Liverpool wrap up preparations for the 2023-24 Premier League campaign when they take on Darmstadt in their final friendly schedule on Monday.
Die Lilien will be looking to pick up a morale-boosting result as they kick off the new season with a DFB Pokal first-round clash against FC Homburg on August 14.
Liverpool were handed their first pre-season defeat last Wednesday as they were beaten 4-3 by German Bundesliga champions Bayern Munich at the Singapore National Stadium.
Prior to that, Jurgen Klopp’s men picked up one draw and two wins in their opening three friendlies, beating Karlsrusher and Leicester City in that time.
