Liverpool's first match since Diogo Jota's tragic death will be aired live on ITV, but it remains to be seen whether it goes ahead.
The Reds are currently scheduled to play Championship side Preston North End at Deepdale on Sunday in their first pre-season friendly.
Arne Slot's side are returning to pre-season training on Tuesday after many of the players were in Portugal to attend Jota's funeral, with their return to action plans postponed.
Jota, 28, was killed alongside his brother, Andre Silva, in a car crash in the early hours of Thursday morning. They were travelling across Spain to catch a ferry to Portsmouth and return in time for Liverpool's pre-season when the Lamborghini they were in veered off the road and burst into flames.
The Reds' pre-season plans have been altered, with some of the players initially slated to return to training last Friday. Meanwhile, their first friendly could be cancelled.

According to the Liverpool Echo, if the game against Preston does take place, it will be aired on ITV. It's said that a deal was agreed in principle before the end of June that the game would be broadcast.
It's stressed that ITV's broadcasting of the match is an unfortunate coincidence, with the match now carrying a far greater meaning and public interest.
The game's broadcast was confirmed in the Radio Times TV guide, which reads: "Preston North End v Liverpool (Kick-off 3.00pm). All the action from the friendly at Deepdale.

"Preston finished 15th in the Championship last term and will look forward to testing themselves against the reigning Premier League champions, who have further strengthened their squad over the summer by signing the likes of full-backs Milos Kerkez and Jeremie Frimpong and attacking midfielder Florian Wirtz".
A decision regarding the fixture's future will only be made once the players and staff have been consulted. ITV will be guided by both clubs and respect any decision the Reds make.
Preston are currently preparing in anticipation that the game will go ahead. And it's believed that the Lilywhites plan on honouring Jota with a tribute at Deepdale if the fixture goes ahead.
