Liverpool vs Wrexham: Prediction, TV, team news

Liverpool continue their pre-season tour of the United States with a match against Wrexham on Thursday, July 30, 2026, at Yankee Stadium in New York City. The Reds are in the early stages of a new era under manager Andoni Iraola, who replaced Arne Slot earlier this summer. Liverpool finished fourth in the Premier League last season, a drop-off after winning the title under Slot in his first campaign.

Match details and how to watch

The game kicks off at 12:30 am BST (British Summer Time) at Yankee Stadium in The Bronx, New York City. Live streaming is available on LFCTV, Liverpool’s official streaming service, which requires an annual membership costing £42.99.

Team news

Liverpool have several injury concerns. Joe Gomez limped off after 10 minutes in the 4-2 win over Sunderland, leaving the squad short at centre-back. Jeremy Jacquet, who joined in January, is the only recognised senior central defender and missed the Sunderland match as a precaution but is expected to return. Ryan Gravenberch, Florian Wirtz, and Alexander Isak are with the squad after World Cup duty, while Virgil van Dijk, Alisson Becker, Cody Gakpo, Alexis Mac Allister, and Victor Munoz have been given extra time off. Conor Bradley and Hugo Ekitike are long-term absentees.

Wrexham also have injuries: Ryan Hardie and Elliot Lee picked up knocks after their 1-0 win over Manchester United and missed the subsequent match against Leeds. Liberato Cacace is available after his World Cup campaign with New Zealand.

Prediction and head-to-head

Liverpool’s threadbare squad and Wrexham’s impressive pre-season form – including wins over Manchester United and Leeds – make this a difficult match to call. However, Liverpool’s young players and Jacquet’s desire to impress could give them the edge. A 2-1 Liverpool victory is predicted.

Historically, Liverpool have won 11 of the 21 meetings, Wrexham have eight wins, and there have been two draws. Odds are available from UK betting sites and are subject to change. Gambling can be addictive; please play responsibly.
