After careful consideration, Liverpool’s pre-season opener at Preston North End will proceed as planned this Sunday. The fixture will include special tributes to Jota and Silva, and marks the start of a busy summer schedule for the Reds.
Ahead of the 3pm kick-off at Deepdale, there will be an emotional rendition of ‘You’ll Never Walk Alone’ and Preston will lay a wreath alongside the away supporters.
Both sets of players will wear black armbands, a minute’s silence will be observed in Diogo Jota and Andre Silva’s memory and digital tributes will be displayed on the screen and across pitchside LEDs.
Preston have also created a commemorative edition of the matchday programme that features written tributes to Diogo and Andre.
The match will be televised live on ITV in the UK and on LFCTV and the All Red.
