Liverpool will play in Premier League Asia Trophy in Hong Kong against fellow top flight sides Leicester, Crystal Palace and West Brom

Liverpool will take on Leicester City, Crystal Palace and West Bromwich Albion in this summer’s Premier League Asia Trophy in Hong Kong.

The four English top-flight sides will play against two of their regular Premier League opponents each in two matches spread across two days in July at the 40,000 capacity Hong Kong Stadium.

Palace, one of three newbies to the pre-season tournament, stepped in to take part after Chinese Super League team Shanghai SIPG — the club of Brazilian stars Oscar and Hulk in their squad as well as manager Andre Villas-Boas — pulled out.
