LFC Live - Liverpool are about to add five players to Arne Slot's strongest squad

In truth, they are about to, as Arne Slot can call on a number of reinforcements with perfect timing.

The reigning Premier League champions began their title defence with wins over Bournemouth and Newcastle United - a 100 per cent winning record that was matched by only Tottenham Hotspur and Arsenal after the first couple of weekends of the season.

Thomas Frank's side then fell to defeat before Dominik Szoboszlai's sublime free-kick ended the Gunners' perfect record when they visited Liverpool.

Sitting top of the table led nicely into the September break which is now coming to an end, with the matches about to arrive thick and fast for Slot and Co.

Before the next set of internationals, the Reds must face rivals Everton and Chelsea, plus they have the beginning of both their Champions League and Carabao Cup campaigns to consider.

Up first, though, is a trip to Burnley.

When the Premier League team news is announced 75 minutes prior to kick-off at Turf Moor, the first name fans will go searching for is Alexander Isak's.

He was the first Reds star to succumb to an injury as he exited the season curtain raiser vs Bournemouth on the hour mark, but it is promising to see the full-back return to training in the days before the next league game.

Similar could be said of Stefan Bajcetic, who was not spotted in group training on Wednesday but was seen running outside and kicking a ball.

The young midfielder required surgery on a hamstring issue sustained towards the end of his loan spell with Las Palmas last season.
