Following on from victories against Sunderland and Wrexham, Andoni Iraola has called upon Isak and Wirtz as he seeks to maintain his perfect record as Liverpool head coach.
However, £60million signing Jeremy Jacquet is not in the squad at all. Fellow new signing and Spain international Victor Munoz is still absent following La Roja’s World Cup victory earlier this month.
Also on extended breaks following the World Cup are Cody Gakpo, Virgil van Dijk and Argentina’s Alexis Mac Allister.
Joe Gomez, who picked up an injury in their friendly against Sunderland last weekend, is unavailable and could miss the start of the Premier League season.
He joins long-term absentees Stefan Bajcetic, Conor Bradley, Hugo Ekitike, Wataru Endo and Giovanni Leoni on the sidelines.
Iraola has rotated significantly in each game so far and Giorgi Mamardashvili is the only player to start all three games as Harvey Elliott makes way for Wirtz.
Right-back Jeremie Frimpong comes in for Calvin Ramsay, while academy graduates Luke Chambers and Ifeanyi Ndukwe have been selected at the heart of defence.
Milos Kerkez - who Iraola managed at Bournemouth - will start at left-back over Kostas Tsimikas. Dominik Szoboszlai - one of Liverpool’s bright sparks last season - starts alongside Trey Nyoni in midfield.
Rio Ngumoha scored Liverpool’s winner against Wrexham and starts up top with Isak.
