Supporters attending Liverpool's pre-season friendly double-header against Athletic Club next week have been issued a weather warning as Storm Floris is set to hit the United Kingdom.

After returning from a pre-season tour of the Far East earlier this week, the Reds will entertain the La Liga outfit in back-to-back games at Anfield on Monday night.

The first game between the two sides is scheduled to kick off at 5pm on August 4, with the second and final game of the night slated for a start time of 8pm.

It means supporters who are attending the sell-out clash at Anfield could be impacted by Storm Floris, with winds expected to reach between 40-50mph in some regions.

"There is a small chance that some locations here could even record gusts of 85mph.”
