What is at stake for Liverpool and Como?

Sunday's friendlies will mark Liverpool's final action of the summer before their Premier League campaign kicks off against Newcastle United on August 23.

Iraola's side have shown glimpses of their potential in pre-season, but the squad is still getting to grips with the new manager's demands, and the Reds have struggled to maintain their levels across a full 90-minute contest so far.

With that in mind, the hosts' endurance will be put to the test in Sunday's double-header, which will serve as good preparation for the intensity of next weekend's showdown at St James' Park.

Meanwhile, Como are building towards their own league opener against Udinese next Saturday, and a strong showing against Champions League-level opposition would give the club a major boost.

Fabregas's men may be the underdogs on paper, but they were competitive against Arsenal in their most recent clash, and are yet to lose any of their five friendlies outright this summer.
