Liverpool news: Deepdale fell silent to remember Jota and Silva

Deepdale fell silent to remember the lives of Diogo Jota and his brother Andre Silva before Sunday's pre-season friendly between Liverpool and Preston.

For the first time since their team-mate's death 10 days ago, Liverpool players took to the field in front of their own supporters in the away end, and a minute's silence was observed.

Their end was a sea of red, filled with flags, scarves and shirts to honour and commemorate their number 20.

Elvis Presley's Can't Help Falling in Love and Liverpool club anthem You'll Never Walk Alone were sung as Preston captain Ben Whiteman laid a wreath in front of the travelling supporters.

It was a moving tribute as Liverpool, and the wider football community, continue to mourn the loss of Jota and Silva.
