Returning to Anfield after an impressive USA tour, Liverpool is set to face Sevilla in their penultimate summer friendly.
Liverpool:
The Reds had a mixed start to pre-season with a surprising defeat to Preston North End, but they bounced back strongly in America. Victories over Real Betis, Arsenal, and a resounding 3-0 win against Manchester United showcased their attacking prowess. New manager Arne Slot, who has faced some criticism for Liverpool’s quiet transfer window, will lead the team from the touchline for the first time at Anfield. The stadium’s recent redevelopment will allow a record crowd of 61,276 to witness the clash.
Sevilla:
Sevilla arrives at Anfield aiming to continue their pre-season form with a fourth consecutive friendly win. After initial setbacks against Orlando Pirates and Sporting Lisbon, they have turned things around with victories over Al-Ittihad, Granada, and Fulham. Under new manager Garcia Pimienta, Sevilla is looking to improve on their disappointing 14th-place finish in La Liga last season. With their upcoming La Liga opener against Las Palmas, Sevilla will be keen to test their mettle against one of Europe’s top teams. They boast a solid record against Liverpool in previous competitive encounters, including the 2016 Europa League final.
Prediction: 3-1
