Cesc Fabregas and his Como side will be at Anfield on August 16 for a prestigious friendly match against Liverpool, as both prepare for the Champions League.

It was announced that the pre-season friendly test will kick off at 18.00 UK time on Sunday August 16.

Tickets for the match range between £10 and £35 for the opportunity to see these teams face off.

Como were only promoted from Serie B two years ago, yet reached the Coppa Italia semi-final against Inter and then qualified for the Champions League, pipping Milan and Juventus to the post.

This is going to be an historic occasion for the club, that had never even managed to qualify for European competition before, let alone the most prestigious tournament on the globe.

Coach Fabregas joined as a player in 2022, then retired a year later to go straight into management.
