Americans Abroad Weekend Preview: Pulisic, Brooks, and more

13 Shares

Christian Pulisic has already lifted the FIFA Club World Cup this winter and now could add the Carabao Cup to his growing trophy cabinet on Sunday.

Pulisic and Chelsea will face off with Liverpool at Wembley Stadium on Sunday with both English Premier League clubs aiming to bring home the league cup trophy. The U.S. men’s national team forward is coming off a strong outing in UEFA Champions League play midweek, where he scored the second goal in a 2-0 Round of 16 first leg victory over French visitors Lille. The 23-year-old Pulisic has raised his performances in recent weeks and after scoring on Tuesday, will be full of confidence against Jurgen Klopp and his in-form Liverpool squad.

Should Chelsea knock off the Reds in London, it will be its third different trophy won in the past nine months. Liverpool comes into the match in great form, winning nine-consecutive matches and recently trouncing Leeds United 6-0 in league play. It will be the final meeting between Chelsea and Liverpool this season, unless the two English clubs meet in the latter stages of the Champions League tournament.

In Germany, John Brooks and Wolfsburg visit Borussia Moenchengladbach. Ricardo Pepi and Augburg face a stern test against Borussia Dortmund. Timmy Chandler and Eintracht Frankfurt welcome Bayern Munich to town.

In England, Josh Sargent and Norwich City visit Southampton in Premier League play. Ethan Horvath is expected to start once again for Nottingham Forest against Bristol City.

In Spain, Sergino Dest and Barcelona face off with Athletic Bilbao on Sunday. Yunus Musah and Valencia visit Mallorca.

In Italy, Gianluca Busio, Tanner Tessmann and Venezia visit Hellas Verona. Weston McKennie continues his injury spell on the sidelines.

In France, Konrad De La Fuente and Erik Palmer-Brown could go head-to-head in Ligue 1 play.

Elsewhere, Cameron Carter-Vickers and Chris Mueller will meet in Scottish Premiership action on Sunday. Brenden Aaronson and Red Bull Salzburg visit LASK in Austrian league play. Christian Cappis and Emmanuel Sabbi continue the resumption of their league schedule in Denmark. Alan Sonora and Independiente square off with Boca Juniors in Argentina while Sebastian Saucedo and Pumas host Club America.
