Team news: Five changes made for tour finale

Lincoln Financial Field

Mikel Arteta has made five changes to his side for our final tour match against Liverpool, with Kai Havertz, Gabriel and Gabriel Martinelli all coming into the side.

The trio all came on the final 30 minutes of our 2-1 win against Manchester United on Saturday, but are given the chance to add more minutes under their belts from the start against the Reds.

The other switches see Thomas Partey preferred to Jorginho, and Jakub Kiwior come into the side with Jurrien Timber rested. He will watch the game alongside Riccardo Calafiori from the stands, who has been given extra time to get settled into the club before being thrown into the fray.

Arne Slot meanwhile has made two changes from the team that beat Real Betis last Friday, with Diogo Jota handed his first minutes of pre-season after playing for Portugal at Euro 2024.

Meanwhile Owen Beck is handed a start with Wataru Endo dropping to the bench where he is joined by Ryan Gravenberch and Ibrahima Konate who seek their first pre-season action.
