Liverpool FC Ladies step up their pre-season preparations this week with games against the likes of Rangers and Blackburn Rovers.

Matt Beard's new-look squad have won their opening two friendly games against Manchester City and Leeds United, and host Blackburn Rovers at the Halton Stadium on Wednesday night.

Kick-off is at 7.30pm GMT and admission for all home matches at the Halton Stadium during pre-season is just £2 for adults and £1 for children.

This weekend the ladies host a four-team tournament at the Halton Stadium and the clash with Scottish outfit Rangers will provide a good test for Beard's team.

The Reds host Rangers on Saturday at 2pm, and then face Forfar on Sunday at 2pm.

The new 2013 Women's Super League kicks off again in March.
