Liverpool begin life without long-serving skipper Jordan Henderson when they meet Leicester City in Sunday's friendly at the Singapore National Stadium.
The 33-year-old has joined Saudi Arabian side Al Ettifaq in a £12m switch, ending a distinguished 12-year stay on Anfield, eight of which saw him don the armband.
Similarly, Fabinho has been left out of Liverpool's 27-man tour squad as Al-Ittihad continue talks over a £40m deal for the Brazilian, while injury victims Stefan Bajcetic and Thiago Alcantara are also sidelined.
The stage is therefore set for Trent Alexander-Arnold to continue in the engine room, where he ought to be joined by Alexis Mac Allister and Dominik Szoboszlai, the latter of whom should be fine after missing the recent 4-4 draw with Greuther Furth due to an ankle issue.
Ben Doak and Diogo Jota were given the nod in attack last time out, but Mohamed Salah and Darwin Nunez - who netted off the bench against Greuther Furth - should now come back into the fold alongside Luis Diaz.
With Alexander-Arnold operating in the middle, Conor Bradley started on the right in Germany, but the 20-year-old - who is nursing a knock - is another notable absentee from the travelling squad amid claims that he is set to extend his Reds stay for another three seasons.
Joe Gomez could therefore return to full-back duties, as Alisson Becker, Virgil van Dijk, Ibrahima Konate and Andrew Robertson complete a formidable rearguard.
Liverpool possible starting lineup: Alisson; Gomez, Konate, Van Dijk, Robertson; Mac Allister, Alexander-Arnold, Szoboszlai; Salah, Nunez, Diaz
