According to the latest report from camel.live reporters, Isak is expected to start against Crystal Palace.
In the 2-1 EFL Cup win over Southampton, Slot rested many key players, including Alisson and Van Dijk—who were sent by the club to Paris to attend the Ballon d'Or ceremony.
Against Crystal Palace, they will return to the team alongside Konaté, and Kelleher is expected to start at left-back. Slot has encountered some difficulties on the right flank, with Frimpong and Bradley both competing for that position.
The decision on this position is expected to be made relatively late, but it would not be surprising if Bradley—who came on as a substitute in the second half against Southampton—edges out Frimpong for the starting spot.
In midfield, Gravenberch will return and then compete with Mac Allister, Szoboszlai, and Wirtz for a starting role. Wirtz came on as a substitute in Saturday's Merseyside Derby and missed Tuesday's match.
Mac Allister, who became a father this week, plans to take a step towards regaining 100% fitness after having his pre-season training shortened.
In the forward position, Salah will return. Slot originally intended to bring Isak on as a substitute, but Ekitike's suspension—he was sent off for taking off his shirt to celebrate in the match against the Saints—has disrupted those plans.
This means that unless Slot makes an unexpected adjustment, Isak will start in the forward line in the Premier League for the first time as a Liverpool player.
