Liverpool Face Athletic Club in Pre-Season Double-Header at Anfield

Liverpool and Athletic Club are set to face off in an exciting pre-season double-header at Anfield. The Reds hold a competitive edge with a 2-1-1 record in their five previous encounters, including a 1-0 win in their last competitive meeting in 1983. This matchup offers a chance for both teams to fine-tune their squads.

Liverpool after losing to AC Milan bounced back with a 3-1 victory over Yokohama FM. Manager Arne Slot who will be keen to sync his latest recruitment will have a formidable opponent in Athletic Club to test his ideas. On the other hand, Athletic Club is on a three game losing streak as the most recent loss comes to Racing De Santaner in July 2025.
