Watch Greuther Furth vs Liverpool Pre season friendly

The Reds conclude their pre-season training camp in Germany with the latter of two friendlies against second-tier opposition this afternoon.

Jurgen Klopp’s side travel to take on Greuther Furth in a match that is being played behind closed doors, before heading to Singapore for tougher tests against Bayern Munich and Leicester.

Liverpool saw off Furth’s domestic rivals Karlsruher last week, with a late brace from substitute Diogo Jota sealing a deserved 4-2 victory after earlier efforts from Darwin Nunez and Cody Gakpo.

A similarly goal-laden performance will be expected today against a team that finished 12th in the 2.

Bundesliga last season before they step up in intensity in southeast Asia as their high-profile Premier League opener against Chelsea gets closer.

Jurgen Klopp’s thoughts
Jurgen Klopp is looking forward to a unique aspect of the stadium largely being empty.

Unlike last Wednesday’s 4-2 friendly win at Karlsruher SC, which saw 34,000 fans in attendance, the latest game is being played behind closed doors.

“What you need in these games is resilience because we’re playing a team who one-and-a-half weeks start their season,” said the Liverpool boss.

“They are a decent level, the Championship level in Germany is good, so we have to make sure that we deny them we with all the ideas we have. It’s about how compact we can be and how together we can be.

“What I like about the game today – okay it’s not cool that no supporters are here – is I can hear the coaching of the boys to themselves. I’m really curious about that because it’s super important. Let’s see.”
