Liverpool face Valerenga in a pre-season friendly in Norway.
Billy Hogan, Chief Commercial Officer at Liverpool FC, said: "The Norwegian club is celebrating its 100th anniversary this year and wanted to secure landmark fixtures, which we are delighted to be part of.

"We last played Vålerenga in 2011 and before that in 2008 so we are thrilled to be meeting them again this summer.

"Liverpool FC has a large fan base in Norway and this fixture allows us to bring the club closer to those Norwegian fans that cannot make it to Anfield to see their team play."

Pål Breen, CEO of Vålerenga, added: "We have established a very good connection with Liverpool FC over the years and are very happy to welcome them back to Oslo.

"Liverpool is a huge club with a large following in Norway and this will be a large happening for those with both blue and red hearts."

The Reds visited Oslo to play Vålerenga in August 2008 for a pre-season friendly and won 4-1. The last meeting was also part of pre-season in August 2011, when the clubs drew 3-3.

Should give time to squad players in this match or the Celtic one?

Depth 11:

--------------Jones-------------
---Kelly----Wisdom--Skrtel----Enrique
--------Allen ------Hendo-------
----Sterling-----Alberto-----Ibe
------------Borini--------------

Agger scored a brace last time we played Valerenga

The squad in full is: Jones, Enrique, Toure, Alberto, Gerrard, Aspas, Coutinho, Assaidi, Henderson, Coates, Downing, Spearing, Lucas, Mignolet, Allen, Borini, Sterling, Kelly, Flanagan, Ibe, Wisdom.

If he plays a full strength side:


Also wtf is Assaidi still doing in the squad.

I thought Suarez traveled with the squad

I would like to see the second team to start this match

this games bring back memories from start of 90s to end of 90s we just seem to buy Norway or Denmark players

Stig Inge Bjørnebye Norway

Torben Piechnik Denmark

Michael Stensgaard Denmark ( how sad with that bizarre injury)

Bjørn Tore Kvarme Norway

Øyvind Leonhardsen Norway

Jørgen Nielsen Denmark

Vegard Heggem Norway

Frode Kippe Norway

John Arne Riise Norway

going by what people put as are squad is i see some like this

players playing around 60mins

--------------------Mignolet------
Kelly-------Wisdom----------Toure---------Enrique------
--------------------Lucas---------
------------Gerrard----------Allen-----
Sterling-------------Aspas------------------Coutinho--


--------------------Jones---------
Flanagan------Kelly-------Coates--------Downing--
------------------Spearing-------
---------Henderson-------Alberto---
Ibe----------------Borini-----------------Assaidi--

Would pretty much like two different starting XIs for two halves:

for tomo's match, i wish to give only 25 to 30 minutes to players who are supposed to start against stoke. These same players should play almost 90 minutes against celtic so that it will be a good preparation for stoke game

1 hour till the game. GTFI people.

#LFC Starting XI: Jones, Spearing, Wisdom, Coates, Flanagan, Henderson, Allen, Luis Alberto, Downing, Aspas, Ibe

I had a feeling we would see scrub 11 today

Subs: Mignolet, Enrique, Toure, Gerrard, Coutinho, Assaidi, Lucas, Borini, Sterling, Kelly

Henderson captain

So much deadwood in that eleven.
Spearing at RB again

Shit it's going to be a pretty boring game with that line up.

So much deadwood in that eleven.
Spearing at RB again

hendo captain May be that gives us some idea what BR thinks of hendo now

yeah but we need it just to see which players can be the perfect second choice when some starting player is missing

funny thing is Aspas starting again, I would have liked Borini to start

Would have been nice to see Borini. I'm just hoping we get a glimpse of Coutinho today. I always look forward to watching him.

Henderson

HENRY is at the game

Goodness Owen is commentating. I'm going to kill myself, such a boring voice he's got.

Somehow forgot this game was happening until I saw a post on r/liverpoolfc ten seconds ago... If I hadn't thought to check reddit, I'd be missing out on this friendly for no reason... I'm taking it as another sign to be optimistic for this season, I refuse to get down on the team before the season even starts

GET IN YOU REDSSSS

DOWNING THAT RUN AND CROSS WHAT PACE!!!!!!! never seen him do that before
