When Darwin Nunez could make Anfield debut as Liverpool confirm two pre-season friendlies

Liverpool have confirmed a further two pre-season friendlies as their preparations for the 2022/23 campaign continue to shape up.

The Reds have pencilled in fixtures with RB Leipzig and RC Strasbourg, adding to their meetings with Manchester United and Crystal Palace in Thailand and Singapore, and the Community Shield against Manchester City at the King Power Stadium.

Jurgen Klopp ’s side will travel to Germany to take on Leipzig at the Red Bull Arena on Thursday, July 21, kicking off at 6.15pm, the week after their tour of South East Asia.

Liverpool will then welcome Strasbourg to Anfield on Sunday, July 31 - the day after the Community Shield - in a 7.30pm kick-off. The friendly could see summer signings Darwin Nunez, Calvin Ramsay and Fabio Carvalho all handed unofficial home debuts.

The double-header resembles Liverpool's final pre-season fixtures last summer when they faced Athletic Bilbao and Osasuna on successive days at Anfield in their last outings before the start of the Premier League season.

The Reds get the 2022/23 Premier League campaign underway at Fulham on Saturday, August 6 before their first home game of the season comes the following weekend against Crystal Palace.

Manchester United: Rajamangala Stadium, Bangkok, Tuesday, July 12, KO 2pm
