Liverpool pre-season schedule in 2014-2015

by

Liverpool are arriving to this new season with their eyes set not only in the domestic competitions, but also in the UEFA Champions League. After a year where they were left out of any European action, the 2nd place they earned in the English Premier League last season has allowed the Reds to get a direct entrance into the glamorous Champions League edition of this year. Anfield will have those magical European nights back and the fans couldn’t be more excited about it…

The Reds have started their pre-season with games against Brondby and on July 16 against Preston North End, on July 19. They were defeated in the first by 2-1, but they already managed to get into the winning track 3 days later, when they beat Preston by the same 2-1 result.

They are now already preparing their US tour, where they will be playing 4 to 5 friendlies, most of those part of the International Champions Cup. They’ll take on AS Roma in Boston on July 23, Olympiacos in Chicago on July 27, Manchester City in New York on July 30 and finally AC Milan in Charlotte on August 2. If they do well in this US tournament, they may still qualify to the final, which is planned to be played on August 4.

On August 10, Liverpool will host Borussia Dortmund at Anfield Road, precisely 7 days before the kickoff of the English Premier League. On August 17, Liverpool‘s first official fixture will be a home league game against Southampton.
