The first of the newly appointed manager of Liverpool ended in 1-0 defeat to the English championship side Preston North End
Liverpool had the field dominance and the most chances against Preston, but the visitors ran away with the victory.
Robbie Brady scored the only goal of the game, firing home from 40 yards.
Arne Slot used 25 players in the practice match and fielded two different teams before and after the break.
Among others, Mohamed Salah and the Dutchman Sepp van den Berg – who is of interest to PSV – were given playing minutes.
Several Copa America and European Championship players were still missing from Liverpool.
For example, Orange players Cody Gakpo, Virgil van Dijk and Ryan Gravenberch were not there yet.
The English internationals Joe Gomez and Trent Alexander-Arnold were also absent.
Slot will travel to the United States with Liverpool later this month, where friendly matches against Real Betis, Arsenal and Erik ten Hag’s Manchester United await. Betis will be the first opponent of ‘The Reds’ on 26 July.
