Liverpool lineup vs. Man United confirmed as Isak starts and Wirtz on bench again

Arne Slot has named an unchanged Liverpool lineup for the visit of Man United this afternoon, with Alexander Isak named up top.

Liverpool had six players play the maximum number of minutes available during the October international break, with Isak among them.

The striker played a full 90 minutes (twice) for the first time since the end of last season with Sweden, with Slot left to declare that his ‘pre-season’ is over – and he starts over Hugo Ekitike.
