That's all from me tonight.

You can read all about how Arne Slot's new-look Liverpool fared in their double-header against Athletic Bilbao over here.

There's more on the tributes Liverpool paid to Diogo Jota in their first match at Anfield since the late forward's death here.

Thanks for joining us this evening. Until next time.

Preparations, just about complete.

The next time we'll see Arne Slot's side in action will be at Wembley on Sunday, contesting the Community Shield against Crystal Palace.

Their Premier League campaign begins just five days later, at home to Bournemouth on Friday, 15 August.

How time flies. The new season is very much upon us. I hope you're all ready to go again!

A 4-1 win for a youthful side, featuring a star performance by 16-year-old Rio Ngumoha.

A 3-2 win for the first team, and more promising performances from some of their new signings.

All in all, a very satisfying night for Arne Slot as the Premier League champions sharpen up for the new campaign.

All over.

Liverpool mark their Anfield return, and welcome their new signings, with two victories over Athletic Bilbao.

Giorgi Mamardashvili comes to Liverpool's rescue with an instinctive save, before the flag goes up - but he wasn't to know that. A couple of big moments at the end here for the new goalkeeper.

Will Wright wins back possession to begin another Liverpool attack, but Unai Simon is alert and the Athletic Bilbao goalkeeper comes far out of his box to prevent any trouble.

The visitors go on to win a corner, perhaps their final chance for an equaliser here.

Athletic Bilbao are pushing for a late equaliser and Liverpool will surely try to slow this down a bit now as we enter the final few minutes of normal time. Based on what we've seen from them so far tonight, maybe not...

Almost a fairytale introduction for Will Wright!

He's been scoring for Salford City in pre-season but he almost has his first Anfield goal for Liverpool at the end of another sweeping attack, but the 17-year-old is denied by Unai Simon.

I was just thinking that the only new Liverpool signing yet to have the opportunity to make a real impression here was the goalkeeper, Giorgi Mamardashvili.

But that is an outstanding save from the Georgian as he leaps across to his left to palm the ball away at full-stretch.

Wow!

It's not often he misses from there.

Mo Salah steps up with confidence to add the finishing touches to victory, but floats his spot-kick over the bar. Silence in the stands - nobody was expecting that outcome!

Federico Chiesa dinks a lovely cross in towards Wataru Endo, who is chopped down and it's as clear a penalty as you're likely to see.

Now Ernesto Valverde is going to make a few changes.

Aimar Dunabeitia, Unai Vencedor, Urko Izeta and Johaneko Louis-Jean come in for Yuri Berchiche, Inigo Ruiz de Galarreta, Maroan Sannadi and Nico Williams.

Arne Slot takes the opportunity to make another change as an Athletic Bilbao player goes down requiring treatment.

Big-money signing Florian Wirtz, hugely influential in his first Anfield appearance here, makes way for the 17-year-old Will Wright, whose move from Salford City was only confirmed earlier today!

Jeremie Frimpong is the next new signing to make way, and I'm sure the Liverpool fans will like what they have seen from their adventurous right-back.

He's replaced by the 18-year-old Amara Nallo.

Arne Slot is back on the touchline and doesn't look too happy with how things are right now. Their energy levels have maybe just dipped a bit in the last five minutes or so.

After an impressive period of control for Liverpool, Athletic Bilbao have burst back into action again midway through this second half.

From the position we have so often seen him bend a shot into the far top corner, Mo Salah cuts back on to his left foot and sees an attempt deflected over, but the offside flag is raised.

Liverpool have their lead back and now have control of the ball, inviting Athletic Bilbao on and seemingly ready to launch an attack at the slightest opportunity. Like a coiled spring.
