'The closest thing to a guarantee!' – Andoni Iraola hails Alexander Isak goalscoring instinct

Liverpool manager Andoni Iraola has praised striker Alexander Isak ahead of their Premier League match against Crystal Palace. Isak recently scored his seventh goal of the season during a midweek Champions League match. The Sweden international has scored in two of his last three appearances against Palace at home. However, Isak has struggled to find the back of the net in seven previous Premier League games at Selhurst Park, making Sunday a crucial opportunity to end that goal drought.

Iraola described Isak as "the closest thing to a guarantee" for scoring if provided with sufficient service in front of goal. He emphasized Liverpool's efforts to maximize Isak's movement and technical abilities, encouraging him to exploit spaces, come to receive the ball, and showcase his technical skills. Iraola also highlighted that Liverpool are aiming to continue their impressive away form, having accumulated 67% of their season's points while playing away from home.
