Two of the most successful English Premier League clubs, Manchester United and Liverpool, will light up South Carolina as pre-season preparations end for both teams. This friendly at the Williams-Brice Stadium will be played on early Sunday morning, UK time, with the prediction of a high-scoring match.

United have two wins and two losses from their four friendlies, losing 1-0 to Rosenborg and 2-1 to Arsenal. Alternating with those results, they have defeated Rangers 2-0 and Real Betis 3-2. The form of Amad Diallo is a blessing for coach Erik Ten Hag, as the forward has scored two goals in the last three matches. This will be their last friendly on this tour before preparing for the season showdown against Manchester City in the Community Shield.

The worry for the Red Devils is the mounting injuries, with Marcus Rashford, Antony, Rasmus Hojlund, and even new signing Leny Yoro sidelined due to knocks. Liverpool don’t have such concerns, as new manager Arne Slot has an entire squad fit for selection. They narrowly edged Real Betis 1-0 before trumping Arsenal 2-1 in the friendlies. The Reds have one more friendly against Sevilla before the start of the Premier League season.

Harvey Elliott was the star of the show against Arsenal, assisting both Liverpool goals. The return of Ibrahima Konate and Ryan Gravenberch will further strengthen the squad's selection choices.
