The second major friendly involving a Premier League team this pre-season in European soccer will be played on Saturday, with Liverpool and AC Milan replaying the 2005 and 2007 Champions League finals in Hong Kong. The Serie A side played a match in the Orient earlier this week, while the Reds begin their tour of Asia after a friendly at Preston North End.
Liverpool team news
Liverpool enjoyed an extremely successful season with the arrival of Arne Slot, a coach who quickly molded Jurgen Klopp's squad with his own playing philosophy, but all indications are that things could be better. Hugo Ekitike is the next player expected to arrive for the Reds, joining Milos Kerkez, Jeremie Frimpong and record signing Florian Wirtz.
Frimpong, Kerkez and Giorgi Mamardashvili made their Liverpool debuts in the win against Preston, but the fans are really hoping for Florian Wirtz's debut. Considering the latest reports, there's a good chance that the striker will wear the Reds shirt for the first time in an official match.
Liverpool predicted lineup vs Milan: Mamardashvili; Frimpong, Konate, Gomez, Kerkez; Gravenberch, Endo, Jones; Salah, Nunez, Ngumoha
Milan team news
Meanwhile, Milan will play their second pre-season game under Massimiliano Allegri, who made his Rossoneri debut with a 1-0 defeat against Arsenal. The coach, who returned to the helm 11 years later, could yet lose more players in addition to Tijjani Reijnders and Theo Hernandez.
Milan won't make their Serie A debut until August 23 and could play more friendlies before taking the field for the first time in the 2025/26 season in an Italian Cup match against Bari. After the loss of Reijnders and Hernandez, Rafael Leão continues to be involved in transfer rumors, but continues to play as a regular starter.
Milan predicted lineup vs Liverpool: Terracciano; Tomori, Thiaw, Pavlovic; Saelemaekers, Ricci, Musah, Loftus-Cheek, Chukwueze; Leao, Okafor
