Andoni Iraola took over as Liverpool manager earlier this summer, replacing Arne Slot. The team has seen limited transfer activity so far, with winger Victor Munoz being the only confirmed arrival. Liverpool began their pre-season under Iraola with a 4-2 victory against Sunderland in Nashville. Federico Chiesa, Dominik Szoboszlai, Kieran Morrison, and Lewis Koumas were among the scorers in that match, as reported by The Standard.

Wrexham has also had a successful summer in their pre-season friendlies, securing wins against Manchester United and Leeds United. The Welsh club also drew with Polish side Wisla Krakow. However, Wrexham have faced injury concerns, with Ryan Hardie and Elliot Lee picking up knocks after their match against Manchester United.
