NEWS UPDATE: Liverpool starting line-up vs Darmstadt predicted – as hints for Chelsea clash dropped – gallery.
Liverpool play their final pre-season friendly of the summer against SV Darmstadt 98 this evening (19.00 BST).
The Reds meet the newly-promoted Bundesliga side at Preston North End’s Deepdale as the redevelopment at Anfield continues.
With Liverpool’s 2023-24 Premier League curtain-raiser against Chelsea taking place this Sunday, Jurgen Klopp will certainly be hoping to see plenty of positive aspects from his side against Darmstadt.
So far, the Reds have won games against Leciester City and Karlsruher while they drew 4-4 against Greuther Furth. But last time out, a 4-3 loss to Bayern Munich was suffered.
Klopp wasn’t too disheartened by the loss to the German champions in Singapore, although he will want to see improvements – particularly defensively.
The final exhibition game ahead of the competitive action starts will give Klopp a chance to run the rule over his troops for a final time and the team he selects may be a hint for the trip to Chelsea.
With that in mind, here’s the team to face Darmstadt predicted.
