Liverpool will take on Darmstadt in a pre-season friendly match at the Deepdale Stadium on Monday. The Reds lost a game for the first time in the ongoing pre-season when they suffered a defeat against Bayern Munich in their most recent outing. Jurgen Klopp and Co. will be looking to get themselves ready for the impending Premier League opener.
Darmstadt recently won promotion back into the Bundesliga after a six-year absence. They are winless in this pre-season but will be hoping to get a win in the bag ahead of their much-anticipated Bundesliga return.

Liverpool team news
With just one pre-season match remaining, Klopp is likely to select his usual first-choice players for the upcoming season. This means that Luis Diaz, Darwin Nunez, and Ibrahima Konate are probable candidates for a return.
Alexis Mac Allister had to leave the field during halftime in the defeat against Bayern due to an injury. However, he has recovered in time to be able to feature in the friendly.
Liverpool Predicted XI: Alisson; Alexander-Arnold, Konate, Van Dijk, Robertson; Mac Allister, Jones, Szoboszlai; Salah, Nunez, Diaz

Darmstadt team news
Darmstadt is currently grappling with a less than desirable set of unavailable players before the upcoming season begins. The defensive trio consisting of Emir Karic, Jannik Muller, and Frank Ronstadt are all currently sidelined due to injuries.
Additionally, the attacking pair of Aaron Seydel and Oscar Vilhemsson are contending with muscle-related issues. This might create an opportunity for Fraser Hornby, who was acquired from Reims this summer, to join the offensive lineup.
Darmstadt Predicted XI: Schuhen; Klarer, Zimmermann, Maglica; Bader, Gjasula, Nurnberger, Holland; Mehlem, Honsak; Hornby
| Position | Players |

| Forwards: | Gjasula, Hornby, Seydel, Vilhelmsson, Stojilkovic |
Head-to-Head Record
