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.

On the pitch, the team lacked consistency in the opening half of the campaign but ended with a four-game winning run.

Liverpool's mid-season fitness drive ramps up with Sunday's Dubai Super Cup clash with Lyon. Jurgen Klopp's side are preparing to return to Premier League ...

The Dubai Super Cup is a four-team competition being played between December 8 and December 16. "The warm weather obviously adds to the fitness and great opposition [Lyon and AC Milan] as well. "It's great for us to get the chance to get some minutes out here," Joe Gomez told Liverpool's official website ahead of the game.

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.

Liverpool 1-1 Lyon LIVE: Alexandre Lacazette equalises following defensive error after Mo Salah misses a penalty and sets up Fabio Carvalho in the FIRST minute ...

'The warm weather obviously adds to the fitness and great opposition [Lyon and AC Milan] as well. Keita to take the fourth for Liverpool and he... Identical to Oxlade-Chamberlain's kick, right into the bottom left corner. It was an odd half of football, that. 'Obviously just getting the training under our legs and the tactical stuff we're doing; it's a real chance to get the fundamentals back in place and use it as a stepping stone to carry on for the rest of the season.' It's a very simple goal - Mo Salah receives the ball inside the box to the right-hand side, draws Lopes out of the Lyon goal and just squares it to his left for Carvalho to tap home. There's statements of intent and then there's statements of intent and this has the definite feel of the latter. And he does! The ball falls to Oxlade-Chamberlain on the left but he can't control it and it rolls out for a goal-kick. It's frantic at the back for Liverpool now, as Gusto muscles Tsimikas off the ball down the right and sends the ball into the box. The Reds are struggling to get out of their own bx at the moment, and it's wave after wave of Lyon attack. Tsimikas steps up first for Liverpool and slams it into the right-hand side to score for the Reds.

Fábio Carvalho was among the Liverpool players to impress against Ligue 1 side Lyon in the Dubai Super Cup. This is what we spotted as Pep Lijnders' plan ...

But this looked like a team that has a point to prove, particularly in the opening half an hour, with plenty of intensity in their work. Lijnders has clearly been working on a plan to get the Liverpool stars back into peak pressing mode again, with his favourite word, 'intensity', on show for portions here. The Spanish youth international was impressive at the heart of the midfield and has the steel in his tackles to match the silkiness of his passes. Quite how much you should read into the team that was named remains to be seen, but Bajčetić did his chances of more game time in the second part of the season no harm. [Harvey Elliott’s](https://www.google.com/url?client=internal-element-cse&cx=015440420724022033189%3Aygf0ckf-78m&q=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.liverpool.com%2Fliverpool-fc-news%2Ffeatures%2Fharvey-elliott-liverpool-world-cup-25560428&sa=U&ved=2ahUKEwjv_-Wt6vH7AhX1XqQEHY2tC00QFnoECAEQAg&usg=AOvVaw3Tn2UHRha8R_SqwxUKZo9z) concern is, but he was taken off after 28 minutes and replaced by [Melkamu Frauendorf](https://www.liverpool.com/liverpool-fc-news/features/liverpool-partnership-formidable-next-steps-22921303) in a move that was clearly not pre-planned.

[Fábio Carvalho](https://www.liverpool.com/liverpool-fc-news/features/liverpool-fabio-carvalho-jurgen-klopp-25310141) netted the opener within a minute of kick-off as Liverpool’s counter-press clicked into gear immediately, and only a mix-up from [Caoimhin Kelleher](https://www.liverpool.com/liverpool-fc-news/features/liverpool-kelleher-adrian-goalkeeper-klopp-19400381) and [Andy Robertson](https://www.google.com/url?client=internal-element-cse&cx=015440420724022033189%3Aygf0ckf-78m&q=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.liverpool.com%2Fliverpool-fc-news%2Ffeatures%2Fandy-robertson-liverpool-klopp-decision-25694645&sa=U&ved=2ahUKEwigpbnc8_H7AhWwTaQEHVOkBt4QFnoECAAQAg&usg=AOvVaw2VN3bUlYiy-7-JASUVr9Oe) at the back allowed Lyon to level late in the half through Alexandre Lacazette.
