Fresh off winning the FA Community Shield on Saturday, Liverpool will host Strasbourg at Anfield in their final pre-season friendly on Sunday.
This will also be the visitors’ final pre-season outing ahead of their Ligue 1 curtain-raiser against Monaco on August 6.
Liverpool kicked off their 2022-23 campaign with a bang, claimed a 3-1 victory over Manchester City in the Community Shield on Saturday evening.
New signing Darwin Nunez rose to the occasion, winning a penalty in the 82nd minute before putting the icing on the cake with a 94th-minute header. The Reds will now play their final pre-season game on Sunday ahead of their Premier League opener against Fulham on August 6.
Meanwhile, Strasbourg suffered their first defeat of the pre-season when they were beaten 2-1 by Italian side Cagliari.
Before that, the Ligue 1 outfit picked up two wins and as many draws from their opening four friendlies. Strasbourg head into Sunday’s game on a run of three wins from their last ten away games across competitions since the start of February.
