Confirmed Lineups: Bayern Munich vs Liverpool

Liverpool Fc V Bayern Munchen Pre Season Friendly

Virgil van Dijk gets the start for his first start as permanent captain, while the two new signees Dominik  Szoboszlai and Alexis Mac Allister are in the same Starting XI for the first time, Unfortunately, former Liverpool standout Sadio Mané transferred out of Bayern Munich just hours before the match, so fans will not get a chance to see him on the pitch.

LFC Globe Verdict

Jürgen Klopp said this match would be Liverpool’s toughest test of the pre-season, but he has put together a strong lineup to meet the challenge. I’m very interested to see how Szoboszlia and Mac Allister play together and a match like this should expose any weakness that needs to address through the transfer market.
