Javier Aguirre's men didn't have too many players skip the Gold Cup this year, although Hirving Lozano, Henry Martin, Uriel Antuna, and Luis Romo are absent familiar faces. Fulham's Raul Jimenez, West Ham's Edson Alvarez, Bournemouth's Julian Araujo, Genoa's Johan Vasquez, and seemingly eternal Guillermo Ochoa, now with AVS in Portugal, are all in the fold.
Dominican Republic focus, team news
Nice's Pablo Rosario has won the Eredivisie and represented the Netherlands at several youth levels, while Junior Firpo helped Leeds to Premier League promotion after spending four seasons between Real Betis and Barcelona.
Los Quisqueyanos are coming off a split of World Cup qualifiers, falling 4-2 away to Guatemala and beating Dominica 5-0. Expect to see plenty of Real Madrid prospect Edgar Pujol and Getafe right wing Peter Gonzalez.
Mexico vs Dominican Republic prediction
Los Quisqueyanos won't be a walkover, but Mexico will want to set a title pace to start the tournament. They are, after all, presumptive favorites along with Canada given the USMNT roster and recent performances. Mexico 3-1 Dominican Republic

Manchester United's dismal Premier League season will finally draw to a close on Sunday as Aston Villa visit Old Trafford. All 20 teams will kick off their last matches of the season simultaneously on Sunday, with European qualification still on the line for several teams. Advertisement CLICK HERE TO FOLLOW MANCHESTER UNITED VS ASTON VILLA LIVE! United have little more than their honour to play for, though. The match will be their first since losing the Europa League final to Tottenham on Wednesday, and, with the club unable to finish higher than 14th in the table, one cannot imagine many supporters sticking around for the post-match lap of appreciation. United have broken all the wrong records this season, set for their worst-ever points tally and first-ever bottom-half finish of the Premier League era. Their guests, Villa, have far more on the line with a Champions berth still available, and will like their chances against a jetlagged United. They are level on points with Newcastle and Chelsea, but trail in the standings thanks to weak goal difference. Advertisement Even a win will not be enough to qualify - they will also need Man City to lose to Fulham, or Chelsea or Newcastle to drop points in their matches against Nottingham Forest and Everton, respectively. Where to watch Man United vs Aston Villa TV channel: In the UK, the game will be televised live on TNT Sports 1. Coverage begins at 3pm BST ahead of kick-off at 4pm.

Liverpool have no Florian Wirtz alternative as truth about transfer spend emerges
Even before an agreement with Bayer Leverkusen had been reached over £116m Florian Wirtz, Liverpool were being subjected to the sniping of rivals. 'That's the last of the Phillippe Coutinho money' went the prod in the direction of the Premier League champions, with tongues firmly pressed into cheeks. The inference being, of course, that the Reds have somehow pretended to stretch the £142m fee received from Barcelona over seven years ago in an effort to present a false reality of a club who don't spend heavily in the transfer market. Advertisement For the avoidance of doubt, the sale of Coutinho in January 2018 did facilitate the arrivals of £75m Virgil van Dijk and £65m Alisson Becker, which, quite neatly rounded up to a nice, even £140m and almost directly led to Jurgen Klopp's Liverpool going from pretenders to contenders and then serial winners of every major trophy between the years 2019 and 2022. READ MORE: Liverpool could have another mega transfer to come with dream signing and Arsenal hijack considered In short, the departure of the Brazil playmaker was one of the greatest deals in modern football. But, of course, Liverpool have not made a habit of such an extraordinary outlay that is being paid for Germany international Wirtz. In fact, only two senior players have officially been signed for the Reds since the transfer window closed in August 2023. Jeremie Frimpong's £29m release clause was triggered last month to add to the £12m addition of Federico Chiesa last year. Advertisement That means that the Reds have spent, inclusive of add-ons, £41m in two years. That is around £10m more than Brighton & Hove Albion have just paid to land Charalampos Kostoulas from Olympiakos. The imminent arrival of goalkeeper Giorgi Mamardashvili, at £29m, takes the Reds to £70m on sporting director Richard Hughes's watch. Throw in the addition of Wirtz at £116m, which is, again, inclusive of all add-ons, and it takes Liverpool's spending in the Arne Slot era to £186m, which, while not an insignificant amount, pales in comparison to the likes of Chelsea, whose spendthrift model has seen them lay out the thick end of £350m during that same timeframe. Such has been the Londoners' disorienting level of recruitment, in fact, that they have named a 28-man squad for this month's Club World Cup and have still been able to omit £47.5m Raheem Sterling, £38.5m Axel Disasi, £45m Ben Chilwell and £45m Joao Felix. Manchester City, meanwhile, are careering towards a total of £320m themselves since the start of last season, while Manchester United continue to spend good money after bad on a string of players unsuited or ill equipped to perform at Old Trafford. Just the £209m spent last summer, for those keeping score. Advertisement Since the start of the decade, Liverpool sit outside the top 10 for money spent in the Premier League and the eye-watering and potential British-record addition of Germany international Wirtz only moves them into eighth, around £30m short of West Ham United. So no, the Coutinho is long gone at Anfield, spent wisely on two of the greatest players the club have ever had in Alisson and Van Dijk and that, ironically, is the level Wirtz is being viewed at internally at Anfield. That means the pressure is on immediately and at that sort of price, the pitch forks will be out from those hoping it falls on its face as hopelessly as many of those aforementioned Chelsea deals. But if a risk-averse and often parsimonious strategy to signings has taught anything over the last few years at Anfield, it's that Liverpool often get it right when it's time to spend big. For them, unlike some of their rivals, there is no alternative.

Mexico president calls for US immigration forces to spare fans at LA soccer game
Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum sent a message to US immigration forces in Los Angeles, asking for grace for fans at the Mexico vs. Dominican Republic Gold Cup soccer game at SoFi Stadium Saturday. 'We don't believe that at any soccer match there will be any [immigration] action … we call for none to be taken by US Immigration and Customs Enforcement,' Sheinbaum said in a Friday press conference.
