Liverpool team news
Liverpool have been handed some rather timely injury boosts on the eve of the new season.
Thiago Alcantara and Stefan Bajcetic have stepped up their respective recoveries, though are unlikely to feature before the start of the Premier League campaign.
Alexis Mac Allister picked up a knock early on in the Reds' 4-3 loss to Bayern Munich in Singapore and is expected to be fit enough to return.
Questions remain over how Liverpool will replace Fabinho internally, with Curtis Jones beginning the Bayern defeat as the holding midfielder and likely to play that role again here.

Liverpool vs Darmstadt score prediction
Jurgen Klopp's men have been in scintilating form in front of goal this summer and they will be licking their lips at the chance to play opposition like Darmstadt.
That said, Darmstadt had to battle their way through a competitive 2. Bundesliga in order to secure promotion at the end of last season and will put up a fight in the knowledge that this Liverpool side are there to be got at.
Expect plenty of goals at Deepdale this Monday evening.
Score prediction: Liverpool 5-2 Darmstadt
