The Reds right-back has been a mainstay during the infancy of Arne Slot’s reign on Merseyside – playing 19 times this term to help catapult his side to the top of the Premier League and Champions League standings. However, speculation over his long-term future refuses to go away, with his contract set to expire at the end of the current campaign. As things stand, Alexander-Arnold will be allowed to leave his boyhood club for nothing in seven months’ time if he fails to sign a contract extension. According to the Athletic, an offer has been made to the Reds academy…
The Blues secured a 2-1 win at home to Brentford on Sunday to close the gap on league leaders Liverpool to just two points, although Arne Slot’s side have a game in hand. Maresca feels that the manner in which Chelsea concede goals will hinder their title hopes. As reported by The Mirror, Maresca said: ‘No matter how many games we win, I think we are not ready to compete for the title. ‘One of the reasons why is that the team that knows how to compete to win titles, they won’t concede goals we concede. A team that knows…
It almost felt like watching a relationship coming to an end in a soap opera as Pep Guardiola summed up his side’s latest defeat. “I’m not good enough, I’m not doing well. That is the truth,” the Manchester City boss admitted after his side’s capitulation against Manchester United. Liverpool of course will be delighted to hear him saying that. The Premier League title race is obviously far from over, but there was certainly an air of resignation from Guardiola after his side’s eighth – yes, eighth – defeat in 11 games. “I am the boss, the manager and I’m not…
Pep Guardiola has once again blamed the schedule for his side’s recent slump in form – although Liverpool won’t have much sympathy for the Manchester City boss. After picking up just one win in their last 10 games in all competitions, City’s hopes of silverware look to be in major peril. They’re already out of the Carabao Cup, while they have fallen off the pace in the Premier League and their place in the knockout stages of the Champions League remains in the balance with two games to go. The defending league champions have struggled with injuries this season, with…
Manchester City lost yet more ground on Liverpool as their dismal run of form continued against Manchester United. Having watched the Reds drop two points against Fulham on Saturday, Pep Guardiola’s side had the chance to cut their gap on the Premier League leaders to six points, and looked to be on the way to just a second win in their last 11 games after Josko Gvardiol’s first-half header. Exhibiting more of the problems that have beset them over the last month or so though, City imploded in the last few minutes, with Matheus Nunes conceding a penalty that Bruno…
The Reds will be without the super star for their midweek trip to Southampton in the League Cup quarter-finals as he serves a one-match suspension. Robertson has come in for criticism in some sections following the red card, with onlookers pointing towards his sub-par performances at times this season. The player himself publicly admitted that people had ‘written me off’ after a difficult showing against Arsenal back in October. However, Van Dijk pointed to the knee injury that Robertson had suffered in the first minute against Fulham as he shared his hope that his fellow defender could avoid an extended…
It’s an unfortunate truth of football that one team’s loss is always another team’s gain. Premier League sides raiding teams that have been relegated is a tale as old as time. And whilst the Premier League relegation race is still a complete open book, it is worth keeping an eye on the areas Liverpool could strengthen should a team go down. With the sacking of former Liverpool coach Gary O’Neil as Wolves manager today, the outlook for the Midlanders isn’t good. It is also surprising because their team is littered with some very good individual players. But none have been…
Liverpool head coach Arne Slot took a sarcastic swipe at match referee Tony Harrington after the 2-2 draw with Fulham. Harrington made numerous bad calls that tilted the game in favour of the West London club, eventually costing two points. Fulham survived two red card incidents in the first 10 minutes of the game as Harrington showed leniency towards them. Both the tackles from Fulham’s Issa Diop and Andreas Perreira involved harmful recklessness with no desire to play the ball. While referees sometimes face unfair criticism for subjective decisions, some of their calls are objectively wrong. Harrington produced a straight…
The 24-year-old full-back broke through the youth academy of Fulham as a youngster, making his first team debut at the age of just 16 during a 2016 EFL Cup game against Leyton Orient. After three full years at the London side and with 123 senior appearances under his belt, Sessegnon received a wealth of interest after catching the attention of a number of Premier League giants. Manchester United were reported to have touched base with the Craven Cottage faithful in May 2019, with hopes of bringing the rising talent to Old Trafford – while Spurs and Juventus were also thought…
Liverpool legend Craig Johnston was left in tears during an heart-warming interview as he made a long-awaited return to Anfield for the Reds’ 2-2 draw with Fulham. The 64-year-old made 271 appearances during seven years with the club, scoring 40 goals. A five-time league champion with Liverpool, he also scored in the Reds’ 3-1 FA Cup final victory over Everton in 1986, won the European Cup in 1984 and lifted two League Cups. However, his Anfield career came to a premature end in 1988 as he essentially retired to instead look after his sister, Faye, who had fallen seriously ill…
