Christian Benteke and Roberto Firmino make their first appearances in Liverpool shirts on Sunday afternoon as Brendan Rodgers’ side take on Swindon Town in their final pre-season friendly of the summer at the County Ground.
The Reds are unbeaten in pre-season and today’s game comes less than 24 hours after a comfortable 2-0 victory over HJK Helsinki in Finland.
The only player to potentially be involved in both games is Pedro Chirivella, who was a late substite in Helsinki, but Emre Can makes his first appearance of the summer after missing the tours of Asia and Australia due to international commitments.
There’s a run out for first team regulars Alberto Moreno, Mamadou Sakho, Lucas Leiva, Lazar Markovic and Joe Allen, whilst youngster Trent Alexander-Arnold and new signing Adam Bogdan also start.
Both Liverpool players on loan at Swindon Town for the season start against the Reds — Jordan Williams and Kevin Stewart.
The players will not be wearing squad numbers during the game.
Liverpool: Bogdan, Alexander-Arnold, Moreno, Toure, Sakho, Lucas, Markovic, Can, Benteke, Allen, Firmino.
Substitutes: Fulton, Cleary, Ojo, Chirivella, Maguire, Kent.
Swindon Town: Trialist, Thompson, Williams, Turnbull, Ormonde-Ottewill, Traore, Kasim, Stewart, Byrne, Obika, Hylton.
Substitutes: TBC
