As for Liverpool's record against the Clarets, recent history strongly favours Slot's side. Liverpool have been on the winning side of the last five meetings between the clubs. To go on, the Reds boast a very strong away record against the Lancashire club, winning eight out of nine Premier League fixtures at Turf Moor.

This cautious approach reflects Liverpool’s belief in the long-term value of the player. With a six-year contract secured, the focus is firmly on ensuring Isak is physically prepared to contribute consistently across multiple competitions.
