The World Cup may be over, but never fear, because you only have to wait three days for club football to kick off once again and Liverpool FC will get their pre-season underway with a clash with Brondby on Wednesday.

Brendan Rodgers takes his side to Denmark before jetting off the the USA for the club's pre-season tour.

We run down all you need to know about Liverpool's first match of 2014/15.

Who?

Danish Superliga club Brondby are one of the most successful teams in Denmark with 10 league championships and are also Daniel Agger's former club.

They hail from Brondbyvester, near Copenhagen and are known as "The Boys from the Western Outskirts".

Brondby have fallen on hard times as of late, almost suffering bankruptcy and going through a change of ownership. They finished fourth in the Danish Superliga last season and remain one of the best supported clubs in Denmark.

Along with Agger, Danish superstars like Michael Laudrup and Peter Schmeichel have also represented the club.

When?

Kick-off is on Wednesday at 5pm so it's the perfect excuse to stay out for a couple of cold ones after work and catch the Reds in action.

Where?

A 29,000 seater stadium in the western outskirts of Copenhagen with one of the most original names around - the Brondby Stadium.

How do I follow the game?

You can catch the full 90 minutes live on BT Sport or, if you subscribe, on LFCTV GO.

Familiar Faces

There may be a few familiar faces in the home side on Wednesday, including former Bolton Wanderers and Norwich City man Johan Elmander.

The Swede returned to Brondby in June having scored 22 goals for them in a two-year spell earlier in his career.

Danish veteran Martin Albrechtsen has represented both West Brom and Derby County during a 16-year career.

The 34-year-old made over 100 appearances for the Baggies before heading to Pride Park. He returned to Denmark in 2010 and signed for Brondby in 2012.

Club captain Thomas Kahlenberg is another player in his second spell with the club after a career that has taken him to France and Germany. The 31-year-old has 41 caps for Denmark and has scored 30 league goals in over 100 appearances for the club.

Ones to Watch

23-year-old forward Simon Makienok is a wanted man around Europe after scoring 33 goals in 73 appearances for the club. He's been linked with both Crystal Palace and Fulham and recently turned down a move to an unnamed Russian club.

19-year-old South African Lebogang Phiri broke into the Brondby side last season and impressed enough to earn an international call-up with the Bafana.

Another 19-year-old, Andrew Hjulsager is a pacey right-winger with an eye for goal. Brondby moved quick to tie him down to a long-term deal after he became the second youngest goalscorer in the club's history with an outstanding goal on his debut at the age of 18.

Any other business

Liverpool have a little bit of history with Brondby, after the Danes knocked the Reds out of the UEFA Cup on a cold Halloween night in 1995 with a goal from Dan Eggen - leaving Liverpool "with egg on their faces" according to Des Lynam.

Eggen became something of a UEFA Cup curse for the Reds, helping Celta Vigo knock Gerard Houllier's side just two years later.

The Reds would get the sweetest revenge on Eggen though, beating his Alaves side to win the UEFA Cup in 2001.

Meanwhile, Liverpool stalwart and former Brondby man, Agger says he has waited a long, long time to face his former side. The Reds paid Brondby £6m in 2005 to bring the exciting young centre back to Anfield.

Agger had made 34 appearances for Brondby, scoring five goals before the Reds swooped, he became the most expensive Danish sale at that time.
