Liverpool fans will be made to wait to see the new Anfield Road stand up close after the Reds announced plans to play their final pre-season friendly at Deepdale next month.
Jurgen Klopp's men will meet German side SV Darmstadt on Monday, August 7 - six days before their Premier League campaign begins at Chelsea - as they bring their summer schedule to a close at the home of Preston North End. The game will kick-off at 7pm.
With the finishing touches still being put on the 7,000-seat expansion of the Anfield Road end, Liverpool will play their fifth and final friendly in Lancashire before they look to open their gates to crowds of up to 61,000 from mid-August onwards.
