Liverpool confirm squad ahead of Man United game as 37 players named

Liverpool have confirmed the full squad they've taken to the Far East for their pre-season tour, where they're set to face Premier League sides Manchester United and Crystal Palace.

The Reds flew out to Bangkok on Saturday ahead of the clash against their north west rivals on Tuesday. They'll face Palace later in the week on Friday at the Singapore National Stadium.

Liverpool have landed in Bangkok today ahead of their friendly against Manchester United - and Jurgen Klopp could not resist a playful dig on arrival.

The Reds take on their rivals at the Rajamangala National Stadium on Tuesday afternoon, in a game which kicks off at 2pm UK time.
