Liverpool
At the end of last season, Jürgen Klopp decided to leave Liverpool after seven and a half years with the club. He was replaced by Dutch specialist Arne Slot, who previously worked with PSV. The Reds have begun their preparation for the new Premier League season and have already played their first match as part of their American tour. Many Premier League clubs are currently playing friendly matches in the USA, and Liverpool is no exception.
In their first friendly, the team played against La Liga side Real Betis. The Reds outplayed their opponents and secured a well-deserved, albeit narrow, victory with a score of 1-0. Liverpool has three more matches ahead on this tour, with opponents being Arsenal, Manchester United, and Sevilla. The official Premier League season for Liverpool will start with a game against newly promoted Ipswich Town.

In both cases, Arsenal secured narrow victories with identical scores of 2-1. Before the start of the new season, the Londoners have three more games. They will play against Liverpool, Bayer Leverkusen, and Lyon as part of the Emirates Cup.
Additionally, Arsenal has already made a major transfer this summer, unlike Liverpool. Defender Riccardo Calafiori has joined the Gunners for 42 million. Arsenal will start the new season with a match against Wolverhampton on August 17.
