How to Watch Liverpool vs Como 1907 Live in India: Streaming Details and Schedule

Liverpool FC is set to host Como 1907 for two matches on Sunday, August 16, at Anfield, a unique scheduling quirk that has become a tradition for the club during pre-season. This arrangement allows teams to maximize player participation without extending their travel commitments during a busy summer schedule. The first match will take place behind closed doors, providing an opportunity for fringe players and academy talents to showcase their skills. The second match, which is the main event, will feature the senior squad in front of a full crowd.

This marks the third consecutive summer that Liverpool has organized same-day double fixtures, having previously faced Athletic Bilbao, Sevilla, and Las Palmas in similar setups. The team, under the guidance of manager Andoni Iraola, is eager to secure a clean result after experiencing back-to-back defeats against Leeds United and Monaco, the latter being Iraola's debut at Anfield. Despite the setbacks, players like Florian Wirtz and Alexander Isak showed promise during the Monaco match. New defensive signing Ronald Araujo, who joined from Barcelona last week, is expected to make his debut in one of the matches.

However, Liverpool will be without several key players due to injuries, including Joe Gomez, Giovanni Leoni, Jayden Danns, Hugo Ekitike, and Conor Bradley. Concerns linger regarding the team's depth and their ability to adapt to Iraola's demanding tactics, particularly in light of ongoing discussions about forward recruitment, especially in finding a suitable replacement for Mo Salah.

Como 1907, managed by Cesc Fabregas, arrives in Merseyside following a hard-fought 1-1 draw against Arsenal, which they ultimately lost in a penalty shootout. The Italian side is on an upward trajectory after finishing fourth in Serie A last season, securing their first-ever Champions League campaign. This match will mark the inaugural meeting between Liverpool and Como, and the Italian club will be looking to build on their recent performance against the Premier League champions, despite being caught off guard while attempting to play out from the back.

Both matches are scheduled for Sunday, August 16. The closed-doors encounter will kick off at 11:30 a.m. BST (4:00 p.m. IST) at Liverpool’s AXA Training Centre, while the main fixture will commence at 6:00 p.m. BST (10:30 p.m. IST) at Anfield. The first match will not be available for streaming, but the second match will be broadcast globally on LFCTV, with Indian viewers able to catch the action on FanCode.
