[English Pundit Session]
Jon Champion:
"Good evening and welcome to Los Angeles, where Arsenal and Liverpool meet under the bright lights of SoFi Stadium in what is—officially—a pre-season fixture, but let's be honest, there's nothing 'friendly' about this one.
Two giants of English football, both eager to fine-tune their squads ahead of the new campaign, and plenty of intrigue surrounding new faces, returning stars, and tactical adjustments."
Gary Neville:
"Yeah, Jon, you say 'friendly,' but I've been on the pitch for these types of games before, and trust me, when the whistle blows, no one is thinking about easing up.

Champion:
