FRIENDLIES GAME & THE START OF NEW SEASON




Liverpool have confirmed a pre-season friendly with La Liga runners-up Villarreal, and they are also expected to soon confirm another warm-up game against Rangers at Ibrox.
So far the only date confirmed is the 30 July visit to Villarreal, a side Liverpool could end up facing in the Champions League next season. The match is part of the deal that took the Spain goalkeeper Jose Reina to Anfield in the summer of 2005. Liverpool are also almost certain to be facing a trip to Ibrox to face the Uefa Cup finalists. That date could be 26 July, but there has been no official confirmation. Liverpool will travel to Switzerland in early July for their usual pre-season training camp, where a couple of games against local opposition will be organised.
Liverpool also hope to have a friendly on the weekend prior to the start of the new Premier League season. There are no plans for a pre-season tour to the United States or the Far East, as Liverpool have staged in previous years.
Liverpool enter the Champions League at the third qualifying round stage next season, and the draw will be made on 3 August.
The Premier League starts on 9 August, with the third qualifying round first leg on 12 or 13 August with the second leg on 26 or 27 August, with a prospective group stage starting on 16 or 17 September.
