With the start of the Premier League just around the corner, the ESPN FC crew assess Liverpool's chances of besting Manchester City this season. Jurgen Klopp contends his top players 'don't use Liverpool and then go,' but Shaka Hislop explains why that's not a sure thing. The ESPN FC panel answer your tweets on what they're expecting from Liverpool this season, who should captain Arsenal and much more. Jurgen Klopp says Xherdan Shaqiri's first appearance for the Reds surpassed his expectations. Xherdan Shaqiri comes on in the second half to set up Daniel Sturridge and score a brilliant bicycle kick as Liverpool take down Manchester United 4-1.
Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson Becker will make his debut in Saturday's friendly against Napoli, manager Jurgen Klopp has said.
The 25-year-old Brazil international joined from AS Roma last month, smashing the world-record transfer fee for a goalkeeper in a deal worth up to £64 million.
Alisson started training with Liverpool earlier this week following a break after Brazil's World Cup campaign.
"It's pretty likely [he'll make his debut]. We should not waste time," Klopp told Liverpool's website.
"Then it'll be nearly a week, or six days in training, since he [started] and yes, he will play."
Liverpool play their final preseason friendly against Italian side Torino on Aug. 7, five days before hosting West Ham United in their Premier League opener.
