Reds conclude USA tour with a fixture against Premier League rivals
The Premier League takes over Chicago tonight as Liverpool face Leeds in a pre-season friendly at Soldier Field. Under new head coach Andoni Iraola, the Reds are on a roll having recorded win over both Sunderland and Wrexham in Nashville and New York City respectively, and will look to conclude their USA summer tour on a positive note as preparations for the new campaign continues.
Iraola has confirmed a triple selection boost for Liverpool with Ryan Gravenberch, Alexander Isak and Florian Wirtz set to feature in Illinois after joining up with the squad late this summer because of the World Cup. Summer signing Jeremy Jacquet is a doubt though, further highlighting a central defensive crisis as Joe Gomez is facing up to a month on the sidelines with a muscle injury sustained against Sunderland a week ago.
Leeds, meanwhile, bounced back from defeat to Wrexham by beating the Black Cats last time out and can turn to a former Red in Harry Wilson as they bid to extend their unbeaten run in this fixture to three games.
