In the inaugural unofficial match for Arne Slot, Liverpool will host Preston North End of the Championship at the AXA Training Centre on Friday.
According to journalist David Lynch, the game will be conducted behind closed doors, which implies that it will not be broadcast on television.
Over the past few years, Preston, who are overseen by Ryan Lowe, an ex-Liverpool academy player and coach, have established a positive rapport with the Reds.
Liverpool utilized PNE’s Deepdale Stadium to host SV Darmstadt 98 in pre-season last season as a result of ongoing construction at Anfield. Additionally, the Championship club has loaned players such as Calvin Ramsay and Sepp van den Berg in recent seasons.
Lowe stated earlier this week, “We are fortunate to have the opportunity to visit a Premier League training facility on Friday and compete against a top-tier Premier League team.
“We have today and tomorrow, and on Thursday, we will conduct some activities at the training ground. Subsequently, we will engage in a match against a Premier League team and compete against them.”
“That will be advantageous because we will likely have a smaller portion of the ball.” Again, it is advantageous for us when we are not in possession, and there will be numerous advantageous situations when we are in possession in specific games. We are eagerly anticipating it.
Liverpool will face Real Betis, a Spanish team, in Pittsburgh just over a week after their friendly against Preston.
The remaining games of the US pre-season tour include matches against Arsenal (Philadelphia) and Man United (South Carolina). Slot will have the opportunity to greet the Anfield crowd for the first time before a match against Sevilla at Anfield on August 11.
