Liverpool begin the first of two friendlies against Athletic Club with a youthful lineup at Anfield, as Alexis Mac Allister features in midfield and Darwin Nunez leads the attack.
Freddie Woodman starts in goal, protected by a back four of Curtis Jones at right-back, Kostas Tsimikas and Luca Stephenson as centre-backs, and Andy Robertson on the left.
Mac Allister anchors the midfield, supported by Harvey Elliott and Trey Nyoni in more advanced roles.
Up front, Arne Slot has gone with pace and flair, as Ben Doak, Rio Ngumoha and Nunez form the attacking trio.
Joe Gomez misses out due to injury, and Alisson remains unavailable after returning to Brazil for family reasons.
Slot is expected to make wholesale changes for the second game at 8 pm.
