LIVERPOOL take on Sporting Lisbon in their next pre-season friendly but what TV channel is the match on?
Liverpool players complete drills at Fenway Park
Liverpool continue their preparations for the new campaign with a clash against Sporting Lisbon in New York.
The Reds haven’t enjoyed the greatest of pre-seasons, losing the first two games of their American tour.
Jurgen Klopp’s former club Borussia Dortmund handed the Champions League winners a 3-2 defeat before Sevilla claimed a 2-1 win.
Liverpool will be hoping to round off their US trip with a win over the Portuguese outfit before heading to Scotland for the next leg of their tour.
Klopp is still waiting to hear whether new signing Sepp van den Berg can make his debut against Sporting.
The 17-year-old Dutchman joined Liverpool from PEC Zwolle in June but has been unable to feature in any pre-season games as the club await international clearance from FIFA.
Asked about Van den Berg’s hopes of first team football, Klopp said: “It depends. I open the door but the boys have to go through still.
“He is a wonderful player as well, but because of FIFA rules he is not available in the moment, but we have other good players.
“He thought his future should be here and I thought the same, so now he is here and now let’s work together.
“He is 17 years old and when you see him you forget that constantly, but he is 17 and so there is a lot to learn.
“The good thing is he has the most time to do so, so everything will be fine.”
