Overview
- Liverpool announced on Tuesday that they will finish pre-season with home games against AS Monaco on August 9 and Como on August 16.
- The fixtures follow a two-week United States tour that includes matches against Sunderland in Nashville, Wrexham in New York, and Leeds United in Chicago.
- Como will make its first-ever trip to Anfield after a rapid rise that saw Cesc Fàbregas move into management and the club finish fourth in Serie A to qualify for the Champions League.
- Liverpool are reported to be in talks to appoint Andoni Iraola as head coach, and the club’s pre-season programme is likely to be an early opportunity to see his tactical approach and any new signings.
- Tickets for the two Anfield friendlies are due to go on sale imminently with reported prices from about £35 for general-adult sale and reduced rates for eligible members and under-16s.
