Liverpool are in Germany for their third pre-season friendly of the summer, with Jurgen Klopp naming a strong squad to face RB Leipzig tonight.
Six days on from the Reds’ last friendly in Singapore and Klopp’s side are already in Germany for the start of the next stage of pre-season in a few days’ time in England.
The trip to Asia did bring a few injuries to see Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Diogo Hota left out of the traveling squad, but both Alisson and Calvin Ramsey were included.
With the Reds’ No.1 not ready for an immediate return, Adrian starts at the Red Bull Arena with Trent Alexander-Arnold, Ibrahima Konate, Virgil van Dijk and Andy Robertson making up the back four.
Fabinho, Thiago and Naby Keita start in midfield.
And Mo Salah, Luis Diaz and Roberto Firmino line up in attack.
With plenty of options off the bench, there will be changes in the reckoning and the majority of those are expected to come at half-time as Klopp continues to increase the minutes for the majority of his squad.
Of the 31-man traveling squad, Alisson, Fabian Mrozek, Calvin Ramsey and Kaide Gordon are the four missing from the matchday squad, with all but Mrozek working their way back to full fitness.
Liverpool: Adrian; Alexander-Arnold, Konate, Van Dyck, Robertson; Fabinho, Thiago, Keita; Salah, Firmino, Diaz
Subs: Hughes, Davies, Gomez, Matip, Phillips, Tsimikas, Mabaia, Van den Berg, Henderson, Milner, Baycetic, Jones, Morton, Elliott, Carvalho, Nunes
