Premier League rivals Liverpool and Leeds United go head-to-head in a preseason friendly at Soldier Field Staidum in Chicago City, USA on Sunday.
Both sides have already spent time on American soil, each facing Championship outfit Wrexham and fellow Premier League club Sunderland, although their preparations have taken very different paths.
Liverpool are enjoying a perfect start to preseason, defeating Sunderland 4–2 before edging past Wrexham 1–0. As a result, new manager Andoni Iraola remains unbeaten during his early days in charge of the Reds.
Leeds, meanwhile, began their tour with a 3–2 defeat to Wrexham, with Sam Smith scoring a late winner for the Welsh side. They responded in their next outing by beating Sunderland 1–0 thanks to a goal from Lukas Nmecha.
In the grand scheme of things, preseason results rarely carry much weight beyond building fitness, confidence and chemistry; however, when Liverpool and Leeds meet, there is usually an added edge. The two clubs share a long and complicated rivalry dating back to the 1960s, meaning supporters in Chicago could be treated to more than just the average friendly—they could witness a highly competitive contest between two historic English sides.
