Iraola hit the ground running with friendly wins over Sunderland (4-2) and Wrexham (1-0), but the honeymoon period ended when Liverpool blew a 2-0 lead against Leeds in Chicago by losing 4-2.
The former Bournemouth boss was keen to put a positive slant on that performance, though. He told the club website: “Obviously, it's not the result you want but I think probably the most useful friendly we played – in a positive way in the first half and in a negative way in the second half. “I think we've learned a lot and I think we can take good conclusions and solve some things.”
World Cup stars Florian Wirtz, Alexander Isak and Ryan Gravenberch should all benefit from getting their first taste of pre-season action at Soldier Field and preparations are now well under way for the new Premier League campaign. Another fast start would definitely be appreciated by the Anfield faithful and 6/5 for the Reds to be ahead at half-time is added to our Liverpool vs Monaco betting tips.
Monaco form guide
Les Monegasques suffered a domestic dip in form last season, slipping from second and third in the previous two campaigns to finish seventh in France’s top division. Having only replaced Adi Hutter in October, Sebastien Pocognoli paid the price for claiming just one win in the final six matches when subsequently sent packing.
Former Atletico Madrid and Chelsea full-back Filipe Luis has been handed the task of turning things around following a successful stint in charge of Flamengo in his native Brazil . Losing highly-rated young midfielder Aladji Bamba to Newcastle for around £35million was a blow, but making Ansu Fati’s move from Barcelona a permanent one following a promising loan spell looks a good bit of business.
USA World Cup ace Folarin Balogun, who has been linked with a switch to Tottenham this week, combined well with Fati last term as they grabbed 24 Ligue 1 goals between them. This is an attacking team by nature and they only failed to score in one of their last 15 competitive fixtures last term, with just two clean sheets kept during the same period.
Notable results in the Champions League included 2-2 draws with Manchester City and PSG , who had previously beaten them 3-2 and so prevailed 5-4 on aggregate. However, a 6-1 thrashing at Real Madrid , a 4-1 loss away to Club Brugge and a 2-2 draw at Pafos highlighted their defensive frailties on the road. That makes 2/1 for Liverpool to win and both teams to score a tempting option.
