Mo Salah, Firmino, Jordan Henderson and new signing Allison are amongst those missing, but can the second string make an impression? Naby Keita is on the bench, how will he do?

Wow, what a second-half.
Hard to believe that Liverpool led at the break, considering the final score. Dortmund, inspired by the American Christian Pulisic, scored three times in the second-half to turn the game on its head.
The Reds created several opportunities but were again vulnerable in defence. Not a productive night for Jurgen Klopp.

GOAL! Liverpool 1-3 Dortmund
Pulisic twists and turns, creating space to shoot; Karius can only parry the ball into the path of Larsen who taps the ball into an empty net.
90'
What a performance from Pulisic. The American fans are loving it; 'USA, USA' is the chant from the stands.
Anyway, there will be FOUR minutes added on; can Liverpool find an equaliser?

GOAL! Liverpool 1-2 Dortmund
Dortmund break down the left through Schmelzer who cuts it back for Pulisic and the young American guides it into the bottom left corner, leaving the goalkeeper helpless.
87'
Poor defending from Bockhorn - he dives in and Moreno easily slips it past him, but Gotze makes a timely interception.
85'
Remember, if this game ends in a draw there will be a penalty shoot-out.
Liverpool have the chance to win the game as they force a corner... Gomez climbs highest to meet the delivery but his header is straight down the throat of Burki.
82'
Liverpool dominated this contest until the hour-mark but now it's Dortmund who look more likely to win the game. Larsen delivers a cross - there's plenty of bodies forward - but it's Philips who reacts quickest to clear.
81'
The impressive Keita wins a corner for Liverpool. Milner takes but Pieper heads clear.
80'
There is some concern for Burnic now as the Dortmund player limps off for some treatment.
78'
CHANCE!
Solanke delivers a great ball to Moreno with the outside of his foot but he doesn't generate enough power on his shot to trouble Burki.
76'
Sturridge gave Klopp a scare a moment ago, as the Englishman went down and looked in some pain but then gave his manager the thumbs-up.
75'
SHOT!
Keita's cross is only half-cleared, as far as Woodburn who shoots on the spin but it's comfortable for Burki.
74'
Nice idea from Bockhorn as he tries to slip through to Gomez, but he slightly overcooks the pass and it runs out harmlessly for a goal-kick.
72'
We are back underway in the sweltering heat. It may only be a friendly but you can get the feeling Liverpool are desperate to win this contest.
69'
And now it's time for a water break, the second of the match.
67'
How on earth did that happen? Liverpool spurned two, maybe three golden opportunities just minutes before Dortmund's equaliser. The Bundesliga side have barely had a kick since the restart.

GOAL! Liverpool 1-1 Dortmund
A clever, cool and confident spot-kick from Pulisic as he chips it down the middle. That won't do the young American's reputation any harm.

PENALTY TO DORTMUND!
Pulisic runs into Klavan inside the box... the referee says penalty! Looks soft.

CROSSBAR!
How did that not go in? A strong tackle from Woodburn in midfield prompts another Liverpool attack. Sturridge takes over, threading a lovely through-pass to Ojo whose shot is deflected onto the crossbar by the feet of Burki.

CLOSE!
Another short corner catches Dortmund off-guard! Milner is allowed space to cross but this time Solanke heads wide from point-blank range.
