Preston North End vs Liverpool Preview, prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds | Club Friendly 2025

The Reds are on a three-match winning streak against the Lillywhites.

Preston North End are ready to host Liverpool in a club friendly fixture. The Lillywhites are going to face the Reds after a long time. The friendly match between the two will take place at Deepdale Stadium.

Preston North End will be at home and will surely be looking to use it to their advantage. They came up with some lacklustre performances during their 2024-25 campaign of the EFL Championship.

After contesting in 46 league games, the Lillywhites were only able to win 10 games. They saved themselves from being relegated after securing a point in the final matchday.

The English Premier League winners, Liverpool, will be back in action now. The Arne Slot-led side performed really well in the EPL, which helped them clinch the league title. Other than the Premier League, the Reds did not perform up to the standards.

Both teams will be ready to come up with some interesting strategies. This pre-season friendly is going to play an important role here. This will be the first match for Liverpool after the tragic death of Diogo Jota.

Players to Watch

Milutin Osmajic (Preston North End)

Milutin Osmajic finished his 2024-25 campaign with 12 goal involvements in 34 EFL Championship games for Preston North End. He is going to play a crucial part in the final third for the Lillywhites. As they take on the Premier League champions next, Osmajic will be looking to step up, as it is not going to be an easy fixture for them.

Mohamed Salah (Liverpool)

Mohamed Salah delivered some great performances during the 2024-25 season. In 38 Premier League appearances, Salah scored 29 goals and made 18 assists for the Reds. This also helped him win the Golden Boot award in the league.

The 33-year-old is going to be a menace to the opponent’s defence.
