The game will start at 1:05am UK time on Saturday but at 8:05pm on Friday night in Indiana in a fixture pitting Liverpool against Bundesliga giants Dortmund.
At this stage, with a couple of 45-minute appearances under their belts, some players will be hoping for at least 60 minutes of action against Klopp's former club.

Why A Left Wing Stint Could Be The Making of Brewster
Rhian Brewster’s encouraging pre-season continued last Sunday as the forward scored for the second consecutive game in Liverpool’s 3-1 victory over Bradford City.
Following on from his brace against Tranmere Rovers, the 19-year-old has now registered three goals in his first two senior outings for Liverpool.
The level of opposition must be taken into consideration when appraising Brewster’s performances, with Tranmere -- recently promoted to England’s third tier -- and Bradford, a League Two club, clearly not providing the most …
Liverpool's wonderkid approach will lead to success
It seems to the case every single year now but this summer transfer window had the potential to be the biggest in the clubs history. With Liverpool just needing to make subtle tweaks to a squad that amassed 97 points and a sixth European Cup, it was, on paper at least, a much easier task than in years gone by.
The Reds didn’t need a £60million-rated goalkeeper being courted by many of Europe’s elite. They didn’t need to part with …
Jurgen Klopp delights in example shown by James Milner
Jurgen Klopp has lauded Liverpool's veteran midfielder James Milner's attitude as "fantastic" as the former Leeds and Aston Villa player displays incredible levels of fitness again this summer.
Liverpool's number 7, Milner, arrived on a free transfer from Manchester City in the summer of 2015, just months before Klopp took over from the outgoing Brendan Rodgers.
In the four years since, Milner has been a model professional at the club, setting an example for everyone else to follow, as well …
Divock Origi is Underrated
Divock Origi is underrated.
His goalscoring exploits in the Champions League last term mean fans will always look at him through rose-tinted glasses. A cult-hero for life, the Belgian doesn’t have to do anything in his Liverpool career now.
However, there are some who believe he didn’t deserve his new contract and that he should’ve been sold this summer while his stock was at its highest. There perhaps is an element of truth to that.
After all, Origi was barely …
Why taking Coutinho back makes a lot of sense
It's the transfer rumour that just won't go away. The will he, won't he. The shall we, shan't we. Does the heart rule the head or is it the other way around.
The summer saga (for want of a better word) for Liverpool fans this summer is whether their fallen hero, Philippe Coutinho, will make a dramatic return to Anfield after what has proven to be an ill-fated 18 months at Barcelona.
After raking in the capital as a result …
Andy Lonergan joins Reds in USA as emergency backup goalkeeper
Former Preston North End and Bolton Wanderers goalkeeper Andy Lonergan will join Jurgen Klopp's Liverpool squad on their trip of the USA.
Lonergan, currently a free agent, was drafted in due to Liverpool's current lack of fit goalkeepers.
First-choice goalkeeper Alisson Becker is still enjoying his summer break after winning the Copa America with Brazil.
Simon Mignolet is the highest-ranking stopper who is available to Klopp for the pre-season friendlies. Young Irishman Caoimhin Kelleher and Vitezslaz Jaros both out injured …
Why Excitement and Patience Need to be balanced with Rhian Brewster
As if Liverpool fans weren't already licking their lips at the prospect of Rhian Brewster playing a part in Jürgen Klopp's plans for the upcoming season already, they certainly are now after the teenager striker bagged a brace in the Reds' first pre-season friendly against Tranmere this week.
While many will be quick to point out that yes, it's only pre-season and yes, it was only Tranmere Liverpool were up against; there's no denying that Brewster looked sharp, dangerous and …
How Hungry Are Liverpool?
The Champions League final in Madrid was an incredible night and was certainly the best way to cap off a fantastic 2018/19 season. I was on the streets of Liverpool with hundreds of thousands of others the following day to witness Jürgen Klopp and his team parade the famous trophy and bask in the glory they’d earned. After the heartbreak of the previous year’s final in Kyiv, and after just falling short in the Premier League title race despite racking …
Werner vs Pepe - who is the better fit for Liverpool?
Not long ago now, Timo Werner was the man the entire Liverpool fanbase wanted the Reds to sign. However, with interest from Bayern Munich well publicised and RB Leipzig seemingly not keen on selling the German international on the cheap despite his contract situation, interest in him waned and a new player replaced him as desirable number one.
Reports in France claimed Jurgen Klopp and the recruitment team at Anfield liked Lille’s Nicolas Pepe. His 22 goal in Ligue 1 …
