Florian Wirtz, Liverpool: It didn't take long for Liverpool's current record signing to get up to speed with the Premier League, the former Bayer Leverkusen man darting elegantly around the Wembley field in what was an impressive display against Crystal Palace, one in which he laid on a goal for fellow new arrival Hugo Ekitike.

Justin Kluivert and Ryan Christie will miss Bournemouth’s season opener at defending champion Liverpool. Cherries manager Andoni Iraola has ruled them out.

Liverpool's preseason campaign saw them defeat Preston and Athletic Club, but lose to AC Milan. It culminated in the FA Community Shield defeat to Crystal Palace (on penalties) last Sunday, which saw Ekitike and Frimpong score their first competitive goals for the club.
