Back on home soil, Wataru Endo will be hopeful of getting some minutes under his belt after sitting out the Milan game because of illness. There is also positive news regarding midfielder Alexis Mac Allister who could be in contention to make his first appearance of pre-season after returning to full training.

Liverpool vs Yokohama FM prediction
Defensively, Liverpool struggled against Milan as all four goals that were conceded came in transition. Slot’s side will not be facing the same standard of quality and will be expected to win convincingly.
Yokohama FM’s domestic struggles means they are relegation battle, with the upcoming clash against Tokyo Verdy arguably of greater importance.
Still, it should be an entertaining friendly with the Premier League champions flexing their superiority.
