Liverpool will step up preparations for the return of Premier League football with a friendly against Blackburn Rovers today.
The Reds’ pursuit of a first Premier League title in 30 years will resume in 10 days’ time when they face local rivals Everton at Goodison Park.
And they will continue readying themselves for that derby fixture by taking on Championship opposition at Anfield today, according to Lancs Live - with Sky Sports listing a kick-off time of 3pm BST.
Jurgen Klopp’s squad began adapting to life behind closed doors earlier this month when they played out a training match at their home ground.
Sadio Mane and Naby Keita scored in a 2-0 win for their XI, as the likes of Joe Gomez, Mohamed Salah and Fabinho suffered defeat.
These outings will prepare the Reds for playing in an empty stadium after they were given the green light to complete their home fixture list at Anfield.
Initial police concerns over public safety had thrown that outcome into doubt, but they have since been assuaged by the club and local forces.
The likes of Arsenal and Chelsea have been playing behind-closed-doors friendly matches at their stadiums in recent days, while Manchester United have held intra-squad 11 vs 11 games at Old Trafford.
