Even with Neymar in Rio playing in the Olympics for Brazil, Barcelona still have one of the best collection of players in the world. They've only played two pre-season games so far, but they won both comprehensively, defeating Celtic 3-1 and Leicester City 4-2. After a visit with former manager Brendan Rodgers, now in Scotland overseeing Celtic, Luis Suarez continues his week-long episode of This Is Your Life when he comes back to England with Barca for a Liverpool reunion.
With Liverpool's options in defense severely limited by injuries, fans might get an answer to a question that they never wanted to ask: what can Leo Messi and Luis Suarez do to an Andre Wisdom/Kevin Stewart center-back pairing?
Alex Manninger will likely also be given another half between the sticks two prepare for his new role as the team's number two goalkeeper. Despite the lack of depth in defense, Klopp still has plenty of excellent options to choose from up front, including Sturridge, Ings, Origi, Coutinho, Firmino, and Can. However, with their final match of the pre-season taking place 24 hours later, Klopp will surely be saving some legs for his return to Mainz.
Loris Karius (broken hand), Mamadou Sakho (achilles), Ovie Ejaria (groin), Lucas Leiva (hamstring), Alberto Moreno (thigh), Joe Gomez (achilles), Mario Balotelli (banished to the reserves), and Joël Matip (ankle) are all unavailable. Marko Grujic may yet return to the side after suffering a concussion during the Chelsea game.
It's always exciting to play at Wembley, even for a friendly, and both teams will be determined to do well as the pre-season winds down and the league openers loom.
Kickoff: 12:15PM EST/5:15PM BST (Saturday) from Wembley Stadium, London, England.
