Back in Action at Melwood on Saturday?

After heartwarming farewells to the old training ground, Melwood
gets a last hurrah.

While the Reds training ground has been seen off in style with
video content and testimony from former greats, the Liverpool U18s of playing at the venue.

The youth side will face Leeds
United at 12 PM GMT/7 AM EST

While the choice comes from pragmatic rather than romantic
causes — the U23s and the U16s will be in action at Kirkby — it
will none theless be a special moment for Marc Bridge-Wilkinson’s
side.

Speaking with anticipation, Bridge-Wilkinson told
Liverpoolfc.com that the staff and the squad were filled with
excitement to play at the now-former ground.

“Melwood is such an iconic place in Liverpool’s history and it
really is special for the Academy to get this opportunity.”

Unfortunately fans won’t have an easy way to get a look in at
the iconic former training ground, as LFCTV will be playing the U23
side’s match against Southampton FC. Highlights of the U18s match against
Leeds will be available for LFCTV subscribers
after full time.
