Liverpool kicked off their US tour with a 1-0 win against Real Betis under new manager Arne Slot. Dominik Szoboszlai scored the lone goal at Pittsburgh's Acrisure Stadium. Notable absentees included Andy Robertson due to an ankle injury. The match was a promising start for Slot's tenure at Liverpool.
Chelsea begins their pre-season tour with a match against Wrexham at Levi's Stadium in California. Under new manager Enzo Maresca, the team looks to build on last summer's 5-0 victory. The game will be broadcast on ESPN locally and on Chelsea's platforms in the UK. Several key players will be absent due to international duty, while new signings might make their debut.
