Both managers are expected to rotate their squads significantly as they assess their options ahead of the competitive season. Key players like Alisson, Virgil van Dijk, Cody Gakpo, and new signing Victor Munoz may enhance the Liverpool squad following their World Cup commitments. Jeremie Frimpong is likely to be fit after a recent injury scare, while Jeremy Jacquet is being carefully managed.
Meanwhile, Takumi Minamino, a former Liverpool player, is out due to a knee injury and will not play for Monaco. England international Eric Dier is in contention to start.
