Liverpool are back on their pre-season tour of Asia and the heat is real as they clash with AC Milan in Hong Kong — yes, another remake of that unforgettable 2005 Champions League final in Istanbul
But make no mistake, this one no be revenge or throwback—Arne Slot is focused on fitness, sharpness, and figuring out his squad ahead of the upcoming Premier League season.
While Mohamed Salah and Virgil van Dijk remain the experienced heads guiding the squad, there’s a fresh burst of energy from Academy gems and new arrivals. No sign of Luis Diaz or Darwin Nunez in this one — and for those waiting on Hugo Ekitike, it’s reportedly still “too early” for him to feature.
✅ Confirmed Lineups:
Liverpool XI: Alisson, Van Dijk, Szoboszlai, Salah, Elliott, Robertson, Gravenberch, Wirtz, Ngumoha, Morton, Stephenson.
AC Milan XI: Maignan, Tomori, Pavlovic, Thiaw, Saelemaekers, Loftus-Cheek, Ricci, Fofana, Pulisic, Leao, Bartesaghi.
Kickoff time is 12:30PM WAT, and fans are ready to see how Slot’s style is beginning to shape up.
Omo, with this kind of lineup, expect gbas gbos and goal galore. Pre-season or not, pride is on the line!
