Liverpool and Leeds meet at Soldier Field in Chicago in a rematch of last season's entertaining two Premier League matches. A wild 3-3 draw in December was settled only by a Leeds stoppage-time equalizer from Ao Tanaka and a tighter 0-0 stalemate the following January.
The clash also marks an early test for Andoni Iraola's first year in charge of Liverpool, who bring a squad blending experience and youth on their U.S. tour, headlined by Dominik Szoboszlai, Federico Chiesa and Cody Gakpo.
Leeds, now in Daniel Farke's fourth season at the helm, counter with a mix of Premier League veterans and fresh faces, led by Dominic Calvert-Lewin up front and Ethan Ampadu marshaling the midfield. Wilfried Gnonto and Daniel James add pace to Farke's attack.
With both sides still shaping their squads before the new campaign, Chicago offers a chance to build momentum ahead of the season opener later in August.
