Alexander Isak back in the Liverpool team for the first time since his injury and some bizarre Arne Slot comments after revealing his team to play PSG.
Liverpool 2-0 down in their Champions League tie ahead of the second leg.
Though the scousers very lucky not to have lost by six or seven as they were outclassed in Paris.
Alexander Isak has proved a disastrous signing so far for Arne Slot and the scousers, spending £130m on a player who in 22 Champions League and Premier League appearances has scored only two goals.
Back in the starting eleven at Anfield tonight the former United player, with massive pressure on Arne Slot.
Liverpool were knocked out of the Champions League last season by PSG and the French club are huge favourites to complete the job again.
United fans now looking on with interest to see what Liverpool can do and whether Alexander Isak will be of any use tonight.
When naming his team, Arne Slot bizarrely making public what a limited role he expects Alexander Isak to play.
The Liverpool boss asked about playing both Hugo Ekitike and Alexander Isak: “If you include Florian Wirtz to that, it is only 88 minutes together. The thinking is that we need to score goals and there are goals in these players. They are two target men, two players we can play in to. As you might not know, Alexander Isak will not be able to play much more than 45 minutes – with the possibility of extra time, it makes sense for me to start him.”
