Yokohama F. Marinos v Liverpool live: Friendly score, updates and result as Hugo Ekitike makes debut

17 mins: Liverpool peppering the ball with crosses at the moment, with Wirtz being utilised down the right.

More problems for Yokohama now as Amano hits the deck with an ankle problem.

15 mins: Wirtz gets the opportunity to shoot from range, trying to bend into the right corner but his effort is blocked.

Corner to Liverpool, which the German goes over to take.

12 mins: Nervy moment for new boy Kerkez as he gets closed down by two Yokohama players, allowing them to charge forward with the Reds defence on the retreat.

A delivery is whipped in but Van Dijk gets in the way and hoofs out for a corner.

9 mins: POST! So close for Cody Gakpo!

Ekitike looks really lively and is integral in the build-up as the ball finds the Dutchman on the left side of the box.

Gakpo tries bending one into the far corner but just doesn’t get enough swerve, beating the keeper but hitting the woodwork.

8 mins: CHANCE! Deep free-kick from Yokohama reaches the far post, which is nodded back to Quinones who has peeled into space.

He’s got a free header but can only head wide.

5 mins: A few sloppy fouls being conceded by Liverpool in these opening stages, with Gravenberch and Konate both hacking Yokohama players down.

The Japanese side nearly break in behind from halfway but Szoboszlai recovers well to quell any danger.

2 mins: That didn’t take long for Ekitike to get involved!

Salah tries to slip the Frenchman through, only to run out of room on the byline.

Yokohama then go up the other end as an acrobatic volley is well hit, but Bradley gets in the way.

A pretty spectacular atmosphere as both teams made their way out under the Nissan Stadium lights.

Arne Slot has named a very, very strong side to face Yokohama, who are admittedly struggling in the J1 League this season.

Just five minutes until we get underway in Yokohama.

After defeat last time out to AC Milan, can Liverpool end their pre-season tour of the Far East on a high?

We’ll have all the action, up next.
