Liverpool end a hectic run of 10 games in 36 days today when they take on West Ham United in their final fixture of 2024. Remarkably, they head to the London Stadium with a close to fully fit squad. While West Ham have played two fewer matches in the same space of time, their selection problems are far greater. But like Liverpool, they will go into the contest, which gets under way at 5.15pm, in good form. The Hammers have won two and drawn two of their last four Premier League outings to pull nine points clear of the relegation…
Arne Slot will have some members of his Liverpool squad unavailable to face West Ham in the Premier League this evening. The Reds return to top-flight action with a trip to the London Stadium in their final match of the calendar year. Liverpool have a six-point lead over second-placed Chelsea in the Premier League table going into the clash against the Hammers. The Reds have won their last two top-flight fixtures against Tottenham Hotspur and Leicester City and will be looking to end 2024 with another victory. Slot has been forced to deal with several injury concerns throughout his first…
Liverpool is interested in signing Aurelien Tchouameni next month, as speculation continues around the Frenchman’s future at Real Madrid. Central midfielder Tchouameni has been a regular fixture in Carlo Ancelotti’s Madrid team since moving to Spain in 2022, but it has been reported in various Spanish outlets throughout this season that some important figures at the Bernabeu have lost faith in him. Tchouameni clearly retains the trust of Ancelotti, considering he has made over 100 appearances for Madrid under the Italian manager, but that may not be enough to keep him at the club. Spanish outlet Fichajes says that Tchouameni…
West Ham United might not be having the best season under Julen Lopetegui but Liverpool will have to play well to get the three points at the London Stadium this weekend. Last season, the game ended in a 2-2 draw, and in the likes of Mohammed Kudus, Jarrod Bowen and Lucas Paqueta, West Ham has players who can cause a problem on the counter-attack with plenty of quality in the final third. Liverpool will have to be at it to control things and give the home crowd little encouragement. Arne Slot will only be without two players through injury for…
Liverpool is reportedly targeting Jeremie Frimpong and Milos Kerkez as long-term replacements for Reds stalwarts Trent Alexander-Arnold and Andy Robertson. Alexander-Arnold could leave Anfield next summer, with Real Madrid interested in signing him on a free transfer, while Robertson turned 30 this year and the Reds are understandably putting a plan in place for the future. Caught Offside says Liverpool is eyeing up both Frimpong and Kerkez in the coming months, and that talks have already taken place over a move for Frimpong. Frimpong has emerged as one of the most exciting right-sided players in the world in recent times,…
In a shocking interview, Liverpool superstar Trent Alexander-Arnold has revealed that he’s made a promise to Real Madrid’s president, Florentino Pérez, and can’t go back on his word! “I’ve given my word to the president and the club, and I intend to keep it,” Alexander-Arnold said. “I know it’s not going to be easy, but I feel like it’s the right decision for me and my career.” When asked if he’s had second thoughts about leaving Liverpool, Alexander-Arnold replied, “Of course, it’s natural to have doubts, but I’ve made my decision and I’m committed to it. I’m excited for the…
Liverpool’s transfer activity was notably subdued last summer, with its headline acquisition being goalkeeper Giorgi Mamardashvili, who stayed on loan at Valencia. Federico Chiesa did make the switch from Juventus, but his time has been marred by ongoing injury woes. Arne Slot had his eyes on Martin Zubimendi from Real Sociedad, yet the Spanish midfielder declined the move at the very last moment. However, Slot has adeptly transformed Ryan Gravenberch into a formidable No. 6, seemingly moving past the Zubimendi option. The Anfield future of Mohamed Salah, Virgil van Dijk, and Trent Alexander-Arnold hangs in the balance, with replacements not…

He may not have finished the year as world number one, but there aren’t many players more talented on the ATP Tour than the 21-year-old Spaniard. Alcaraz won the French Open for the first time in his career, earlier this year, before defending his Wimbledon title against Novak Djokovic. The Spaniard also came close to another huge title, as Alcaraz lost the Olympic final to Djokovic in Paris. It was a great year for Alcaraz, who achieved such success without playing a full schedule, something that two former ATP stars have now given their thoughts on. Steve Johnson thinks Carlos…
