Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson Becker does not believe history is repeating itself and insists it is futile making comparisons between the current Premier League leaders and the team which won a first title in 30 years in 2020. The Brazil international said success this season will not “erase the things we did in the past” but believes Arne Slot‘s team deserve to be judged on their own merits and not compared to the Jurgen Klopp side which won a host of trophies and reached three Champions League finals. Victory over Leicester on Boxing Day, coupled with Chelsea‘s shock home defeat to…
Liverpool’s schedule is relentless and a fourth competition will soon be added to the mix, with Arne Slot hinting at the next time we can expect rotation to come into play. Slot has been readily urged to rotate his starting lineups when the opportunity arises, with Liverpool having been burned one too many times when it comes to tired legs at the end of a season. If we take changes for and after a League Cup game out of the equation, Slot averages 2.3 changes to his XI per game – that figure is inflated to 3.8 when those cup…
Mohamed Salah is within touching distance of Thierry Henry’s Premier League goal tally ahead of Liverpool’s trip to West Ham. The Reds take on the Hammers at the London Stadium on Sunday evening, in another vital game for Arne Slot‘s side. Victory would be another huge step in the right direction in the title race, finishing 2024 in style in the process. Salah (173) is now just two goals away from joining Henry (175) in joint-seventh place on the all-time Premier League goalscorers chart. He also requires one goal to register 20 for Liverpool in all competitions for the eighth…
Liverpool have been told why Trent Alexander-Arnold is destined to leave for Real Madrid, with a former Reds star and an ex-Everton manager weighing in on the situation. Alexander-Arnold has been allowed to enter the final seven months of his Liverpool contract, which has led to plenty of speculation about a possible exit. The world-class right-back has been linked with Barcelona and even Manchester City, but it is Real Madrid who are leading the chase for his services. Madrid hope to finalise a pre-contract agreement with Alexander-Arnold after January 1, which would set up a free transfer to the Spanish…
Trent Alexander-Arnold appears to be falling for Real Madrid’s games. It’ll cost him what he’s built with Liverpool. Trent Alexander-Arnold – where is he playing after this season? Right now, you could flip a coin to have a good chance of finding out. Though, it seems that the right-back is leaning one way. Marca now reports that Alexander-Arnold has informed Liverpool that he wants to move to Madrid and while the Liverpool Echo deny that claim, it’s hard not to feel the fire through all the smoke. Alexander-Arnold would have a new contract with Liverpool if he were eager to…
Thankfully, injuries aren’t a huge issue for Liverpool at present, with just two current absentees. Ibrahima Konate and Conor Bradley are both missing but Slot seemed to imply in his pre-match press conference that the pair could be back in contention to face Manchester United next week. In the midst of a busy run of fixtures, rotation could be on Slot’s mind, but with a rare midweek off for the Reds before the United clash, the Dutchman might be tempted to name his strongest XI and hope to get through the West Ham fixture without any fresh issues. That will…
Trent Alexander-Arnold has some big decisions to make over the next few months, and possibly even weeks. In four days’ time, the boyhood Liverpool fan could begin negotiating an exit from the club he joined at the age of six. According to a report in MARCA today, Alexander-Arnold has told Real Madrid that he’ll join the European champions in the summer. The attraction of joining Los Blancos, one the biggest clubs and most successful sides in the history of world soccer, is obvious — and that’s before you consider the weather. And despite both establishing themselves as fan favorites during…
There have been 21 Liverpool and West Ham United double-agents who have represented both the Reds and the Hammers in the English top-flight during the Premier League era. This includes Danny Ings, who will come up against his former club when Arne Slot’s men travel to the London Stadium on Sunday. Liverpool have ultimately acted as a step up for the likes of Javier Mascherano, Yossi Benayoun and Glen Johnson, while Andy Carroll, Stewart Downing and Joe Cole were among those to be offloaded to West Ham when their Reds careers did not pan out as planned. But there could…
In three days’ time the January transfer window opens. Safe to say there will be not be major calls for Liverpool to make signings. After all, the Reds currently sit top of the Premier League, top of the Champions League and are through to the Carabao Cup semi-finals. So, if any purchases are to be made, they will have to have the quality to make their mark on a Liverpool squad that as well as currently sweeping asides all comers, could be back to full strength by the time of Manchester United’s visit to Anfield on January 5. Regardless, it’s…
The former Man United team-mates fought in Enzo Maresca and Arne Slot’s corners, and came to blows over which boss is more deserving of the award so far. Liverpool and Chelsea lie first and third in the table respectively, as Slot’s men maintain a healthy six-point lead over Arsenal in second, and still have a game in hand. Speaking on his YouTube channel Rio Ferdinand Presents, the six-time Premier League winner argued in favour of Maresca, citing the Blues’ impressive turnaround from last season, where they finished a disappointing sixth place. He said: ‘It’s not a big difference. I just…
