Burnley vs Liverpool: Lineups, team news, confirmed starting teams with Isak absent
Full team news from Burnley vs Liverpool
The Premier League leaders return to action after the international break with a trip to promoted Burnley on Sunday.
Striker Alexander Isak is yet to make his Reds debut following his British-record £125 million signing from Newcastle on September 1.
Isak trained for the first time with his new club on Wednesday but the 25-year-old is severely lacking match fitness, having missed the Magpies’ pre-season and the opening three weeks of the campaign.
