Liverpool continue their preparations for the 2025-26 season with a high-profile friendly against AC Milan in Hong Kong this weekend.

The Reds departed for Asia last Sunday after thrashing Stoke City in a behind-closed-doors friendly at the AXA training centre.

Arne Slot’s side can expect to face a step up in opposition on Saturday, though supporters will be excited to get a first glimpse of a new signing as well as seeing the likes of Florian Wirtz, Jeremie Frimpong and Milos Kerkez in action once again.

This is the first of two matches in Asia for the reigning Premier League champions as they are coming up against Yokohama F.

Marinos in Japan next week.

Milan head into the friendly on the back of a 1-0 defeat to Arsenal in midweek as Max Allegri - back for a second spell in charge - gets to work on the squad he inherited over the summer.

Date, kick-off time and venue

Liverpool vs AC Milan is scheduled for a 12.30pm BST kick-off (UK time) on Saturday, July 26, 2025.

The match will take place at the Kai Tak Stadium, Hong Kong.

Liverpool vs AC Milan team news

Liverpool initially named a 29-man squad for their Asia tour, but there has since been a major addition with Hugo Ekitike completing his move from Eintracht Frankfurt.

The Frenchman has joined up with his new teammates in Hong Kong and should be in line to make an appearance on Saturday.

Alisson, Alexis MacAllister and Luis Diaz could some minutes under their belts, while talented youngster Rio Ngumoha could get another chance to impress after scoring against Stoke last time out.

Milan have reported no fresh injury concerns following the loss to Arsenal but they did confirm the signing of Pervis Estupinan from Brighton on Thursday and it remains to be seen if he will be in contention for a debut against Liverpool.

Liverpool vs AC Milan prediction

Milan, for large spells, gave a good account of themselves against Arsenal but lacked a cutting edge in attack.

That was to be expected with no senior centre-forward named in the tour squad.

Coming up against a Liverpool team that are top-heavy in attack will represent a different task for the Serie A giants entirely.

Of course, the result is not important as Slot will be using this fixture to build up match fitness for his player and also experiment with formation and personnel.

Still, the Reds should have too much quality.

Liverpool to win, 3-0.
