Liverpool and Leeds United will renew their historic rivalry on Sunday when they meet in a preseason friendly at Soldier Field in Chicago.
Both clubs have already faced Wrexham and Sunderland during their U.S. tours, but their results have gone in opposite directions. Liverpool are off to a perfect start, beating Sunderland 4–2 and Wrexham 1–0, keeping new boss Andoni Iraola happy and undefeated.
Leeds began with a 3–2 loss to Wrexham before responding with a 1–0 win over Sunderland, thanks to Lukas Nmecha’s goal.
While preseason results are rarely a true indicator of what lies ahead, this fixture carries extra intrigue. Liverpool and Leeds have shared a fierce, complicated rivalry dating back to the 1960s, meaning fans in Chicago could be in for a competitive encounter.
