ESPN to screen Liverpool matches

Broadcaster ESPN have revealed that they will be showing two Liverpool matches live next week.

Supporters will be able to see Brendan Rodgers's first competitive home match in charge of the Reds when they welcome Belarusian club FC Gomel to Anfield for the return leg of their Europa League qualifier. That match will take place on Thursday, August 9.

Then, the ESPN cameras will be present as Liverpool play host to German club Bayer Leverkusen in a pre-season friendly on the following Sunday.

Should Liverpool progress past Gomel, their home fixture in the next round of the Europa League will also been shown live by ESPN on either Thursday, August 23 or Thursday, August 30.
