Sydney FC vs Liverpool
International Club Friendlies
Date: Wednesday, 24th May 2017
Kick-off at 11:00 am UK/ 12:00 CET
Venue: ANZ Stadium, Sydney.
Wednesday night will be a celebration as Liverpool return to Oz to face recently crowned champions of the Hyundai A-League, Sydney FC, in a high-profile friendly at the 82,000-seat ANZ Stadium in Sydney.
Sydney F.C
The Sky Blue finished their domestic season two weeks ago in style by clinching the league title by defeating Melbourne Victory in penalty-shootout.
The team managed by head-coach Graham Arnold will be without their key mid-field player Milos Ninkovic. Also their top scorer Bobo, who netted 15 times this season is unavailable. However, Syndney FC will be the fresher of the two sides, having the extra time to prepare for the match. While the Reds just arrived in Sydney 24 hours prior to the kick-off.
Liverpool FC
Jurgen Klopp will be a delightful man after securing the Champions League qualification spot this season after an ill-fated run in the previous campaign. The team had to fight through thick and thin with injuries to key players being a persistent issue through the 10 months.
The Reds are bringing majority of their star players for the showdown in Sydney. The only absentees are Jordan Henderson, who is injured. While Emre Can and Philippe Coutinho are left out due to their national commitments for the upcoming Confederations Cup in Russia.

The Reds are certainly the stronger of the two teams and a win for them is inevitably. But their defensive vulnerabilities will see Sydney scrap at least a goal during the 90 minutes period.
