Liverpool will kick-start their mid-season friendlies when they take on French outfit Lyon. The contest at the Al Maktoum Stadium will be all about Liverpool players improving their match fitness and sharpness ahead of the second half of the campaign. This will be the first time Jurgen Klopp’s side will be in action since defeating Southampton 3-1 in their last match before the World Cup break. Meanwhile, Lyon have already played friendlies but their results have been inconsistent like their form this season.
The Ligue 1 side are placed eight in the standings with 21 points from 15 games. In fact Lyon have won only two of their last five league games. They suffered a 3-0 defeat to a completely changed Arsenal team in their last friendly match. On the other hand, Liverpool seem to be putting behind their poor start to the Premier League season behind them. The Reds won their last two league matches to move up to sixth in the table with 22 points from 14 games. They would be eager to maintain that momentum before the season resumes later this month.
