Liverpool U21s will kick off the 2024/25 campaign with the visit of Man City to the AXA Training Centre, with the club learning the full academy fixture list.
The Reds head into a new season with fresh optimism under Arne Slot, and that could be extended across the youth ranks, too.
While the faces have changed, the roles and ideals among Liverpool’s staff have stayed the same, with the appointment of Aaron Briggs as first-team individual development coach designed to smooth the pathway from academy to the senior side.
Though all eyes will be on Portman Road as Slot’s side get their Premier League season underway with a clash with Ipswich on August 17, two other fixtures will also take place.
Liverpool have been told their fixture lists for both the U21s and U18s leagues, with their opening games also taking place on that Saturday.
The U18s will visit Derby in a 12pm kickoff before the U21s host Man City at 2pm – neither will be broadcast live due to scheduling conflicts.
