Liverpool hosts Monaco in pre-season friendly at Anfield
Summary

Liverpool faces AS Monaco in a pre-season match on Sunday, August 9, 2026, at Anfield. This is Andoni Iraola's first game at Anfield as head coach, following a mixed pre-season tour in the U.S. where they beat Sunderland and Wrexham but lost 4-2 to Leeds. Key players Alisson Becker, Virgil van Dijk, and Cody Gakpo are set to return after missing the U.S. trip. Monaco's pre-season has also been inconsistent with a mix of results. Both teams seek to solidify their tactics ahead of the season while assessing player fitness and performance.
