SYDNEY (Reuters) - English Premier League club Liverpool will play Sydney FC in a friendly at the Harbour City's 80,000-seater Olympic Stadium next month, with organisers expecting a sellout for the visit of the five-times European champions.

Liverpool estimate they have 2.3 million fans in Australia and a sell-out crowd of 95,000 watched them play Melbourne Victory at the Melbourne Cricket Ground in 2013 with a rousing rendition of "You'll Never Walk Alone" going viral on social media.
