Haaland is out to boos from the travelling Reds, with a special ovation reserved for Mo Salah as he appeared on the big screens, having now signed a new contract. 32nd min: Nunez is greeted by the Liverpool fans for the first time as he warms up in front of them, with a noise only beaten by the goal celebration so far. 15 mins to KO: Reflecting on the backend of 2021/22, which saw him win the Premier League Golden Boot for a third time in five years but miss out on the quadruple, Salah said in the programme: "I always go into every season wanting to win the Golden Boot and it's one of my favourite awards. It took a slight glance off Ake on the way in, but looked to be heading on target regardless.

He latches onto an error and plays it first time to Henderson, who in return tees up the former Benfica man on the run. Liverpool may only get him for half of the games due to his appalling injury record, but those games will be full of mesmerising control of the ball. A header from Nunez struck the hand of Ruben Dias, with VAR again called to action to award the spot-kick.

In a shortened preseason, it was extremely predictable that this game would be characterised by players slightly off the pace, and yet Thiago looked in midseason form. In a first half understandably full of misplaced passes, poor touches and minor blips of concentration, the Reds struck through Trent Alexander-Arnold. He gave Liverpool a deserved lead with his effort curling outwards onto the back post and in.
