Overview

• Arne Slot stated before the Manchester United match that Alexander Isak has completed his build-up period and can be judged fairly from now.
• Isak joined on deadline day for a British-record £125m after skipping Newcastle United’s preseason and early league games.
• Since arriving, he has one goal in the Carabao Cup and one assist across six Liverpool appearances as he rebuilds sharpness.
• During the recent international break, he played two full matches for Sweden without scoring but logged valuable minutes.
• CaughtOffside reported he missed a major chance against Manchester United as his goal drought continued, heightening pressure alongside competition from Hugo Ekitike.
