Liverpool are planning to play a 'home' pre-season friendly at the home of Preston North End, which has led the Championship outfit to ask if they can play their first fixture of the campaign away from Deepdale.
Jurgen Klopp is aiming to give his players one last training game on Monday, August 7 in the UK before the new Premier League season starts on Saturday August 12. Preston's season in the Championship is set to kick-off two days prior to when the friendly at Deepdale has been scheduled for.
There is also the chance that Preston are drawn at home in the Carabao Cup, which would take place on Tuesday, August 8. There is understandable reluctance from their end over using their pitch three times in the space of four days.
