EPL: Haaland Better than Isak

On Friday, Pep Guardiola rejected Liverpool manager Arne Slot's claim that Alexander Isak is 'maybe the best striker in the world', saying Erling Haaland is `a little bit above`.
Liverpool's record signing Alexander Isak arrived on transfer deadline day for a British-record £125 million and boasts 54 Premier League goals in 86 appearances.
Statistically, Haaland leads the pair with 88 Premier League goals in 100 appearances, and he brings momentum this season with three goals in three league games plus five for Norway.
In November, Manchester City will host Liverpool at the Etihad Stadium, with Guardiola emphasizing he needs Haaland at his best to overcome a challenging start.
Slot noted that winning trophies defines 'the best' and Liverpool plan to build up Isak gradually after he missed four months of team sessions.
