After winning both the League and FA Cup, Liverpool will be looking to pick up an early piece of Silverware as they look to push again for glory on all four fronts. The Reds came very close last season to picking up a historic quadruple only to fall at the final hurdle in the Premier League and a disappointing defeat to Real Madrid in the Champions League final.  

Despite this, Jurgen Klopp has been his typical self in pre-season admitting that it only took him a day to get over missing out on the quadruple. In transfer news, Liverpool waved goodbye to Sadio Mane who moved to German giants Bayern Munich. However Liverpool moved quickly to replace the Senegalese superstar with the big money capture of Darwin Nunez, Liverpool fans will be hoping that the 23-year-old Uruguayan striker can hit the ground running on Merseyside.   

In team news, both Alisson Becker & Diego Jota have been ruled out of the match with respective abdominal and hamstring injuries. Third-choice keeper Adrian is likely to come in for Alisson. Darwin Nunez is expected to lead the line, whilst Mo Salah should feature after committing his long-term future to the club earlier in the summer. 

Liverpool Predicted Team Adrian; Alexander-Arnold, Matip, Van Dijk, Robertson; Henderson, Fabinho, Thiago; Salah, Nunez, Diaz
