Moves are in train to bring English Premier League giants Liverpool back to the MCG as early as this year for a second match against Melbourne Victory – if the Reds don't decide to head to the United States instead.

Talks are at a delicate stage given the tight timelines both clubs face in May of this year. The A-League grand final is not until the middle of that month, and Victory, as defending champions, would have every hope of getting to the championship decider once again.

In addition, Kevin Muscat's men are involved in the Asian Champions League, and their final group game is due on May 22, against Sanfrecce Hiroshima, at AAMI Park.

Liverpool are involved in a battle for the Premier League title and are also in the mix for the European Champions League, a tournament in which they last year made the final.
