Liverpool vs Leeds – Predicted lineup and team news | OneFootball

Liverpool take on Leeds United in a pre-season friendly at Soldier Field in Chicago, bringing their US tour to a close. Both new Liverpool head coach Andoni Iraola and Leeds manager Daniel Farke are expected to use this game to ease important players back into action after their summer breaks, while also being cautious with those dealing with fitness issues.

Liverpool head into this fixture in excellent form during pre-season under Iraola. They have won every match so far on their United States tour. The Reds began with an entertaining 4-2 win over Sunderland and then followed it up with a controlled 1-0 victory against Wrexham. Performances so far have highlighted a good balance between attacking movement and defensive organisation, giving the squad a solid platform ahead of the new Premier League season.

Liverpool team news

Iraola is set to reintroduce several key players into the lineup. Alexander Isak, Florian Wirtz, and Ryan Gravenberch have all returned after their post-World Cup breaks and are expected to feature for the first time this pre-season.

There is also a chance for supporters to see new £60 million signing Jérémy Jacquet, who has recently recovered from a shoulder injury. However, his minutes will likely be limited as a precaution.

However, Liverpool are currently dealing with several injury concerns. Joe Gomez has been ruled out for around a month after picking up a muscle problem in the game against Sunderland.

He joins Conor Bradley, Hugo Ekitike, and Giovanni Leoni on the injury list. On a more positive note, Stefan Bajcetic and Wataru Endo are close to returning to full fitness.

Meanwhile, Virgil van Dijk, Cody Gakpo, and Alisson Becker are continuing their training back home and will not be involved in this fixture.

Additionally, Alexis Mac Allister and Victor Muñoz, who reached the World Cup final, are still on extended holidays and unavailable for selection.
