Liverpool are back in Premier League action on Boxing Day with the visit of Leicester City in an evening kick-off (8pm). And the Reds are still waiting to discover when they can welcome back several of their players. Ibrahima Konate hasn’t been seen since he picked up a knee injury during the closing stages of the Champions League win over Real Madrid at Anfield a month ago. The France international was clattered into by a poor challenge from Real substitute Endrick and has subsequently missed six games with initial reports indicating the centre-back is unlikely to be available until the…
Liverpool put in a remarkable team performance as they thrashed Tottenham Hotspur 6-3 on Sunday. Mohamed Salah was in electric form for the Reds, returning two goals and two assists to help his side extend their lead at the top of the Premier League table to four points. Luis Diaz also registered a brace, while Alexis Mac Allister and Dominik Szoboszlai were also both on the scoresheet as Arne Slot lauded his team’s performance as one of their very best attacking displays since he took over as head coach. Now in the thick of the Premier League festive period, Liverpool…
Virgil van Dijk has steered clear of early speculation about a potential ‘Quadruple’, unlike his Liverpool team-mate Trent Alexander-Arnold last season. When asked if he believed Arne Slot’s team could clinch all four major trophies, following their 6-3 demolition of Tottenham, Van Dijk refused to look beyond their next match against Leicester City on Boxing Day. The Reds were widely tipped for the Quadruple during the 2019/20 and 2021/22 seasons, as well as the previous term. Under Jurgen Klopp, Liverpool did manage to win the Premier League title, the FA Cup, and two League Cups over those seasons. Last season,…
From the outside looking in, not many will believe that Liverpool’s squad is in need of reinforcements based on the first half of the season. The Reds have a four-point lead at the top of the Premier League table with a game in hand; they also lead the Champions League standings. Now, however, the January transfer window is just around the corner, and with it will come rumours about the players Liverpool may or may not want to sign. The Reds have not been shy about splashing the cash in the New Year when necessary in the past. Several players…
Mohamed Salah has once again been criticised by his Muslim followers after posting a picture of him and his family in front of a Christmas tree. The Liverpool star, who is a Muslim, captioned the photo with ‘#MerryChristmas’. As has become the tradition for them, he, his wife wife Magi, and daughters Makka and Kayan posed in matching pyjamas for his Christmas post, smiling in front of their tree and a gingerbread person. Muslims do not traditionally celebrate Christmas but some do partake in the festivities that take place during the Christian holiday. ‘You let me down bro,’ wrote one…

Zay Flowers is to Lamar Jackson what Nico Collins is to C.J. Stroud: a giving gift this holiday season. Despite speculation of his status for Wednesday’s showdown at NRG Stadium, the Baltimore Ravens second-year receiver should be good to go come kickoff against the Houston Texans. Here’s the latest surrounding Flowers’ status entering Christmas afternoon. Zay Flowers injury update According to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport, the Ravens’ No. 1 target is expected to play in his team’s Week 17 Christmas Showdown against the Texans.

The Baltimore Ravens and Houston Texans faced off twice last season, first in the season opener and again in the divisional round. This season, the two AFC contenders get together for a Christmas Day clash in H-Town. To help us preview the playoff rematch, we sat down with Houston Texans On SI writer Jeremy Brener ahead of the main event. The Texans are AFC South champions once again, but it feels like many expected more out of them. What do you believe has gone right and wrong this season? Jeremy: “They are a .600 team. They are good 60 percent…
Somehow, the news surrounding Houston Texans wide receiver Tank Dell’s gruesome knee injury keeps worsening. He was already ruled out for the remainder of the 2024 campaign, but his status for 2025 (and potentially beyond) is officially in danger. Dell tore the ACL, LCL and MCL in his dislocated left kneecap and also sustained additional meniscus damage. Unfortunately, the severity of the matter means he faces an incredibly long and ostensibly improbable road to recovery. Not only will the talented second-year wideout be out for this season, but his absence will presumably extend through 2025 — and possibly beyond. The…
