“Let’s see…”: Liverpool ace starting against Everton in doubt as Slot plays waiting game

Liverpool take on Everton in the Merseyside Derby tomorrow, and they will look to continue their winning start to the campaign.

They have picked up four wins in a row in the Premier League, and they will look to pick up their fifth win tomorrow. They will be full of confidence and momentum after the impressive win over Atletico Madrid during the midweek.

Meanwhile, Everton are in impressive form as well, and Liverpool cannot afford to underestimate them. They will look to put on a strong performance here, and Arne Slot will hope to have his best players available for the game.

Arne Slot on Alexander Isak

The Liverpool manager has confirmed in his pre-match press conference that the participation of club-record signing Alexander Isak is not certain yet. The Swedish International was tired after his involvement against Atletico Madrid during the midweek. It was his first match of the campaign after missing the whole of pre-season.

He will need time to get back to his peak fitness, and it will be interesting to see if Liverpool are willing to risk him in the Derby game.

Arne Slot said: “Alex felt his body more than ever before after the 60mins he played. Let’s see how he’s recovered. We will think about the line up later today.”

Can Isak start for the Reds?

Liverpool will certainly hope that the Swedish International can take part in the game tomorrow. They will need his ingenuity and sharpness in the final third. Everton will look to shut out the opposition, and having a top-class striker like could make a big difference for Liverpool in the final third.

Isak is undoubtedly the best striker in the Premier League when he is fit and on form. He will look to make his mark in his first Merseyside Derby as a Liverpool player if he is deemed fit to play.
