Arne Slot has revealed Alexander Isak is fully fit again after his lack of pre-season, with the £125 million ($166.7m) striker now searching for his first Premier League goal for Liverpool.

Arne Slot has urged the Anfield crowd to play their part when Liverpool host Manchester United in Sunday's highly-anticipated Premier League clash.
