iverpool complete their pre-season preparations on Monday night with a clash against German side Darmstadt.
It has been a rather more disrupted summer than anticipated at Anfield, given the unexpected departures of Fabinho and captain Jordan Henderson, while on the pitch results have been mixed.
Bayern Munich’s last-minute winner in their Singapore friendly last week continued the goal-heavy theme of Liverpool’s schedule with a whopping 25 strikes shared across four games.
Newly-promoted Bundesliga side Darmstadt are the fourth German opponents of the Reds’ summer and they will face off at Deepdale due to the ongoing construction works at Anfield.
Six days after this game, it all gets underway for real when Liverpool take on Chelsea in the Premier League opening weekend.
