Having enjoyed a productive tour of the United States, Liverpool are in action at Anfield for the first time this summer as they face Sevilla on Sunday afternoon.
The start of the new Premier League season beckons, with the Reds preparing for their away trip to the newly-promoted Ipswich Town on 17 August. While the club are yet to make a move in the transfer window – although that could soon change – Arne Slot has overseen a bright pre-season which saw Liverpool win all three games across the pond.
Their tour concluded with victories over domestic rivals Arsenal and Manchester United.
An alternate challenge faces them in the form of a Sevilla side also under new management. Garcia Pimienta worked wonders with Las Palmas but a dire end to the season meant a parting of ways was understandable. Pimienta is the fifth manager to take the job since Julen Lopetegui left his post in October 2022.
Sevilla desperately require stability and an improvement on their 14th-place finish in La Liga last season.
