A number of Liverpool stars were involved with their country in the summer but everyone has returned to first team training barring Sadio Mane.

Star defender Virgil Van Dijk will once again be the star attraction for Liverpool as he looks to keep the City strikers at bay. Xherdan Shaqiri may not be involved from the start but should get his opportunity as the game progresses. Liverpool vs Manchester City, 2019 FA Community Shield Match Preview: Guardiola Urges City to Strike Early Blow Against Liverpool.

In midfield, Kevin De Bruyne and new signing Rodri could test Liverpool with their powerful runs and link up play with the forward.
