Liverpool will face Huddersfield Town in a behind closed doors friendly at Melwood on Friday.

The game has been organised by Jurgen Klopp in order to provide game time for those who aren’t on international duty and have been short of action so far this season.

Danny Ings is set to feature as he looks to force his way into Klopp’s plans for next Saturday’s Premier League clash with champions Leicester City at Anfield.

Liverpool turned down a number of approaches for the former Burnley striker prior to the transfer window shutting with Klopp adamant he’s required for first-team duty this term.

James Milner, Roberto Firmino, Alberto Moreno, Joel Matip, Lucas Leiva, Kevin Stewart, Tiago Ilori, Alex Manninger, Cameron Brannagan, Connor Randall and Pedro Chirivella are also in contention to face Huddersfield.

With so many players away, a number of Academy youngsters have been training at Melwood this week including the likes of Ovie Ejaria, Joe Maguire, Adam Phillips, Adam Firth, Toni Gomes, Okera Simmonds and Rafael Camacho, who joined the club’s youth ranks from Manchester City this summer.

Ties between Liverpool and Huddersfield have strengthened since Klopp’s close friend David Wagner took over as manager of the Championship outfit last season. The Reds sent Danny Ward there on a season-long loan and also played a pre-season friendly at the John Smith’s Stadium in July which they won 2-0 courtesy of goals from Marko Grujic and Moreno.
