Liverpool head into 2025 in a healthy position under Arne Slot, with Premier League and UEFA Champions League title challenges still going strong. The Dutch coach has succeeded Jurgen Klopp perfectly at Anfield, with Slot naturally evolving this Liverpool squad into something quite special with the former Feyenoord manager set to bring in his own players in the January transfer window. One of the main reasons behind Slot’s success has come down to how the 44-year-old coach has managed to take existing Liverpool players and push them to the next level, with some names enjoying new leases on life under…
Liverpool head coach Arne Slot has batted away talk of an impending Premier League title triumph – as his comments mirrored remarks from predecessor Jurgen Klopp during his tenure at Anfield. The Reds currently sit top of both the domestic and continental standings after a swashbuckling start to the campaign which has saw them pick up 22 wins from 26 outings so far. Just short of halfway through the domestic league season, the Merseysiders boast a seven point advantage and a game in hand over nearest challengers Chelsea. Having topped the table on Christmas Day, history would suggest that the…
Liverpool went seven points clear at the top of the Premier League thanks to a 3-1 win over Leicester City on Boxing Day. After Jordan Ayew had given the visitors an early lead, the Reds responded with goals from Cody Gakpo, Curtis Jones and Mohamed Salah as Arne Slot’s leaders took full advantage of Chelsea’s defeat at home to Fulham. Next up for Liverpool is a visit to West Ham United to close out 2024. Whatever happens in London on Sunday evening, the Reds will end the calendar year as the team in top spot ahead of a potentially thrilling…
Arne Slot only ever looks at what is front of him, and here that is Liverpool’s upcoming Premier League clash with Leicester City. Three points on Boxing Day will go a long way towards his team’s title charge. Even if Liverpool’s opponent is one in the lower area of the Premier League table, the Reds will do well to remember they have a history of causing upsets. In 2021/22 it was Ademola Lookman who struck around this time of year and they also won at the King Power Stadium the season before that as well. Adding to that, Slot has…
Liverpool made it 22 games unbeaten in all competitions with a 3-1 home win over Leicester City on Boxing Day to go seven points clear at the top of the Premier League on Thursday night. After an early goal from Jordan Ayew, the Reds responded through Cody Gakpo before second-half strikes from Curtis Jones and Mohamed Salah settled it. It means Arne Slot’s side are comfortably clear at the summit with a game in hand against Everton still to be played. The ECHO was, of course, at Anfield to provide our usual mix of player ratings, big-match verdict and analysis…
Gakpo in Ruud health Ruud van Nistelrooy cannot say he hadn’t known what to expect. The Leicester City boss was in charge of PSV Eindhoven when Liverpool came knocking for their sought-after forward Cody Gakpo two years ago. Indeed, the departure of the Holland international contributed to Van Nistelrooy’s decision to walk away at the end of the season while citing a lack of support. And the loss for the Dutch side remains very much Liverpool’s gain, Gakpo a key cog in an attacking unit that continues to help Arne Slot’s challenge for honour on four fronts. While Liverpool weren’t…
A convincing Boxing Day victory over Leicester City to strengthen what was already a healthy Premier League advantage at the top? Liverpool are chasing this title down like it’s 2019 all over again. And on a day when every other result that was worth checking for went his way, Arne Slot could not have asked for a more perfect Christmas gift for his first one on Merseyside. Now seven points clear of second-place Chelsea with that game in hand at Everton to come next year, Enzo Maresca’s consistent claims that his team aren’t in a race for the championship might…
Liverpool extend their lead at the top of the Premier League table when they came from behind to beat Leicester City at Anfield.

Started so slowly and, couple of wicked crosses aside, unable to…

Things are going for Liverpool on the pitch as they continue to rack up wins under Arne Slot. The Reds lead the way in the Premier League and the UEFA Champions League and have won 22 of their 27 games under the Dutchman, representing one of the best-ever starts to a new season.
