Liverpool are facing Austrian champions Red Bull Salzburg amid their ongoing pre-season, with the friendly to take place at the Red Bull Arena Salzburg, on Wednesday evening.
A strong performance against RB Leipzig where Mohamed Salah's first half goal was followed by four strikes by Darwin Nunez inside the next half to silence his critics is everything that Jurgen Klopp would want his men to build on ahead of Saturday's Community Shield tie against Manchester City.
Whereas, in between the Austrian Bundesliga, Matthias Jaissle's side are coming into the game on the back of a 3-0 win over Austria Wien.
