Liverpool have announced they will visit the Far East this preseason, despite complaints from manager Jurgen Klopp.

Klopp has complained bitterly about last summer's Asian trip influencing their underwhelming campaign this season.

Liverpool will be in Singapore for games against Premier League Leicester on July 30 and German giants Bayern Munich on August 2 as part of the 'Singapore Festival of Football'.

Reds commercial director Ben Latty said: "We're tremendously excited to be heading back to Singapore for this summer's pre-season tour. We were so impressed with the welcome and the facilities - from the training ground to the stadium and the infrastructure last year - that when the chance to return came up we jumped at it.

"Pre-season is hugely important to us for a number of reasons. It's a chance for fans who may never get the opportunity to come to Anfield to see their idols, and for the team to prepare for the season ahead.

"In Singapore, almost a fifth of the population identify as Liverpool fans, which is amazing, and we can't wait to meet them again.

"Singapore is an easily accessible travel hub for LFC fans across the region to reach. It is also strategically important for a number of our partners, including our principal partner Standard Chartered Bank, who we were delighted to renew our relationship with for a further four years when we visited Singapore last year."
