Wirtz extended the lead to 2-0 in the 60th minute, while Isak added a third goal late in the match. Eddie Nketiah scored a stoppage-time penalty for Palace after Milos Kerkez committed a foul in the box.
Liverpool manager Andoni Iraola enters the second international break noting his team remains a work-in-progress. The victory provides a crucial confidence boost for the squad after recent criticism of their domestic performances.
Numerous German protagonists experience a successful Premier League day: While Florian Wirtz leads Liverpool FC to victory in the field, Marco Rose and Fabian Hürzeler from the sideline can cheer on the next successes of their teams.
