Liverpool return to Anfield this week for a back-to-back showdown with Spanish side Athletic Club, marking their final pre-season fixtures before the competitive action begins.

The Reds began their summer schedule with a 3-1 win at Preston, followed by an emphatic 5-0 victory over Stoke City behind closed doors. After a hiccup against Milan on July 26, Arne Slot's men responded in style, cruising to a 3-1 win over Yokohama in the J. League World Challenge.

These two games against Athletic Club will be the last tune-up before Liverpool head to London to take on Crystal Palace in the Community Shield.

Athletic Club won't be pushovers. The Basque team had a strong 2024-25 campaign, locking in a fourth-place La Liga finish and making it to the Europa League semi-finals, before falling to Manchester United over two legs. Expect a competitive clash as both sides look to fine-tune their squads.

The Sporting News looks at the key details ahead of this game, including how to watch the match, kickoff times and the weekly schedule.
