Sepp van den Berg on facing Liverpool, Preston loan and new position

An unusual experience awaits Sepp van den Berg at Deepdale this evening.

The Liverpool defender, who is currently with Championship team Preston North End for a second loan spell, will compete against his parent club when the sides meet in the Carabao Cup fourth round.

Van den Berg and Preston have been granted permission by the Reds to field the defender in the tie, with Jürgen Klopp and his staff keen for the Dutchman to utilise the opportunity.

That sentiment is shared by the player himself and Van den Berg is determined to show Liverpool the fruits of his hard work out on loan during 2021 on what he admits will be a ‘weird’ night.
