Three victories from three matches has positioned Liverpool as the standard-bearers in this embryonic Premier League season. The prospect of starting with four consecutive victories for just the third time in the Premier League era tantalizes Slot and his assembled talents .
But the tale that commands attention is Alexander Isak . The Nordic marksman , secured in the transfer window's most seismic deal, waits in the wings after the briefest of international appearances against Kosovo on Monday.
Can the Liverpool manager resist the temptation? The conundrum is intensified by the compelling form of Hugo Ekitike and Cody Gakpo , who have graced Liverpool's unblemished opening.



Yet football's beauty lies in its unpredictability . The gulf in resources between these institutions – symbolized by Isak's fee dwarfing Burnley's entire summer outlay – matters little once the battle commences .

As rays of light grace Turf Moor, the fundamental issue remains: Is today the day the £125m man begins his Liverpool journey? By the match's conclusion, we'll have our answer – and perhaps a more defined perspective of both these teams' directions in this nascent Premier League campaign.
