The Athletic report that the Reds will hold talks with the Berlin-based G2K this week, with their artificial intelligence system having already been tested in Bundesliga stadiums. G2K's system reportedly includes temperature and mask checks as well as computerised crowd management. The system was used during Dortmund's final match of the Bundesliga season at home to Hoffenheim on June 27, when an automated temperature check was carried out on media and club staff members. German clubs are hopeful of being able to kick off next season with some fans in stadiums, with the exact percentage set to vary from club to club due to stadium size and the rate of infection in local areas. Liverpool would need approval from the Premier League and government before they could allow fans back into Anfield, but the new Premier League champions are hopeful that they could at least get some supporters back into their stadium in the early part of next season.
