Leeds United take on Liverpool in Chicago this evening
Leeds United take on Liverpool in Chicago this evening
The American dream is almost over for Leeds United, but first there is the crescendo to enjoy with Liverpool providing their toughest test of the tour (21:00 kick-off).
Unlike in their first two friendlies, there is expected to be a close-capacity crowd at Soldier Field, the 62,500-seater home of NFL franchise Chicago Bears. Most match-goers will be supporting Liverpool but the pockets of Leeds fans will make themsleves heard.
This game is hoped to be the first run-out for both Dominic Calvert-Lewin and Jaka Bijol, who missed the first two friendlies with injury. Eyes will also be on whether Lucas Perri returns to the squad after is minor setback amid exit talk.
Tarik Muharemovic starred against Sunderland on Friday but it remains to be seen whether he will play as long as the 87 minutes he enjoyed on debut. Daniel Farke will hope to have another new signing through the door before long.
