These are the confirmed lineups for Liverpool vs Burnley. The Premier League holders and current leaders to retain the title take on the newly-promoted side in what could be quite the one-sided beating. This could mark the Reds’ bow for new signing Alexander Isak following his big-money move from Newcastle.
Alisson starts in goal with Virgil van Dijk, Ibrahima Konate, Milos Kerkez, and Dominik Szoboszlai in the back line. Alexis Mac Allister returns in midfield with Ryan Gravenberch. Mo Salah, Hugo Ekitike, Florian Wirtz, and Cody Gakpo make up the attacking unit.
Injuries are causing some headaches as midfielders are being asked to fill in the back four, theres also no sign of Alexander Isak as Ekitike is trusted to lead the line. The setup remains the same even if the pieces are a tad jagged.
Martin Dubravka is in goal with Kule Walker, Esteve, Quilindschy Hartman, and Hjalmer Ekdal in the back line. Lesley Ugochukwu is in defensive midfield with Josh Cullen. Loum Tchaouna, Jaidon Anthony, Lyle Foster, and Josh Laurent round out the eleven.
Syatys for Lauren and Tchaouna after being on the bench last time out. The setup remains the same with Foster leading the line, the newcomers add different profiles to the side.
