Lineups: Isak starts as Liverpool host Manchester United

Liverpool’s starting XI for the high-stakes clash against Manchester United at Anfield has been confirmed, featuring the first Premier League start for Alexander Isak.

Liverpool’s lineup to face Manchester United at Anfield has been confirmed, with Sweden striker Alexander Isak handed his first Premier League start at home as the Reds look to halt a three-match losing streak.

Manager Arne Slot received positive news as defender Ibrahima Konate and midfielder Ryan Gravenberch were both passed fit to play. Konate had been a doubt after returning early from France duty, while Gravenberch’s inclusion eases hamstring injury fears after he was withdrawn during the Netherlands’ recent match against Finland as a precaution.

The midfield features a strong trio of Alexis Mac Allister, Gravenberch, and Dominik Szoboszlai, with the latter operating in the most advanced position. Giorgi Mamardashvili continues to deputise in goal for the injured Alisson Becker.

This robust selection sees Conor Bradley and Milos Kerkez at full-back, confirming Slot’s intent to secure three points and close the gap on league leaders Arsenal.
