Liverpool team news

Arne Slot could hand semi-competitive debuts to Liverpool’s wealth of new signings. Florian Wirtz is expected to start in midfield, following his £116m British transfer record move from Bayer Leverkusen.

Jeremie Frimpong and Milos Kerkez are also hoping to win their first trophy with Liverpool, while gellow recruit Hugo Ekitike should lead the line after Darwin Nunez completed his transfer to Al-Hilal over the weekend.

Alisson and Virgil van Dijk are doubts for the clash, with the latter’s concern leaving Liverpool light at centre-back with Joe Gomez out injured. Ryan Gravenberch or Wataru Endo could deputise defensively.
