The Reds have bolstered their defense with the loan signing of Ronald Araujo from Barcelona, and the Uruguayan international is anticipated to make his debut at Anfield.
Como enters the Merseyside clash unbeaten in their pre-season schedule. They recently drew 1-1 with Arsenal and narrowly missed out on the Emirates Cup title after a penalty shootout.
Under the management of Cesc Fabregas, Como has recorded two wins and three draws this summer, with their matches consistently featuring both goals scored and conceded.
