Geodis Park, which opened in 2022, provides a modern setting for the pre-season contest.

Liverpool's Pre-Season Preparations
Liverpool enter the 2026-27 season under Arne Slot, who took over from Jürgen Klopp at the end of the 2023-24 campaign. The Dutch manager has overseen a period of transition at Anfield, blending experienced internationals with emerging academy talent. The US tour provides crucial minutes for the squad ahead of the Premier League opener.
Key players expected to feature include Mohamed Salah, who remains integral to Liverpool's attack, alongside new signings and developing talents. The Sunderland friendly offers Slot an opportunity to test tactical formations and evaluate squad depth before the competitive season begins.
