Liverpool vs Athletic Club preview

With both sides playing two games in the space of two days, it is difficult to predict what kind of line-ups both the managers will go with.

Nevertheless, it seems fairly safe to expect an entertaining game considering the quality of attacking players at Jurgen Klopp’s disposal, with the likes of Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mane both looking sharp so far this summer.

The home defence is also bound to be in for a test considering Athletic’s pre-season form so far, having found the net in all but one of their six friendly fixtures and scored six times in the three most recent games against Borussia Dortmund, Union Berlin and Southampton.
