Four pre-season friendlies are now lined up between 25 July and 9 August — Sunderland, Wrexham, a meeting with Leeds United at Soldier Field in Chicago, and a closing night against AS Monaco at Anfield. For a fanbase that knows its FA Cup nights, its European epics and its roll-call of captains and managers by heart, the off-season quiet is lifting, and the anticipation that has defined so many Anfield summers is stirring once more.
