Who will win Liverpool vs. Athletic Bilbao

Liverpool should be expected to win given the first match at Anfield considering they will have home advantage and are likely to field a strong XI ahead of their Community Shield game against Palace.

However, the Reds’ team in the second fixture could be disjointed due to a number of changes, and it may lead to two contrasting results.

Arne Slot is certain to select Hugo Ekitike and Florian Wirtz on Monday, with the pair wanting to make their Anfield debuts as Liverpool players, though Joe Gomez‘s Achilles injury is likely to keep him out of the starting lineup.

Athletic Bilbao boss Ernesto Valverde will want star forward Nico Williams as prepared as possible for 2025-26, so expect the winger to feature.
