Liverpool’s star player Mohamed Salah might be absent for a significant part of next season, even if he signs a new deal at Anfield. The reason behind this is the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON), which is scheduled to take place from December 21, 2025, to January 18, 2026.¹ As Salah is an Egyptian national, he will likely be called up to represent his country in the AFCON. This would mean that he would miss several Liverpool games during the festive period, including crucial Premier League matches and potentially even the League Cup semi-finals. It’s worth noting that Sergio Aguero…
Liverpool look set to assess their options in the transfer market in terms of signing a new forward in 2025. As things stand, the Reds are going to have to find a replacement for Mohamed Salah, who’s contract is due to end next summer. In the meantime, there have also been claims that Liverpool could try and replace Darwin Nunez after it became clear that the Uruguayan may never make the grade at Anfield. But while the Reds are rumoured to be looking at players such as Omar Marmoush and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, perhaps they would do well to keep in…
Jamie Carragher has cast doubts over Chelsea’s Premier League title-winning credentials this season, despite acknowledging Enzo Maresca’s edge in what has emerged as a surprising bid to end a seven-year wait to be crowned champions again. The Blues are on an impressive streak with five consecutive wins and could leapfrog Liverpool to the top spot this weekend, capitalising on their unexpected momentum. With a game in hand, Arne Slot’s side will be looking to respond after Chelsea’s potential climb during their visit to Everton on Sunday. Tottenham await Liverpool just several hours later. Chelsea have managed to create a buffer…
A mum was left in tears after what Liverpool FC players led by captain Virgil van Dijk did for her son. Archie White, 12, is currently receiving treatment in Alder Hey. Archie was recently diagnosed with myeloid sarcoma – a rare form of cancer condition that affects less than one in a million children. He is from Wrexham and is a huge supporter of the town’s flourishing football team, bringing his shirts and scarf with him to the children’s hospital in West Derby. His mum Sarah Jane Kyffin said: “He’s been so brave. He’s kept his cheeky personality throughout and…
Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Rodrigo Bentancur will serve his full seven-game suspension an independent appeal board dismissed an appeal from the player. Bentancur was hit with the ban by the FA for a racist remark made about teammate Son Heung-Min and the South Korea national side during the summer. The 27-year-old has already missed key matches against Chelsea and Manchester City after missing five matches. He was also handed a £100,000 fine by the FA as the results of an investigation were confirmed last month. The denial of the appeal means he will be out of Thursday’s Carabao Cup clash at…
Liverpool are bidding to reach the Carabao Cup semi-final for the third time in four years when they make the trip down to Southampton on Wednesday. Arne Slot’s side have been impressive in this cup competition so far this season, having swept past West Ham and Brighton to get to this stage. Although Southampton are the lowest ranked team the Reds would have faced in the Carabao Cup, it does feel as though the trip to St Mary’s has a different feel to it. This is because Saints parted company with manager Russell Martin on Sunday following their dismal 5-0…
Liverpool will square off with Southampton at Saint Mary’s Stadium for the second time this season as both sides go head to head in the EFL Cup quarter-final. The Reds head to the south coast as overwhelming favourites, looking to extend their fantastic unbeaten streak to 20 games across all competitions. Arne Slot’s side eked out a narrow 3-2 win against Brighton & Hove Albion to reach the last eight, while Southampton saw off Championship side Stoke City by an identical scoreline. Liverpool have already gotten one over Southampton this season, coming from behind to claim a 3-2 win in…
A boyhood Reds fan, the forward boasted a perhaps underwhelming record against Liverpool. Making 27 appearances, he won only six times, recording two goals and three assists. But two of his more memorable moments for Arsenal arguably came against the Reds, running the length of the pitch twice to claim assists against Liverpool at Anfield in the Champions League in April 2008 and again in the Premier League 12 months later. It was with the Gunners where Walcott spent the bulk of his career. A £12m signing from Southampton in January 2006, he made 397 appearances for Arsenal over 12…
Liverpool boss Arne Slot accepts he let his emotions get the better of him at the weekend but is hopeful his touchline ban will not have a major impact. Slot must sit in the stands for Wednesday’s Carabao Cup quarter-final at Southampton after collecting a third booking of the season in the 2-2 draw against Fulham on Saturday. The Dutchman is usually a becalmed figure in the technical area – particularly when compared to his excitable predecessor Jurgen Klopp – but he admits he overstepped the mark and should tone it down. Speaking at a press conference, Slot said: “You…
Arne Slot has admitted he has tried to “influence” the decisions of referees in the Premier League on two occasions, in order to help sway the momentum in favour of Liverpool. It has been a spectacular start to his tenure as the Reds’ boss, one which few may have expected. He has helped his side rank top of the Premier League table by December, and the prospect of winning the league title in his first season is well and truly alive. It isn’t often the Dutch tactician has found himself in tense situations thus far, given he has only coached…
