00:00Liverpool could welcome one of the most anticipated debuts of the season this Sunday with Alexander
00:07Izak ready to feature for the Premier League champions against Burnley.
00:12A 25-year-old striker who joined Liverpool in a record-breaking £125m transfer on deadline
00:18day has been building momentum since arriving at Anfield and fans are eager to see him in red.
00:25Former Liverpool winger Jermaine Pennant has already hailed Izak as the best No. 9 in the world,
00:31claiming he would rather have the Swede on his side than Harry Kane or Erling Haaland.
00:37Pennant believes that once a fully fit and given some games, Izak will thrive in Liverpool's system,
00:43underlining the belief that he can make an immediate impact for Arnish Lott's side.
00:48Izak's form with Sweden has reinforced that promise, called up despite not playing pre-season
00:54or featuring in Newcastle's opening three Premier League matches.
00:59He made a notable contribution against Kosovo, managing four shots in just 18 minutes off the bench,
01:06the most of any player on the pitch.
01:08Speaking after the match, Izak downplayed his acrimonious exit from Newcastle,
01:14existing his focus is now on Liverpool and moving forward.
01:18The striker trained with his new teammates for the first time on Wednesday at the AXA training centre,
01:25alongside other Liverpool internationals returning from duty.
01:29With Liverpool eyeing a fourth consecutive win at the start of the campaign,
01:34Izak could be the missing piece to sharpen their attack and provide fresh options in the final third.
01:40Sometimes positive as well, because both teams were really good in rest defence and in defending.
01:47But I think normally Arsenal and us are able to create more chances during a game.
01:53Head coach Arnie Schlott has made an update on Izak's fitness in his pre-match press conference.
02:01But if the striker is past fit, Sunday could mark a landmark moment for Liverpool's new signing
02:08and a chance for him to start making his mark at Anfield.
