Past meetings: Three previous games against Liverpool in America

The sides have previously clashed stateside in 2004, 2012 and 2014: so far Roma lead the overall standings with two victories to one.

The first time an American audience witnessed these two clubs facing off was on 3 August 2004 in the old Giants Stadium in East Meadowlands, New Jersey.

The Reds emerged victorious on that occasion thanks to goals from Michael Owen and Djibril Cisse - cancelling out Marco Delvecchio's opener.

Both the second and third encounters took place at historic baseball stadium Fenway Park in Boston, nicknamed “The Cathedral” by American fans because of its stature in the game.

On 25 July 2012, Zdenek Zeman's Giallorossi won 2-1 thanks to a fine strike on the edge of the area from American midfielder Michael Bradley in the 63rd minute and an Alessandro Florenzi goal six minutes later, after the Italian had shown quick reflexes to pounce on a spill from Peter Gulacsi in goal.

Charlie Adam got the English side what turned out to be a consolation goal ten minutes from full-time.
