With pre-season friendlies already planned in Germany and Singapore, Liverpool have now pencilled in at least one warmup game in England. But plans are already in place for pre-season, which will begin – for those who are not set for international duty – at the AXA Training Centre on July 8. ??s internationals will return soon after, before a training camp in Germany which will take in two friendlies, with Karlsruher SC slated as opponents for one of those games on July 19 and 24. A commercial tour of Singapore then follows, which will include meetings with (July 30) and Bayern Munich (August 2).

But ??s Mike Keegan reports that the club are in talks with Championship side Preston over holding a friendly on August 7.



To that end, Keegan adds that Preston have requested to be the away side for their first game of the season, to enable them to accommodate a money-spinning Liverpool friendly.



Liverpool and Preston met in a pre-season friendly at Deepdale in 2013, with a 4-0 win for Brendan Rodgers’ side earning the ‘Shankly Shield’.
