Anfield gets one more pre-season run-out this summer as Liverpool FC take on Como on Sunday, August 16, 2026. It’s the perfect final tune-up before the Reds dive into a new Premier League campaign under Andoni Iraola, and Como arrive full of Serie A confidence after a strong 2025-26 finish.
Liverpool head into this one on the back of a mixed pre-season — a 2-4 loss to Leeds and a 1-0 win over Wrexham — while Como have been building nicely under their own project. Expect a lively, high-tempo friendly with both sides testing squad depth ahead of the real action. Sky Sports

Team News & Likely Lineups
Iraola is expected to rotate heavily, giving fringe players and academy prospects minutes at Anfield. Como, meanwhile, will look to field a settled XI to build match sharpness before their Serie A opener.

Prediction
On current pre-season form, Liverpool should have the edge at home, but with squad rotation likely on both sides, expect goals at either end rather than a clinical scoreline. A narrow Liverpool win or an entertaining draw looks the most probable outcome.
