Liverpool are yet to be beaten this preseason after beating Real Betis 1-0 last weekend and topping Arsenal 2-1 on Wednesday. Arne Slot’s side still awaits the return of a number of first-team stars — Virgil van Dijk, Trent Alexander-Arnold, Alexis Mac Allister, Luis Diaz and Darwin Nuñez, to name a few — following their participation at EURO 2024 and Copa America. Andrew Robertson also remains out with an ankle injury.
Manchester United beat Rangers 2-0 before embarking on their USA tour, which thus far has seen them lose 2-1 to Arsenal and beat Real Betis 3-2. Lisandro Martinez, Luke Shaw, Kobbie Mainoo and Bruno Fernandes are yet to appear for the Red Devils in preseason as they recover from international duty this summer.
