Although football is pretty far from the minds of many in the Liverpool community, preseason starts today. Perhaps it is for the best; we cannot continue to live our lives in constant grief, and slowly returning to normality after tragedy is part of the healing process.

Premier League champions Liverpool will play their first game of their pre-season campaign since the tragic passing of Diogo Jota against hosts Preston North End on Sunday at Deepdale.

Preston North End are ready to host Liverpool in a club friendly fixture. The Lillywhites are going to face the Reds after a long time.
