With the 2022 World Cup set to get underway later this week, Jurgen Klopp‘s first team do not play competitively again until December 22, but there are still Liverpool games you can watch during the tournament.
The Reds’ 3-1 Premier League win over Southampton on Saturday was their final league encounter until Boxing Day, when they will resume their campaign with a trip to Aston Villa.
Before then is a Carabao Cup fourth round meeting with Man City, which is now confirmed to take place on Thursday, December 22.
But you don’t have to wait that long for some Liverpool matches, with the first team, under-18’s and women’s team all in action in the coming weeks.
First team
It’s now been confirmed that Liverpool will play two friendlies as part of the Dubai Super Cup in December.
On Friday, December 11, they face Lyon, before another game against AC Milan five days later. Both will be held at the 15,000-capacity Al-Maktoum Stadium. The games will be broadcast live on LFCTV and LFCTV GO.
The Reds will spend two weeks in Dubai between December 3 and December 17, before returning home to prepare for their Carabao Cup fourth round tie against Man City on Thursday, December 22.
