Liverpool vs Sevilla Yalla Shoot
Liverpool wrap up their preseason preparations with a match against Spanish side Sevilla at Anfield on Sunday[3]. The Reds, fresh off a successful tour of the United States where they defeated rivals Arsenal and Manchester United, will be looking to continue their winning form heading into the new Premier League season.
Team News and Predicted Lineups
Arne Slot will welcome back several key players who missed the U.S. tour, including Virgil van Dijk, Alisson, and Trent Alexander-Arnold[1][5]. The Liverpool manager is expected to field a strong starting XI close to what he'll select for their Premier League opener against Ipswich Town next weekend.
Alisson; Alexander-Arnold, Quansah, Van Dijk, Tsimikas; Mac Allister, Jones; Salah, Elliott, Gakpo; Jota[5]
Sevilla, under new manager Garcia Pimienta, may hand debuts to recent signings Lechihean and Luc Agoume[1]. However, they will be without several players including Albert Sambi Lokonga and Loic Bade due to injury and international commitments[2].
Nyland; Angel, Nianzou, Gudelj, Pedrosa; Saul, Sow, Bueno; Lukebakio, Romero, Ocampos[2]
Score Prediction
Liverpool, boosted by the return of their star players, are expected to have too much for Sevilla at Anfield[1][2]. The Reds' impressive pre-season form, coupled with Sevilla's instability and absences, points to a comfortable victory for the home side[1][2].
We say: Liverpool 3-1 Sevilla
With Slot's first-choice lineup set to feature, Liverpool should secure a convincing win in their final friendly before the new season kicks off next weekend. Sevilla, still finding their feet under a new manager, will likely struggle against the Reds' attacking firepower.
