Liverpool continue their pre-season campaign by taking on AC Milan in the first match of their Asian tour on Saturday.
The Reds have already beaten Championship opposition after 3–1 and 5–0 victories over Preston North End and Stoke City respectively, but face much sterner tests in the coming weeks. A repeat of the 2005 and 2007 Champions League finals will prove a much tougher challenge for Liverpool, who have won their last three meetings with the Italian side.
Arne Slot’s side will face Yokohama F. Marinos in their other pre-season friendly in Asia, before returning to Anfield for two meetings with Athletic Club on Monday, August 4. The Reds will then contest the Community Shield against Crystal Palace before beginning their Premier League campaign at home to Bournemouth on Friday, August 15.
Milan enter Saturday’s duel having already lost to English opposition this summer. Arsenal beat Massimiliano Allegri on his return to the dugout on Wednesday, with Bukayo Saka’s solitary goal downing the Rossoneri. Milan will play more Premier League sides before the Serie A season commences, with friendlies against Leeds United and Chelsea scheduled.
