Liverpool is back at Anfield on Sunday for the first time this preseason, hosting Monaco in a friendly two weeks out from the start of the Premier League season.
\n
Andoni Iraola's American tour started well but ended badly. The Reds beat Sunderland 4-2 in Nashville and Wrexham 1-0 at Yankee Stadium before Leeds hammered them 4-2 in Chicago.
\n
Liverpool finished fifth last season, and Iraola leaned hard on young players in the States. Alisson, Virgil van Dijk and Cody Gakpo are all back in training and in line for minutes.

\n
Monaco has a new manager too. Filipe Luís took over in July on a two-year deal, his first job in Europe after winning the Copa Libertadores with Flamengo.
\n
Monaco finished seventh in Ligue 1 and dropped into the Conference League, which cost Sébastien Pocognoli his job.
\n
The visitors bring United States forward Folarin Balogun, who is still with the French side as rumors about his future swirl. Maghnes Akliouche left for PSG on Thursday in a 50 million euro deal.
\n
Anfield plus a real first-choice spine should mean a different Liverpool than the one Leeds picked apart in Chicago. Monaco is further along in its own preseason but is breaking in a new coach and just lost a key attacker.
\n
Prediction: Liverpool 3, Monaco 1
