Arne Slot and Co.

Slot will hope that the starting line-up for the clash at Wembley Stadium will be close to the strongest available for Liverpool throughout the season.

There have been some injury and fitness concerns for Liverpool during pre-season, with Joe Gomez returning from the Far East with an Achilles problem and Federico Chiesa missing the trip entirely with a minor issue.

More recently, Conor Bradley picked up an injury which forced him to miss the double-header against Athletic Bilbao while Virgil van Dijk missed both games through illness and Alisson Becker was also absent.

Despite these setbacks, Slot will hope to have nearly all of the aforementioned players available for the Premier League opener against Bournemouth.

There is also the potential for more new signings to be made ahead of the fixture.

In terms of the line-up against Bournemouth, Slot will hope to call on Alisson for the clash at Anfield.

If Bradley is injured then it's an easy decision, if not then it remains to be seen who the Liverpool head coach will start.
