Liverpool manager Andoni Iraola will have a different lineup from the one he used in matchday 1 against Atletico Madrid. Liverpool will have a couple of star players missing from their lineup.
One of the players is Alexander Isak, who missed the previous game over the weekend against Manchester City at Anfield.
Isak’s last appearance for Liverpool was in their 1-0 away win over Bournemouth before the international break. Isak scored the winning goal for Liverpool against Bournemouth last month.

Isak is not the only attacking player missing; Cody Gakpo is also out of the squad and will not play. Dominik Szoboszlai is also missing from the squad, and Iraola spoke about all three players ahead of this game; all three players could return this weekend or next week.
Iraola said, “They are not far, but it is difficult to tell you right now [when they will return] until any of the three have trained with the group. We are taking it day to day. But I don’t know if it’s going to be Brentford or Villarreal.”
