... the next game has been announced:
Fenway Sports Management revealed that LFC will take on Tottenham Hotspur at M&T Bank Stadium in Baltimore on July 28.
"The M&T Bank Stadium in Baltimore is an amazing stadium and holds 71,000 fans," said Ian Ayre. "The prospect of playing a big game between two great Premier League clubs on American soil is one that I'm sure will excite lots of our fans because nothing beats watching the team live."
"We’re really looking forward to the tour and playing against some quality opposition. We had a great time playing in front of our supporters in Asia last year and it will be good to give our fans in North America the chance to watch us this summer," Kenny Dalgish said.
"I’m told football is the fastest-growing sport in America so hopefully we can put on two good performances for the fans who turn up to watch us play. Games against Tottenham Hotspur are always entertaining, so it should be fantastic."
Tickets for the game in Baltimore go on sale April 3 and can be purchased through the Baltimore Ravens and Ticketmaster websites. Tickets for the game at Fenway Park go on sale April 28.

The game against Toronto, who became the first Canadian team to enter the MLS back in 2007, will form part of the World Football Challenge.
Liverpool managing director Ian Ayre commented: "We're delighted to be opening our North American tour in Canada with a game against Toronto FC. We played Porto at the same stadium - when it was the SkyDome - back in 2004 in front of over 40,000 fans and it will be great to give our fans in the region another chance to see Liverpool play. With the three games we now have scheduled in Toronto, Boston and Baltimore, we hope that as many of our supporters as possible will have the chance to see the team in action."
