Barcelona will play friendlies against newly-crowned English Premier League champions Leicester and Liverpool in August, the Spanish giants announced Monday.

The current La Liga leaders will play Leicester at Stockholm's Friends Arena on August 3 and Liverpool three days later at a venue to be decided, Barca said.

Barcelona will play a first pre-season game on July 30 against Celtic in Dublin as part of the International Champions Cup.

The Catalan giants will also have a July 25-30 training camp at St George's Park, the English Football Association's national football centre in the central English town of Burton-upon-Trent.
