Emotional tribute was paid to Diogo Jota and his brother Andre Silva before the first match of Liverpool since their death.
A interpretation of 'Youl Never Walk Alone' echoed around the stadium when Preston North End captain Ben Whiteman laid a wreath in honor of them for the fans of Liverpool.
Players then came from the tunnel, led by Captains Mohamed Salah and Whiteman, while supporters helped different flags and banners while sanging Jota's name.
A moment of silence in memory of Jota and Silva was then held before the kick -off.
The competition in Deepdale was the first of the Reds, since Liverpool attacker Jota and his brother on 3 July were killed in a car accident in Spain.
There was a interpretation of 'Youll Never Walk Alone' prior to the kick -off of 3 p.m. and Preston laid a wreath next to the road supporters.
A minute of silence was then observed, with digital tribute on the big screen of the stadium and on pitchside LED boards. Players from both teams wore black bracelets.
The pre-match program also contained written tribute to Jota and Silva.
“We will always wear it with us in our hearts, in our thoughts, wherever we go,” said Slot on the Liverpool website. “At any time we are here, we will wear it with us in our thoughts and in our hearts. His shirt retiring is the only thing we could and have done …
'I think I'm comforting in [is that] In the last month of his life he was a champion in everything. A champion for his family, which is the most important and most important because he is married.
“A champion for his country because he won the Nations League, [with] A country he cared about so much because he also wore the flag when we had parties. And of course a champion for us by winning the Premier League. “
Slot said prior to Sunday's game: “Nothing seems to be important when we think of what happened. But we are a football club and we have to train and we have to play again, if we want it or not.
“It is very difficult to find the right words, because we constantly debate what is appropriate. What is suitable in our actions? What is appropriate [for] What should we say? Can we train again? Can we laugh again? Can we be angry if there is a wrong decision?
“And I said to them, maybe the best for us to do this situation as Jota was. And what I meant that Jota was always himself, it didn't matter if he spoke to me, against his teammates, against the staff, he was always himself. So we try to be ourselves too.”
