with the England right-back during both the winter and summer transfer windows in 2021, but failed to meet Atletico Madrid's valuation.Instead, Trippier joined Newcastle last month from the Spanish champions for £13.5million, becoming the first signing since the club's Saudi-led takeover.He has since started every match since joining and has taken his goal tally for the club to two after scoring direct free-kicks in each of their last two matches.Trippier opened his account for the Magpies in Tuesday night's 3-1 home win over Everton, bending in a free-kick from distance for Newcastle's third goal.He then grabbed his second goal for the club with the opening goal against Aston Villa on Sunday, smashing the ball through the wall and into the net from the edge of the box.This has left United fans fuming, having seen their side fail to land Trippier's services during their previous pursuit of the 31-year-old.Following his goal against Villa, United fans quickly took to social media to criticise their club's decision not to put up the funds required to sign him last year.Should Manchester United have signed Kieran Trippier? Let us know in the comments section below.One fan tweeted: “Kieran Trippier showing why Man Utd should have bought him.”Another added: “Great decision not signing Trippier.”A third supporter wrote: “Love Kieran Trippier me. Excellent for Newcastle to get him, he'd get in every PL side apart from Man City, Liverpool and Chelsea.
