Liverpool are back in Premier League action for the first time in 10 days as they take on Fulham this weekend. The Reds saw their lead at the top of the table cut to four points last time out as they had to sit and watch their title rivals following the Merseyside Derby’s cancellation. Fresh from seeing his team put in a slightly iffy display at Girona in midweek, Arne Slot will be hoping for better from Liverpool on Saturday. Here’s the XI we think the Liverpool head coach will put out to face the Cottagers at Anfield. Liverpool were…
The enigma that is Darwin Nunez continues to baffle and frustrate Liverpool fans – only now, patience looks to be wearing thin among many supporters. The Uruguayan has come in for more criticism following his latest showing against Girona in the Champions League. Seeing the 25-year-old spurn chances is nothing new, but the sheer lack of goals this season means many fans are at the end of their tether with him. Just three goals in 19 appearances this season is certainly not a great return for a No.9 that could end up costing Liverpool $109m (£85m/€100m) when all add-ons are…
Liverpool refrained from spending the big bucks in the summer, but that is unlikely to be the case in the upcoming transfer windows. The Reds have a strong with the right mix of youth and experience, but that doesn’t mean there’s no scope for improvement. Arne Slot now has an informed opinion on all of his players and it remains to be seen how he proceeds from now. Liverpool’s forward line is widely regarded as their strongest area on the pitch as they currently have six options for three positions, but a handful of attack-minded players have been linked with…
Liverpool’s Anfield Stadium is steeped in history and tradition, but one quirk has left many fans scratching their heads: the ban on away teams wearing white socks. But what’s behind this unusual rule? The origins of the ban date back to the 1980s, when Liverpool was dominating European football. According to reports, the club’s management decided to implement the ban as a way to maintain a psychological edge over their opponents. The idea was that by forcing away teams to change their socks, Liverpool could disrupt their opponents’ routine and gain a mental advantage. It may seem like a small…
Liverpool’s staff Christmas Party – at the city’s cathedral – was shut down early after suspected drug paraphernalia was found in the toilets. Officials at the venue were moved to carry out searches after a medical emergency took place during the glitzy Thursday night bash, which was attended by around 500 club workers. The emergency triggered concerns that drugs were being taken and subsequent checks of the toilets at the iconic building unearthed a number of empty snag bags, which are often used to contain illegal substances. As a result, the decision was then taken to cut the glitzy party…
Two Liverpool players are on Atletico Madrid’s wanted list, while the Uruguayan has been told he’s unlikely to be at Anfield next season. Much was expected when Liverpool committed to a club-record package worth £85m (add-ons included) to sign Nunez from Benfica in 2022. While the pacy frontman has shown flashes of brilliance, his stint in England has largely been characterised by wasteful finishing, poor interplay and struggles to stay onside. New manager Arne Slot wasted no time installing Diogo Jota as his preferred striker earlier this season. Jota’s rib injury offered Nunez a chance to prove his manager wrong,…
The return of the best in the world is a beautiful thing. Alisson Becker made his triumphant return to the Liverpool starting lineup this week, and it was a masterclass in goalkeeping that proved why he’s not just Liverpool’s No. 1 but without doubt the best in the world for all reds. Any whispers about Caoimhín Kelleher staking a long-term claim for the position were definitively silenced as Alisson reminded everyone of his brilliance. A Perfect Display of World-Class Goalkeeping After being out of action since October 5th, many might have expected a cautious return from Alisson. Instead, he delivered…
PGMOL has provided an explanation for why Liverpool did not receive a penalty in the last moments of their Premier League match against Manchester City. The Reds could have won crucial three points in the title race and taken a lead against Pep Guardiola’s Man City. As it was, at Anfield, the points were shared. After John Stones’ opener, Alexis Mac Allister’s penalty kick in the second half tied the score, and the home team had plenty of opportunities to score more as they controlled the second half. The Reds believed that in the last minute of stoppage time, they…
Liverpool make their return to Premier League football on Saturday after last week’s Merseyside Derby was postponed due to inclement weather. This week, Fulham are on the agenda as the Cottagers make the trip to Anfield. The Reds are once again coming off a Champions League win in the midweek as they fought by a scrappy Girona side. Alisson made his return to the lineup and made some stellar saves in route to recording a clean sheet and reminding the world of his abilities. Darwin Nunez struggled to score but did many other things well so it will be interesting…
It is quite remarkable that Liverpool has enjoyed such a brilliant run of form against the backdrop of persistent injury problems in the opening months of the season. Harvey Elliott, who played 53 times last term, has barely featured under Arne Slot after suffering a fractured foot in September; new signing Federico Chiesa has played just three times; Alisson has missed more games than he’s played in; and Diogo Jota has been out for the best part of two months with a chest injury. Liverpool was hit with two more blows during the win over Real Madrid earlier this month…
