Liverpool's U18s will head to the United States later this week to compete in the prestigious Dallas Cup.

Barry Lewtas’ squad are set to cross the Atlantic ahead of their opening match of the tournament on Sunday evening, against Mexican outfit Tigres UANL.

That fixture will be played at the iconic Cotton Bowl Stadium.

Liverpool then face New York City FC the following day as part of the Bracket A schedule, which also features South Africa’s Ikapa Sporting FC.

The semi-finals will be held on Friday April 19 before the competition’s final two days later.
