Incase you want to avoid Friday's Premier League opener, perhaps you don't particularly enjoy watching one of the teams involved, then maybe Liverpool fans could tune into Premier League 2.
Rob Page's side will commence their campaign just across Stanley Park, taking on Everton at Goodison Park. With the Toffees' men's first team playing games at Hill Dickinson Stadium on Bramley-Moore Dock these days, this fixture will have something of a retro feel. So, ahead of this game, we document how fans can watch, and who those tuning in should keep an eye out for.

Which Liverpool players will be looking to impress?
There has been a lot change in Liverpool's under-21 squad. Key figures from last season Amara Nallo, Ármin Pécsi, Kieran Morrison and Calvin Ramsay have all departed on various senior loans.
Morrison, who has now joined Sheffield Wednesday, was the top-scorer last season, meaning the Reds' second-highest scorer will be looking to step up. That is Honduran Keyrol Figueroa, who has netted 21 times across various age groups since arriving from the FC Dallas academy.
Meantime, many young players saw minutes in the first team, especially when Andoni Iraola's team were touring the United States. These include striker Will Wright, winger Lewis Koumas and defender Luke Chambers, so how many of those will drop back down to under-21 level?
How did Liverpool perform in PL2 last season?
Liverpool finished seventh in last season's Premier League 2, winning 11 of 20 fixtures. This saw them progress to the competition's post-season elimination play-offs, where they fell in the first round, ousted by Crystal Palace on penalties after a thrilling 3-3 draw at Kirkby Academy.
