Preston vs Liverpool LIVE: Reds feature for first time since Diogo Jota's death as both clubs pay tribute

The Suna day ago
LIVERPOOL will take to the pitch this afternoon for the first time since Diogo Jota and his brother Andre Silva tragically died in a car crash in Spain 10 days ago.
The brothers will be commemorated with touching tributes from the two clubs.
Before kick-off, there will be a rendition of Liverpool's anthem You'll Never Walk Alone and Preston will lay a wreath alongside the away supporters.
A minute's silence will be observed in memory of Diogo and Andre, while digital tributes will be displayed on the screen and across pitchside LEDs - and both sets of players will wear black armbands during the match.
Preston are also offering a free 16-page matchday programme dedicated to the late brothers to all supporters with a matchday ticket.
Heartbroken Liverpool players returned for pre-season training on Tuesday after the majority of stars attended Jota's funeral in Portugal last weekend.
