Liverpool vs Athletic Club LIVE

Arne Slot’s Liverpool play their final pair of summer friendlies today, hosting Athletic Club in a double header at Anfield ahead of next weekend’s Community Shield. It has been a successful pre-season for the Reds, who have won three of their four outings so far, losing only to AC Milan. With their Premier League title defence due to kick off in less than two weeks, these matches will be the final chance for players to impress ahead of the new campaign.

With 180 minutes of football on the docket for tonight, fans can expect to see most, if not all, of the club’s senior players involved, with some academy hopefuls also likely to feature. Slot named a youth-focused side for the first match of the evening and took a comfortable 4-1 win, and will hope to do the double as his senior players take the pitch in the late kick-off.

28 mins: The one new Liverpool signing we’ve not seen too much of is Kerkez. The left-back has been a bit more reserved in his positioning, more tucking in to form a back three instead of bombing on on the overlap.
