"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."
"Right-back Kyle Walker is fresh for the hosts after being left out of the England squad for the World Cup double-header against Andorra and Serbia but forward Zeki Amdouni remains sidelined with injury. Manager Scott Parker brings in midfielder Josh Laurent and forward Loum Tchaouna. On-loan Benfica midfielder Florentino Luis is on the bench. Centre-back Jordan Beyer and right-back Connor Roberts remain out, while Lyle Foster and Jaidon Anthony start again after scoring in the 3-2 defeat at Manchester United on August 30."
