India, July 30 -- Liverpool are set to go ahead with their pre-season friendly against Yokohama F Marinos at the Nissan Stadium, despite fears over cancellation given tsunami warnings in Japan following an 8.8 Richter scale earthquake off the coast of the Kamchatka peninsula in Russia.

Despite nearly 2 million people being evacuated across Japan at the behest of the Japan Meteorological Agency, which is predicting waves as high as three metres tall to hit the coast of Japan. However, the northern island of Hokkaido is expected to receive the brunt of the damage from the tsunami, with relatively safer conditions expected in central areas, which includes the port city of Yokohama, just to the south of Tokyo.
