"Everyone is waiting for their first glimpse of Alexander Isak in a Liverpool shirt. The fans will be pleased to see him starting, while Arne Slot will be eager to see how long he can last. The Liverpool head coach guarantees that the 125m will not last 90 minutes against Atletico Madrid but also knows he needs a shift from the forward because a win against the Spanish side is vital in what is a difficult Champions League group stage on paper for the Reds."
"They will face Eintracht Frankfurt, Internazionale, Real Madrid and PSV before Christmas, so a positive start is required. Atletico Madrid have won once in four La Liga games so far this season, so Liverpool will be confident considering their 100% Premier League record. Diego Simeone, however, will not make things easy for the English champions, making it a potentially fascinating encounter."
Alexander Isak starts for Liverpool in a home Champions League group-stage match against Atletico Madrid. Liverpool lineup: Alisson, Frimpong, Konate, van Dijk, Robertson, Szoboszlai, Gravenberch, Salah, Wirtz, Gakpo, Isak; substitutes include Mamardashvili, Gomez, Mac Allister and others. Atletico lineup: Oblak, Llorente, Le Normand, Lenglet, Galan, Simeone, Barrios, Gallagher, Gonzalez, Raspadori, Griezmann. The 125m signing is not expected to play the full 90 minutes but must produce a meaningful shift. Liverpool face a challenging group including Eintracht Frankfurt, Inter, Real Madrid and PSV and need a positive start. Atletico have mixed early league form and several first-team injuries.
