"Unsurprisingly, the pre-match conversation will be dominated by the question of whether striker Alexander Isak will make his Reds debut following his British record £125m signing from Newcastle that brought an end to the summer transfer window's most captivating saga. Isak trained for the first time with his new club on Wednesday but the 25-year-old is severely lacking match fitness having missed both the entirety of the Magpies' preseason and the opening three weeks of the season."
"The forward did, however, feature get an 18-minute runout for Sweden against Kosovo on Monday and Liverpool boss Arne Slot hailed Sweden manager Jon Dahl Tomasson for his careful treatment of Isak while on international duty. Irrespective of the role Isak will play, if any, Slot will be looking for his side to maintain their perfect start to the season at Turf Moor."
"Burnley, meanwhile, will have taken plenty of positives from their trip to Old Trafford last time out, which saw them denied a point by a 97th-minute Bruno Fernandes penalty. Despite a 3-2 loss, Scott Parker's clarets ran Manchester United mightily close and he will be hoping for a similar plucky performance on Sunday as they look to cause something of an upset and add to the three points they have already earned this season."
Alexander Isak joined Liverpool in a British record £125m signing from Newcastle and trained with the squad but lacks match fitness after missing Newcastle's preseason and Liverpool's opening three weeks. He had an 18-minute runout for Sweden against Kosovo, and Arne Slot praised Sweden manager Jon Dahl Tomasson for careful treatment of Isak during international duty. Liverpool sit with a perfect start and beat Arsenal 1-0 through a Dominik Szoboszlai free-kick, making them favourites at Turf Moor. Burnley narrowly lost 3-2 to Manchester United after a 97th-minute penalty and hope for another plucky performance. Kyle Walker is available for Burnley; Zeki Amdouni remains injured.
