What does his absence mean for the remainder of the season and the summer transfer window? With Ekitike out, the spotlight turns firmly to Alexander Isak. The panel discuss whether he’s ready to lead the line after a slow start to life at Anfield, while also taking a closer look at Florian Wirtz — and why these final weeks of the season could define how he’s judged. Plus, a look ahead to a huge Merseyside derby away at Everton, and how Liverpool adapt without their main striker as the race for the top five intensifies. Want to get in touch with your thoughts?
