📝 Match Preview
AC Milan has already seen action in the Far East this week, while this will be Liverpool’s second match of the summer, following a 3-1 victory over Preston North End earlier in the month.
Under Arne Slot, Liverpool is aiming to build on their dominant Premier League title win. The Dutch manager is actively shaping the squad with significant new additions this summer, including Hugo Ekitike, Milos Kerkez, Jeremie Frimpong, and English record signing Florian Wirtz. These transfers highlight Liverpool's ambition to retain their title and push for more success.
Their recent 3-1 win against Preston was their first outing since the tragic passing of fan favourite Diogo Jota. The Reds are now on a brief Asia tour, with a match against Japanese side Yokohama F. Marinos next week, before returning home to face Athletic Bilbao and then the Community Shield against Crystal Palace.
This friendly marks Massimiliano Allegri’s second game back in charge of the Rossoneri after 11 years. Milan faced Arsenal earlier this week, losing 1-0 in regular time but winning the penalty shootout 6-5. Allegri faces a significant rebuilding task following a dismal eighth-place finish in Serie A last season, which means no European football for Milan next season.

📰 Team News
Liverpool Squad Update
Slot handed debuts to Frimpong, Kerkez and goalkeeper Giorgi Mamardashvili in the win over Preston. Liverpool fans will be keen to see Wirtz in a red shirt for the first time. Virgil van Dijk, Alexis Mac Allister, Luis Diaz, Alisson and Ibrahima Konate were all absent for the friendly against Preston, but have travelled with the squad, and should be involved in some capacity.
AC Milan Squad Update
After losing Reijnders and Hernandez, Rafael Leao continues to be linked with a move away, but the Milan number 10 remains a Rossoneri player for now, and started against Arsenal. Big money has been spent on rebuilding their midfield, with Samuele Ricci coming in alongside veteran Luka Modric. Santiago Gimenez is the only player doubtful after his Gold Cup commitments, but with Luka Jovic, Tammy Abraham and Francesco Camarda all departing, there was no recognised striker in their side against Arsenal.
📋 Probable Lineups
Liverpool Possible Starting Lineup:
- Mamardashvili
- Frimpong, Konate, Gomez, Kerkez

🔮 Match Prediction
Given Liverpool's strong pre-season form, their recent dominance over Milan, and the significant strengthening of their squad, they appear to be in a more advanced stage of their preparations. AC Milan, still in the early phases of a major rebuild, is likely to find it challenging against a cohesive and potent Liverpool side.
Final Prediction: Liverpool 3-1 AC Milan
