Andoni Iraola has made a winning start to his first season in charge at Anfield, with Liverpool recording pre-season friendly wins over Sunderland and Wrexham. Rio Ngumoha scored the winner in a 1-0 victory against Wrexham in New York on Wednesday.
The match in Chicago is another step in Liverpool's preparations for the new Premier League campaign, as they look to bounce back from a dismal title defence under Arne Slot.
Kick-off time and venue
Liverpool vs Leeds is scheduled for a 9pm BST kick-off on Sunday, August 2, 2026, at Soldier Field in Chicago.
How to watch
In the UK, the match will be shown live on All Red Video, Liverpool's in-house streaming service, with an annual membership costing £42.99. Standard Sport will also have a live blog on matchday.
Team news
Liverpool will be without Joe Gomez after Iraola confirmed the defender is facing a month on the sidelines with a muscle injury. He joins fellow centre-back Giovanni Leoni in the physio's room.
Summer signing Jeremy Jacquet may debut after recovering from a shoulder injury suffered in the spring. Ryan Gravenberch, Florian Wirtz and Alexander Isak are available, while 17-year-old Ngumoha is expected to get more minutes after being included in Thomas Tuchel's World Cup pre-tournament camp.
Leeds have lost 3-2 to Wrexham but beaten Sunderland 1-0, with Felix Nmecha scoring the winner. Daniel Farke's side secured Premier League safety after a difficult start following promotion and finished 14th last season. New signing Harry Wilson has featured in both of their games so far.
Prediction and head-to-head
Liverpool have fielded much-changed teams but have two wins from two. They should beat a Leeds side who are weaker on paper but boast attacking talent in Nmecha and Wilson. Prediction: Liverpool to win, 1-0.
In head-to-head history, Liverpool have 53 wins, Leeds 23, with 25 draws.
