The True Thai Premier League All Stars are managed by Kiatisuk Senamuang and recently hosted Chelsea on their post-season tour. Jose Mourinho's side recorded a 1-0 win in Bangkok in late-May in front of a crowd of just under 40,000.

Last Time in Bangkok

The last time the Reds were in Bangkok was in 2013, when a wantaway Luis Suarez featured for the last 30 minutes of a 3-0 win for Rodgers' side. This year, Raheem Sterling didn't make the plane, with Rodgers confirming the 20-year-old's imminent move to Manchester City at a press conference on Monday.

Of the 16 players who featured in the victory two years ago, only eight remain at the club today. Goals were provided by Philippe Coutinho, Iago Aspas and Steven Gerrard—the latter two have left the club, while Coutinho is on holiday after his exploits with Brazil at the Copa America.

As well as Coutinho, compatriot and new signing Roberto Firmino is also not included in the squad, meaning Liverpool fans will have to wait to get their first glimpse of the £29 million man.

Emre Can isn't included after his exploits at the European Under-21s Championship with Germany, while centre-back Tiago Ilori is left out for the same reason.

Academy youngster Jerome Sinclair was left out of the squad amid speculation over his future at the club, and unwanted trio Jose Enrique, Fabio Borini and Mario Balotelli didn't travel either.

Rodgers will, as is normal for early pre-season games, play two different sides in each 45 minutes, especially given the humidity in Bangkok.

That means all the new signings and plenty of the 10 academy players who have been included in the squad will get game time.

New 'keeper Bogdan will get 45 minutes, while Divock Origi will finally get to pull on the Liverpool shirt 12 months after his signing.

Liverpool squad: Mignolet, Bogdan, Fulton, Clyne, Gomez, Lovren, Toure, Wisdom, Moreno, Cleary, Skrtel, Sakho, Maguire, Allen, Henderson, Lucas, Milner, Chirivella, Rossiter, Teixeira, Ibe, Kent, Ojo, Wilson, Lallana, Markovic, Ings, Lambert, Origi.

Potential Liverpool XIs:

Mignolet; Clyne, Skrtel, Sakho, Moreno; Lucas, Milner, Henderson; Ibe, Ings, Lallana

Bogdan; Wisdom, Toure, Lovren, Gomez; Rossiter, Allen, Teixeira; Markovic, Origi, Lambert
