Liverpool will face Athletic Club in an Anfield double-header on Monday, August 4, five or six days before taking on Crystal Palace in the Community Shield and around two weeks before kicking off the new Premier League season.

The Reds will take on AC Milan in Hong Kong and then Yokohama Marinos in Japan.

With the Reds not involved in the Club World Cup, Slot and his players will have a full summer to prepare on the training field ahead of attempting to retain their Premier League crown.



The league fixtures will be released a week on Wednesday, on June 18.
