How to watch the action as Liverpool take on Lyon in a mid-season friendly in Dubai.

Despite their World Cup absentees, Liverpool retain several of their main stars for these friendlies, with players such as Mohamed Salah and Andy Robertson likely to feature. Lyon were simply woeful in their first Dubai Super Cup match against Arsenal, trailing 3-0 by half-time and offering barely a chance in response as the game wore on. However, Liverpool's seven representatives is relatively low when compared to the rest of the Premier League's top sides, with Manchesters City and United, Chelsea, Tottenham, Arsenal and Brighton all missing more World Cup players than the Reds. Seven members of the Reds' first-team travelled to Qatar with their respective countries, helping to make up five of the 26-man squads at the World Cup. This will help the sides to accumulate points, with the side who finish top of the four-team table crowned champions. Liverpool and Lyon face off at the Al Maktoum Stadium in Dubai, United Arab Emirates on Sunday, December 11. The set of friendlies these two sides are involved in is the 'Dubai Super Cup', and also features both Arsenal and AC Milan. Since then though, Brazil and the Netherlands have both been eliminated in the last eight, meaning Alisson, Fabinho and Virgil van Dijk will be joining Darwin Nunez as the quartet head back to England. These two friendlies will be timely for Klopp's side, who begin their second half of the season in the toughest possible way. The French side are first up for Liverpool, as Klopp and the bulk of his squad look to hit the ground running upon domestic football's resumption. A squad significantly affected by various injuries is slowly coming back to full-strength, with almost all of Liverpool's non-World Cup players attending this mid-season camp in Dubai, harbouring different levels of match-fitness. The game kicks off at 2.00 p.m.

Team news and all the latest updates from our live commentary stream from the Al-Maktoum Stadium as Liverpool face Lyon in the Dubai Super Cup.

It was a proper smash in the face." The biggest plus point of Liverpool's night, he was rock solid on his return to the team. Darwin Nunez will join us tomorrow, the others we see them in England again." Played a mid-season friendly in Dubai in an unfamiliar position at the age of nearly 37 in the exact same way he would have a cup final in his 20s. It looks as though he will be OK to continue. Doak, Stewart, Corness and Chambers also on as Salah, Firmino, Milner, Thiago and Gomez go off. It was a non situation. "It was a big disappointment for all of us and him as well. Early clearance from a low cross was an important one and he never gave either Moussa Dembele or Alexandre Lacazette a sniff. It is a big disappointment for all of us. Kicking off at 2pm, Paul Gorst is our man at the Al-Maktoum Stadium, providing live updates on the action. Went into midfield for the second half.
