Having only managed 18 minutes for Sweden be interested to see Isak's game time Vs Burnley.
I would imagine same team that faced Arsenal with AI on the bench.
Interesting to see how we accommodate both Isak and Ek as I do hope Hugo retains his place as he has been excellent.

I'm personally expecting Bradley at RB, Dom back in midfield for Macallister and Isak to get the last 10-15mins.

I've seen a few fans online, who think both Isak and Ekitike will start against Burnley as a two up top, but you have to ask why, when Isak has hardly played or even trained this season! Do they want him injured already?

Last season Slot realised the issues with players, especially those from South American countries, returning late after so much travelling.

Isak won't start he next 3 games for Liverpool.

He will be put on near the end I would imagine. I agree with Ernest Millar - Macallister needs a bit more fitness, he might come on for Szoboslai or Wirtz later on.

Barring injuries and players returning home late. I would go with
Alison.
Bradley.
Konate
Van Dijk.
Kerkez
Gravenberch
Szoboszlai
Wirtz
Salah
Ekitike
Gakpo
There a chance he may even start Chiesa and he rests Ekitike. Just a hunch.

I would guess that Isak first start would be against Southampton in the cup. That’s two league games and one champions league game where I think his minutes will slow increase unless we need him.
09 Sep 2025 20:15:33
Ekitike will start, he's getting up to speed so still needs minutes rather than coming back fron injury (macca) or not playing at all (isak)
10 Sep 2025 08:36:18
Why would Ekitike need a rest 3 games into the season?
10 Sep 2025 12:30:13
Apparently, Flash. Ekitike will start until Isak is ready. When that will be? No one knows BUT we will not be rushing Isak in just to fulfill some fans' fever dreams so they can go brag to their bros. online saying, "Have you seen who we have? ".
