Arne Slot’s Liverpool continue to prepare for their Premier League title defense with a friendly against Yokohama F. Marinos at Nissan Stadium in Japan on Wednesday.
Liverpool are coming off a 4-2 loss to AC Milan in Hong Kong and are undergoing some tumult as Luis Diaz is reportedly heading to Bayern Munich for a medical, fueling talk that the Reds may be readying a new British record bid for Alexander Isak after breaking that record to sign Florian Wirtz earlier this window.

They are managed by Hideo Oshima and led by former Brazil youth international Yan Matheus and Japanese winger Daiya Tono in attack.
