Liverpool and Preston North End have announced a number of tributes in honour of Diogo Jota and his brother, Andre Silva, ahead of Sunday’s (July 13) friendly at Deepdale.

The match will see the Reds take to the pitch for the first time since the pair’s passing last week (July 3).



Supporters attending the match have been asked to be in their seats by 2.45pm ahead of the 3pm kick-off as a mark of respect to the brothers, with tributes then getting underway at roughly 2.50pm.



Claudia Rose Maguire – wife of former Preston player Sean – will first sing a rendition of Can’t Help Falling In Love, which will then be followed by Liverpool’s anthem of You’ll Never Walk Alone.

While the latter is sung, North End captain Ben Whiteman will lay a wreath in front of the visiting supporters in the Bill Shankly Kop, ahead of a minute’s silence just before kick-off.

During the minute’s silence, digital tributes will be displayed on the big screen and across LEDs at Deepdale.

Both sets of players will also wear black armbands in honour of Liverpool striker Jota and Silva, who was a player at Penafiel.

Preston have also created a commemorative edition of the matchday programme that features written tributes to the brothers.

The 16-page matchday programme, dedicated to Jota and Silva, will be free to all supporters with a match ticket on the day.

There will be multiple members of staff around the ground handing out the programmes.

The match will be broadcast on ITV 1 in the UK, on LFCTV and streamed globally on All Red Video, with coverage there beginning at 2.15pm BST.

A pre-match programme will be broadcast live from the stadium across LFC’s social media channels and YouTube until kick-off, when rights restrictions take effect.

Jota and Silva were killed in a car crash after their vehicle veered off the road following a tyre blowout.

They had been travelling across Spain to catch a ferry to return to the United Kingdom ahead of the start of Liverpool's pre-season.

The pair were laid to rest in their hometown of Gondomar last weekend (July 5), with the majority of the Reds first-team squad attending their funeral, along with Arne Slot and a number of Reds officials.

Meanwhile, a memorial site was set up back at Anfield following the brothers' passing, with thousands of supporters laying floral tributes, shirts, scarves, banners, pictures and messages in honour of Jota and Silva.
