Liverpool vs Sporting Lisbon LIVE: 2019 commentary stream, TV channel, latest score, line-ups, prediction

Liverpool vs Sporting Lisbon LIVE
USA pre-season tour
Venue: Yankee Stadium, New York City
Kick-off time: 1:05am BST, 8:05pm EDT

Liverpool are still seeking a first US tour win as they close their stateside trip with a New York friendly against Sporting Lisbon.

The Reds fell to a disappointing 2-1 defeat to Sevilla in Boston on Sunday in a match that was overshadowed by a horror challenge committed by Joris Gnagon on teenage left-back Yasser Larouci.

Liverpool XI: Mignolet, Alexander-Arnold, Matip, Van Dijk, Robertson, Fabinho, Henderson, Milner, Wijnaldum, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Origi

Subs: Lonergan, Atherton, Lovren, Gomez, Lallana, Brewster, Kent, Lewis Phillips, Jones, Hoever, Duncan, Woodburb, Wilson, Van den Berg


Prediction: Liverpool 3-1 Sporting Lisbon

Though Klopp does not appear overly concerned by Liverpool's lack of wins in the US, another loss here coupled with a lack of activity in the transfer market might just set a few teeth on edge.

The Reds are still missing their potent attacking trio, but still should have enough firepower to beat a Sporting side also not in the best of form over recent weeks.


Team news, lineups and Liverpool tour squad

Liverpool XI: Mignolet, Alexander-Arnold, Matip, Van Dijk, Robertson, Fabinho, Henderson, Milner, Wijnaldum, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Origi

Subs: Lonergan, Atherton, Lovren, Gomez, Lallana, Brewster, Kent, Lewis Phillips, Jones, Hoever, Duncan, Woodburb, Wilson, Van den Berg

Liverpool remain without first-choice goalkeeper Alisson and key attacking trio Mohamed Salah, Roberto Firmino and Sadio Mane following their respective international exertions at the Copa America and Africa Cup of Nations.

Larouci will not play, though thankfully only sustained heavy bruising to the femur against Sevilla rather than any bone break.

Former Reds Sebastian Coates and Tiago Ilori have travelled with their Sporting team-mates to the US, but Rafa Camacho - who departed Anfield in a £7million deal in June - is not in the squad to face his former club.

Liverpool's tour squad: Nathaniel Clyne, Fabinho, Virgil van Dijk, Gini Wijnaldum, Dejan Lovren, James Milner, Joe Gomez, Jordan Henderson, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, Adam Lallana, Simon Mignolet, Rhian Brewster, Andy Robertson, Divock Origi, Joel Matip, Ryan Kent, Adam Lewis, Nat Phillips, Curtis Jones, Ki-Jana Hoever, Jakub Ojrzynski, Bobby Duncan, Ben Woodburn, Harry Wilson, Yasser Larouci, Trent Alexander-Arnold, Sepp van den Berg, Dan Atherton
