Liverpool travel to face West Ham United on Saturday with the focus on forwards Alexander Isak and Florian Wirtz. The pair are expected to take greater responsibility in the absence of Mohamed Salah, per Sky Sports. Salah departed the club recently, leaving a vacancy in the right-sided attacking role.
Isak joined Liverpool from Newcastle United while Wirtz arrived from Bayer Leverkusen. Both players have featured regularly under the current management as the club seeks to maintain its position in the Premier League table. According to the Premier League, Liverpool currently occupy third place in the standings with 75 points from 34 matches.
Managerial staff have praised the technical versatility of Wirtz and the clinical finishing of Isak during recent training sessions. The team remains in contention for silverware as the domestic season enters its final month. Defensive stability remains a priority alongside the new attacking dynamic, as reported by The Guardian. Victory at the London Stadium would strengthen the pursuit of a top-four finish.
