Liverpool’s next festive assignment sees them head to West Ham, but how much pressure is Julen Lopetegui under? The Reds won 3-1 at home to Leicester on Boxing Day, ensuring that they went seven points clear at the top of the Premier League before Arsenal later reduced the gap to six. Next up for Arne Slot‘s table-topping side is a trip to West Ham in the Premier League on Sunday afternoon. The Hammers have had a season to forget so far, sitting 13th, but they did win 1-0 away to Southampton in their last outing. Ahead of the match, TIA…
Martin Keown has identified three matches at the beginning of the year which Liverpool can further underline its title credentials in. The Reds’ status as Premier League favorites was cemented with Sunday’s 6-3 victory over Tottenham, with Arne Slot’s men four points clear of second-placed Chelsea and with a game in hand over Enzo Maresca’s men. Liverpool faces Leicester and West Ham before the year is out, but Keown pinpointed games against Bournemouth, Brentford and Nottingham Forest as fixtures which could test Arne Slot’s side at the beginning of the new year. All three games fall within Liverpool’s first five…
Liverpool extended its unbeaten streak to 22 matches in all competitions with a 3-1 victory over Leicester City at Anfield on Boxing Day, taking it seven points clear at the top of the Premier League. Jordan Ayew’s early goal for Leicester was countered by Cody Gakpo, followed by second-half goals from Curtis Jones and Mohamed Salah. This puts Arne Slot’s team comfortably ahead with a game in hand against Everton. As always, the UK’s biggest media outlets were in attendance at Anfield to give their verdict on the Reds’ latest showing. Paul Joyce – The Times “Ruud van Nistelrooy would…
Liverpool scored three goals and it could have been more against Leicester, with Luis Diaz not even required off the bench. A few days earlier, the Reds notched six at Spurs but could have got close to 10. Clearly, scoring is not an issue right now, and yet there is still a question mark about the number nine position heading into 2025. Darwin Nunez is still not clinical and Diogo Jota tends to pick up injuries. Given that is the case, signing a new striker could become priority at some stage. Here is the Liverpool.com verdict on the transfer gossip…
A Spanish report is insistent that Trent Alexander-Arnold has told Liverpool he wants to play for Real Madrid, but you can take it with a pinch of salt. The longer the contract situation remains unresolved, the longer we have to deal with countless reports updating us on Alexander-Arnold’s ‘wish’ to join Real Madrid. Liverpool’s vice-captain may yet play for Los Blancos next season, but the latest reports out of Spain suggest Real Madrid propaganda. MARCA claim that the Scouser has “already told Liverpool’s directors he wants to play for Real Madrid,” with a renewal at Anfield “becoming more and more…
Serie A side Atalanta is being linked with a surprise move for Federico Chiesa as the Italian winger’s struggles to get his Liverpool career off the ground continue. Chiesa joined the Reds from Juventus last summer but has made just four appearances for his new club, with the vast majority of his minutes coming in the Carabao Cup. The forward did not play at all between September 25 and December 18 as he was put on a specialized training programme in a bid to prepare him for the rigors of English football. Chiesa made his comeback appearance during the Carabao…
2025 is almost here, and what a year it could prove to be for Liverpool. The Reds know they will enter the New Year leading the race for the Premier League title after their 3-1 win over Leicester on Boxing Day. Even with a game against West Ham still to come before 2024 is over, nearest challengers Arsenal and Chelsea will not be able to overtake them before January 1. Even with a six-point lead and a game in hand at the moment, Arne Slot won’t be allowing his players to look too far ahead. Looking at the calendar though,…
It’s been another good week for Liverpool, with its lead at the top of the Premier League having grown after the latest round of fixtures. Having spent Christmas with a four-point lead over Chelsea, the Reds now sit six clear of their nearest rivals after the Blues slipped up against Fulham. Arsenal is now the biggest threat to Arne Slot’s side after its victory over Ipswich took it up to second. Liverpool knows it will go into 2025 in pole position, with Chelsea now sitting seven points behind, while Manchester City lost even more ground as their remarkable slide continues.…
As time grows shorter, the uncertain future of particular players becomes much more real. The situation involving Mohamed Salah, Virgil van Dijk and Trent-Alexander Arnold is turning from a small rumour to a sickening reality. With no movement on the renewal of all of their contracts, time is simply running out before clubs will be able to speak to Liverpool’s game-changers about agreeing terms to move elsewhere. They can all agree pre-contracts with overseas clubs from January 1st. But in the case of Trent, it seems as though he already has one foot out of the door and Reds fans…
The January transfer window is now just days away, though the focus at Liverpol will be around contracts. The futures of Virgil van Dijk, Mo Salah and Trent Alexander-Arnold are all up in the air. Their deals will expire at the end of the current season, with little public sign of progress in talks with any of the trio. Alexander-Arnold is being closely monitored by Real Madrid, with the Spanish giants having long been linked with the right-back. Salah and Van Dijk meanwhile are hoping to extend their stays at Anfield. Liverpool will also be looking to add to Arne…
