Liverpool continued their pre-season preparations against AC Milan at Kai Tak Sports Park in Hong Kong on Saturday, and Arne Slot named some big hitters in his starting lineup. New £79million striker Hugo Ekitike was absent from the squad, as were injured duo Alexis Mac Allister and Joe Gomez, as the Reds began their tour of Asia.

Liverpool’s tributes to Diogo Jota will continue today, with players wearing special shirts containing a patch saying ‘Diogo J. 20’. There will be a floral tribute before kick off, too.
