Liverpool, as expected given they only returned to training on Tuesday, have made 11 changes at the break.

There are debuts for summer signings Jeremie Frimpong and Milos Kerkez.

Here's the full XI: Woodman, Frimpong, Nallo, Robertson, Kerkez, Endo, Jones, Koumas, Gakpo, Nunez, Doak.

Liverpool get the second half started.

Wholesale changes at the break - we'll bring you the full second-half line-up shortly. Jeremie Frimpong is among the players who have come on for the visitors.

Just the one change for Preston. Daniel Jebbison is on for Will Keane.

Outside the ground, Preston shirt sponsor Spud Bros have altered the food truck they operate in order to pay tribute to Diogo Jota.

The Portuguese forward's signature, and now retired, number 20 shirt adorns the truck on Premier League numbering.

Jota played at Deepdale three times in his career, scoring once in a 2023 friendly Liverpool played against German club SV Darmstadt.

Liverpool boss Arne Slot spoke to Liverpool TV before this game, in his first interview since Diogo Jota's passing.

He has told his players to "be yourself" and "don't think you have to be different than your emotions tell you".

"If we want to laugh, we laugh; if we want to cry, we're going to cry," said Slot.

"If they want to train they can train, if they don't want to train they can not train.

"We will always carry him with us in our hearts, in our thoughts, wherever we go."

It's very difficult to find the right words because we constantly debate what is appropriate. What is appropriate in our actions? What is appropriate [for] what we have to say? Can we train again? Can we laugh again? Can we be angry if there's a wrong decision?

"And I've said to them, maybe the best thing for us to do is handle this situation like Jota was. And what I meant with that is that Jota was always himself, it didn't matter if he was talking to me, to his team-mates, to the staff, he was always himself. So let us try to be ourselves as well."

In the five years he played for the club, Diogo Jota's tenacity, playful personality and knack for scoring important goals made him one of the team's most popular players in a trophy-laden spell.

Plenty of those I spoke to outside said they are struggling to believe or accept his loss.

Liverpool lead 1-0 at the break thanks to right-back Conor Bradley's goal.

Preston have had a number of chances but haven't taken advantage of any.

Preston nearly make it 1-1 just before the break.

A long throw is sent into the box but Andrew Hughes sends a header narrowly over the bar.

Aside from Conor Bradley's goal, there haven't been many chances of note in the first half so far.

It's been played at a relatively slow pace. It's a hot day at Deepdale and neither side have had that much time to prepare.

After scoring the opener and being congratulated by his team-mates, Conor Bradley took a second to look to the heavens as he walked back towards his position at right-back.

It was excellent from Federico Chiesa in the build-up, twisting through the Preston backline before sliding the ball across the box.

Dominik Szoboszlai tapped it towards the back post before Bradley drove home the opener.

Preston's captain Ben Whiteman laid a wreath in front of the Liverpool fans before kick-off.

The 29-year-old was extremely emotional.

It is a sombre occasion at Deepdale and fans have been non-stop as they continue to sing their tributes.

The players take a cooling break at the 25-minute mark with scores still level.

Other Liverpool songs - including plenty about last season's title win - are being given an airing by the travelling Liverpool supporters.

But no more than a few minutes are going by without the entire away end reverting back to singing Diogo Jota's name.

The Preston supporters all around the ground are now standing and clapping along in rhythm with the Jota song as the clock hits the 20th minute.

As we reach the 20th minute, Diogo Jota's chant rings around the ground. Jota wore number 20 for Liverpool.

On the pitch, Federico Chiesa has just come close to opening the scoring but curled wide of the far post from a narrow angle.

It's still level at Deepdale with just under 20 minutes played.

Preston have had a few good moments, especially when breaking down the wings.

Liverpool are starting to grow into it but haven't produced too much of note yet.

The minute's silence prior to kick off, following that powerful version of You'll Never Walk Alone, was perfectly observed by everybody at Deepdale.

Those on both benches locked arms as the stadium paid tribute to Diogo Jota and his brother Andre Silva.

The Liverpool fans were in fine voice during the extremely emotional rendition of You'll Never Walk Alone before kick-off - and during their song for Diogo Jota in the early exchanges.

There are a huge amount of flags and banners bearing Diogo Jota's name in the Liverpool end at Deepdale.

Most include reference to his iconic number 20 shirt, which the club have now retired in his honour.

There are also plenty of Portugal flags. In Jota's final match, he won the Uefa Nations League with his country.

Here's a couple of pictures from the minute's silence which was impeccably observed around Deepdale.
