Line-ups confirmed for friendly clash in Chicago


Liverpool face Premier League rivals Leeds in the next leg of their pre-season tour, with both teams crossing the USA and meeting in Chicago.

The Reds are still adjusting to life under new head coach Andoni Iraola, who has overseen a strong start to his tenure, albeit the wins have come in friendly matches.

Leeds remain under the leadership of Daniel Farke, and have former Liverpool target Harry Wilson in their ranks, following his move from Fulham.

It should be an entertaining clash for the neutral, as both sides continue to ramp up their 2026/27 preparations.
