Liverpool and Arsenal meet in Philadelphia on Wednesday night for an intriguing glimpse into how the Premier League giants are shaping up for the new season.

Arne Slot is still getting to grips with his new squad and is yet to make a new signing having recently taken over from Jurgen Klopp.

But Liverpool notched their first victory of pre-season under the new manager with a 1-0 win over Real Betis, courtesy of a Dominik Szoboszlai goal.

Arsenal’s own tour of the United States has also begun in promising fashion.

Following a 1-1 draw with Bournemouth, Mikel Arteta’s side beat Manchester United 2-1 in Los Angeles before this trip to the Eastern Seaboard.

Liverpool vs Arsenal team news

New Reds boss Slot has delivered a policy of evolution not revolution in the early days of his tenure although one key change featured Harvey Elliott and Dominik Szoboszlai in advanced central roles against Betis.

Curtis Jones went off injured in that friendly and is a doubt for this match.

After limiting his first-choice players’ involvement in their pre-season opener, Arteta recalled Martin Odegaard, Gabriel Jesus and Leandro Trossard to his XI against United. Riccardo Calafiori could make his debut.

Kai Havertz, Gabriel Martinelli and Gabriel Magalhaes could start after appearing off the bench last time out.

The 17-year-old duo of Ayden Heaven and Ethan Nwaneri have featured in both line-ups and will hope to continue their impressive summers here.

Both teams will continue to be without the bulk of their Euro 2024 and Copa America stars.

It’s hard to predict which of these teams will arrive in better nick as we enter the middle third of pre-season, but the absence of several star players could see them cancel each other out.

A 1-1 draw.
