Here's what Slot had to say about Isak's absence. Stay patient, Liverpool fans.

"As everybody knew, he didn’t have any team training at Newcastle, then went to the national team [and] only played there for 15 to 20 minutes.

“We think, with a week where we play three games in seven days, this is the best lead-up for him to be available against Atletico Madrid.

“So, where would he be? Second or third week of pre-season, I would say, so able to hopefully play during the week 45 minutes or more, but then two days later, as you know, we play Everton again.

“It’s going to be interesting for the performance staff, for us, to get the best out of him at the start but also to keep him available for the end.”

Burnley, meanwhile, make two changes to the side who fell 3-2 at Old Trafford last time out. Jacob Bruun Larsen makes way for Loum Tchaouna and Hannibal is replaced by Josh Laurent.

As for team news, the biggest story is that there is still no Alexander Isak in red just yet. The Swede is not included in the matchday squad.

Slot has opted for the same XI that beat Arsenal last time out, notably keeping Dominik Szoboszlai at right-back.

Who remembers the last time a Scott Parker Burnley side faced Liverpool?
