Watch Liverpool Vs. Borussia Dortmund Live Stream: International Champions Cup, Start Time, Watch Live Online
The high-profile preseason International Champions Cup competition continues Sunday when UEFA Champions League finalists Liverpool make their 2018 debut in the globe-spanning event, facing the Bundesliga team formerly managed by current Reds boss Jurgen Klopp, Borussia Dortmund, in a match that will live stream from Charlotte, North Carolina.
Both teams will get a run in the UEFA Champions League again this season, with Liverpool finishing fourth in the English Premier League, and Borussia Dortmund also placed fourth in the German top flight, as Sky Sports records. The last time the two sides met in a competitive match came in the second-tier European competition, the UEFA Europa League, in 2016, when the Premier League side won the two-legged quarterfinal tie on aggregate.
Liverpool has already played four preseason friendlies in England, and each saw Klopp take full advantage of the mass substitutions allowed in warm-up matches, fielding what amounted to completely different teams in each half of every game, according to the Liverpool FC official news site.
Klopp plans to take essentially the same approach in Sunday’s match, despite the higher profile of the game which will be played in the United States.
“It looks like we will maybe change again in half-time completely [for] the last time maybe, but like I said, we have to settle [in the U.S.] first and foremost,” Klopp said. “Then of course so far we’ve trained a lot, big intensity, long sessions, all that stuff.”

Senegalese winger Sadio Mane will also sit out the game, despite accompanying the team to North Carolina for the start of Liverpool’s U.S. tour.
