Overview

• Hugo Ekitike said it is good for Liverpool to have multiple centre-forwards and that he is open to playing alongside Alexander Isak.
• Ekitike has started strongly since joining from Eintracht Frankfurt, scoring five goals in his first eight appearances.
• After a Carabao Cup red card that ruled him out against Crystal Palace, Ekitike is available again ahead of the Champions League trip to Galatasaray.
• Alexander Isak arrived from Newcastle on deadline day for a reported £125 million and is rebuilding sharpness after missing pre-season, having made his first league start in the loss at Palace.
• Ekitike apologised for his dismissal and has been given notable attacking freedom under Slot, who will decide how to balance his options up front.
