Liverpool will kick off their pre-season preparations with a friendly against Sunderland at Nashville's GEODIS Park on Saturday, as part of the Premier League Summer Series.

Goalkeepers: Giorgi Mamardashvili, Freddie Woodman, Vitezslav Jaros, Bailey Hall, Harvey Davies.
Defenders: Joe Gomez, Jeremy Jacquet, Milos Kerkez, Conor Bradley, Giovanni Leoni, Kostas Tsimikas, Jeremie Frimpong, Luke Chambers, Calvin Ramsay, Calum Scanlon, Ifeanyi Ndukwe.
Midfielders: Wataru Endo, Dominik Szoboszlai, Curtis Jones, Harvey Elliott, Trey Nyoni, Josh Abe, Stefan Bajcetic, James McConnell, Kieran Morrison.
