Liverpool plans pre-season clash with Sunderland in Nashville
Liverpool begin their pre-season in Nashville under new head coach Andoni Iraola, with the July 25 friendly against Sunderland serving as a first real test of a heavily rebuilt squad. The Reds have seen departures like Mohamed Salah and Andy Robertson and arrivals such as Jeremy Jacquet, with players including Ryan Gravenberch, Alexander Isak, and Florian Wirtz joining up later in the tour. Injury concerns and World Cup commitments affect availability, with several players sidelined or yet to join, while others could feature in rotated halves. The match will be broadcast via LFCTV and LFCTV GO, with additional streaming options through All Red Video and other club platforms, and it will not be shown on standard UK television. Sunderland arrive with constraints, including a visa setback for Jocelin Ta Bi and several World Cup participants unavailable. Globally, kickoff times vary by region as clubs use the Nashville fixture to build fitness and tactical sharpness ahead of the new campaign.
