Fans think they have spotted the ‘real reason’ Trent Alexander-Arnold raised his hand to his ear and mimicked a talking gesture when he scored Liverpool’s fourth goal in the 5-0 away win against West Ham at the London Stadium on Sunday. Alexander-Arnold, 26, put in an impressive performance, registering an assist for Cody Gakpo’s strike in the 40th minute as well as getting on the scoresheet himself. Despite his fine showing, fans have a theory about what his unusual celebration meant. They took to X to explain how his ‘talking’ celebration was almost identical to how Jude Bellingham celebrated after…
After a first half where Mo Salah created yet more magic, the Reds never held back at the start of the second and Trent Alexander-Arnold was soon in on the act. With less than 10 minutes played, the Scouser found himself in space and had little reason not to fire a speculative effort at goal. As much as our vice captain certainly has it in his locker to find the back of the net from this distance, this was not one of his best shots and it would have been safely caught by Alphonse Areola had his teammate not intervened.…
Liverpool had opened the scoring on the half-hour mark and looked comfortable but two pieces of Salah magic within four minutes seemed to put the game out of sight before half time. Luis Diaz scored the opener and he found the Egyptian King with a clever cross but the magic came when our record league goal scorer somehow managed to nutmeg the onrushing defender and seemingly play a pass into the path of Cody Gakpo. The Dutchman fired home with five minutes remaining of the half and it seemed like Arne Slot’s side would see the first 45 out. Instead,…
Liverpool endured a hard-fought battle against Leicester City on Boxing Day, eventually running out 3-1 winners. Leicester took the lead early on, but Liverpool were too strong and ended up dominating the second half. Slot made some big decisions for that game, resting Dominik Szoboszlai, who is now suspended for today’s West Ham clash after picking up a late yellow card after coming on as a substitute. Arne Slot will be hoping to finish the year on a high – a victory today would cement Liverpool’s status as the best team in England going into 2025. The Reds have faced…
Trent Alexander-Arnold’s move to Real Madrid is all but done, according to reports in Spain, with the Liverpool FC star’s signature now the only thing missing. Everything else is said to have been agreed for a transfer which would unite Alexander-Arnold with England team-mate and good friend Jude Bellingham at the Bernabeu. The Liverpool academy graduate has never played for any other club, but with his contract due to expire in June, he will be free to discuss a pre-contract agreement with an overseas club from Wednesday onwards. Talks between Alexander-Arnold’s entourage and Real Madrid have reportedly been taking place…
In a stunning development, Liverpool has identified a ready-made replacement for Trent Alexander-Arnold, and it’s none other than their very own Calvin Ramsay! The 20-year-old Scottish right-back, signed from Aberdeen last summer, has been impressing in training and is now poised to step up and fill the void left by Alexander-Arnold’s impending departure. Ramsay’s pace, skill, and attacking prowess have drawn comparisons to Alexander-Arnold, and Jürgen Klopp is said to be confident in the youngster’s ability to make the transition to the first team seamless. With Ramsay waiting in the wings, Liverpool’s transfer budget remains intact, allowing them to focus…
The Reds picked up three more points on Boxing Day, following a 3-1 victory at home to Leicester. Next up for Liverpool is Sunday’s trip to the London Stadium, as they take on an unpredictable West Ham side. Here’s all you need to know ahead of the game. 1. No new injuries for Liverpool Conor Bradley and Ibrahima Konate are still missing for Liverpool, but they are the only injury absentees. Bradley continues to nurse a hamstring issue, while Konate has a knee problem, and Slot has not yet ruled out either marking a return against Man United on January…
The Reds closed off their calendar year at Anfield on a winning note, forced to come from behind to lift the fog in their 3-1 win over Leicester. It was not Liverpool’s most eye-catching performance under Slot, but three points added to the tally is all that matters as the Reds aim to retain or build on the gap to their challengers. West Ham pose a different challenge on Sunday and they will be without several key players for the fixture – that isn’t to say Liverpool can underestimate the side in 13th. So, how could Slot line up his…
Liverpool end a hectic run of 10 games in 36 days today when they take on West Ham United in their final fixture of 2024. Remarkably, they head to the London Stadium with a close to fully fit squad. While West Ham have played two fewer matches in the same space of time, their selection problems are far greater. But like Liverpool, they will go into the contest, which gets under way at 5.15pm, in good form. The Hammers have won two and drawn two of their last four Premier League outings to pull nine points clear of the relegation…

The Reds have won their last two top-flight fixtures against Tottenham Hotspur and Leicester City and will be looking to end 2024 with another victory. Slot has been forced to deal with several injury concerns throughout his first…
