Two clubs looking to return to form will do battle today in a friendly between Brisbane Roar and Liverpool. The match scheduled for 4:45 a.m. ET will be held at Suncorp Stadium in Brisbane and can be live streamed here.
What They're Saying
Brisbane Roar midfielder Steven Lustica (via A-League): "This is definitely up there. We're very excited, it's a massive game for us, for Brisbane Roar. Even for Australia as well. There's no better feeling than running out [in front of] a packed stadium. Especially at Suncorp, it's just a great atmosphere there. And against Liverpool, it's going to be extra special. With the Liverpool supporters and our supporters, I think it's going to be a game to remember forever."
Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers (via ESPN FC): "There's not a need for a direct replacement [for Raheem Sterling]. We've brought in a number of really good players, and if you add to that to what we've already got, the balance is good. Players are always going to be wanting to come to Liverpool, but players will move on. The profile of those we've brought in fit the profile of how we want to work. Plus we have players who will better for last season."
Tactical Preview
Player to Watch: One of the aforementioned players Rodgers managed to acquire is Danny Ings. The 22-year-old made 35 appearances for Burnley last season, finishing with 11 goals and four assists.
Liverpool's Projected Lineup (4-4-2): Bogdan; Gomez, Toure, Lovren, Moreno; Lucas, Rossiter, Teixeira, Markovic; Ings, Lambert
