Nat Phillips not in either team for the 30 minute friendlies. Could be absolutely meaningless. I do wonder if he is likely to go to Brighton to replace Ben White though.
In terms of our front three (and back-ups) I think we'll be looking at Firmino, Mane, Salah, Jota (all 4 a given) with Elliott and one other possibly making up the 2 remaining spots. Perhaps (keeping an eye on the future) we'll look at bringing someone like Hlozek in?
In terms of the future and contracts (the "priority" issue has come up when it comes to our lack of imminent push to extend Henderson's contract) of the attacking players, we'll be desperate to extend Salah's and I suspect will pick one of Mane or Firmino's to extend, but not both. Then we'll either accept a transfer fee at the end of the 21/22 for said player (let's say it's Firmino, with Jota pushing through to take his first-team spot) or just play them until contract expiry a la Can/Wijnaldum.
