The Reds are currently sitting on top of the Premier League table with nine points to their name and look to be well on their way to retaining the title.

Of course, their first three wins didn’t come without some dodgy moments here and there, but now that all of Arne Slot’s new arrivals will be available, things should start coming together nicely.

However, looking ahead to Liverpool’s next Premier League clash against Burnley, they should easily triumph over Scott Parker’s men, but if they do so, they’ll have to do it without one of their “complete” midfielders.

Although Liverpool now have a much stronger team than they did last season, injuries are still managing to hinder them.

Alexander Isak isn’t likely to play every game due to his lack of fitness, and now, while speaking to the media during his pre-Burnley press conference, in quotes relayed by Lewis Steele, Slot shared that another one of his men is set to be absent.

“Liverpool fitness news: Curtis Jones is not available for the game against Burnley after missing England camp through injury but the rest of the squad should be OK,” he wrote.

Now that Jones is officially ruled out of Sunday’s clash, Liverpool will be looking towards Alexis Mac Allister to be the creative spark among their ranks.

This is a tad worrying for Liverpool as, when Mac Allister or Jones haven’t been available, they’ve often struggled and ended up missing the creative spark that the duo bring to the table.

At the moment, it’s anyone’s guess what could happen, but for now, the main things on Slot’s mind will be beating Burnley on Sunday.
