It becomes quite boring when you see league rivals face off in the pre-season too. But any fixture between Manchester United and Liverpool is always worth keeping an eye on. The great Premier League rivals have met in a friendly only thrice before, but what makes this one interesting is the fact that it is staged at Michigan's Ann Arbor stadium, where the Red Devils played Real Madrid in front of an unprecedented 109,000 spectators in 2014 to set the record for being the highest attended football game.

Expect the fixture to whip up another massive fanfare. The Reds still have the Champions League final loss vivid in the memory but have added new weapons in the armor to launch a sustained assault on all four fronts.

Klopp has confirmed the prolific frontline of Firmino, Mane and Salah would be featuring in the tour, but attention would also be upon the new arrivals Fabinho and Shaqiri.

United's biggest arrival so far has been Fred, and the Brazilian would be looking to make an early impression with his new colleagues.
