Liverpool vs AC Milan

 

The previous confrontation between these clubs ended in favour of the Reds.

 

Liverpool are ready to lock horns with AC Milan in a pre-season club friendly encounter. The interesting contest between the two teams is scheduled to take place at the Kai Tak Sports Park.

 

 

 

The English Premier League winners have done well in both of their last two friendlies. Liverpool first defeated Preston North End by 3-1 and then dominated Stoke City by 5-0 in a behind-closed-doors fixture. The Arne Slot-led side will be looking to extend their winning run here, but the upcoming game is not going to be an easy affair for them.

 

 

 

 

 

AC Milan are coming in after their loss against Arsenal in their last pre-season friendly match. Massimiliano Allegri has been appointed as their new manager, and the Rossoneri have already looked better under his playing style. The Italian giants used an unusual defensive lineup, but still conceded a goal to lose the game.

Players to Watch

 

 

Darwin Nunez (Liverpool)

 

The 26-year-old Uruguayan forward has looked good in the last two matches for Liverpool. Despite not having the best of the season, Darwin Nunez has looked confident on the field and has scored four goals in his last two fixtures for the Reds. For Arne Slot, he will be the first-choice striker against Milan as well.

 

 

 

The Portuguese winger will be looking to step up here. Rafael Leao failed to score any goals for Milan in their loss against Arsenal in their last game. The 26-year-old is a capable player and with the help of his fellow teammates, Leao is going to play a crucial part in the final third for the Rossoneri.
