Liverpool FC wind up the United States leg of their preseason schedule with an international friendly match against Italian power AS Roma, a game that will stream live from the American heartland of St. Louis, Missouri, and which Liverpool hope will get them ready for a Premier League campaign that would see them crack the coveted top four for the first time since 2014 — but only the second since 2008.

AS Roma, on the other hand, placed third on the Italian Serie A table in the 2015-2016 and will be returning to UEFA Champions League play for the third straight season.

Liverpool under new Manager Jurgen Klopp placed eighth in the Premier League last season and will not taking part in European football at all in the upcoming season — fate that is particularly excruciating because Klopp led Liverpool all the way to the final of the UEFA Europa League, a grueling touranment, only to lose to Sevilla by a 3-1 score.

A victory in the Europa League final would have carried with it an automatic Champions League berth.

And adding insult to injury, Liverpool fans caused crowd trouble, setting of fireworks in the stands at St Jakob-Park in Basel, Switzerland, leading to a fine of £13,390 — about $17,750 — against their club.

The game will be the second preseason friendly match for Liverpool against AS Roma in the past three years — both of them played in American baseball parks.

In 2014 the two European giants met in Boston, Massachusetts, at Fenway Park, home of the Boston Red Sox. This time, the clubs will face off at Busch Stadium in St. Louis, home ground of the St. Louis Cardinals Major League Baseball team.

Liverpool come into the friendly match off a stirring 2-0 win over elite Spanish side AC Milan in Santa Clara, California. Watch highlights of that game, part of the perseason International Champions Cup event, in the video below.
