Arne Slot is looking forward to renewing his managerial rivalry with Ruud van Nistelrooy – and is relieved that this time Cody Gakpo is his player rather than opponent. The Liverpool head coach’s Feyenoord side won the Eredivisie title in 2022/23 when the Manchester United legend was in charge of title-rivals PSV Eindhoven. Finishing seven points clear of PSV, Feyenoord still lost 4-3 at the Phillips Stadion before being held to a 2-2 draw at De Kuip. Meanwhile, Gakpo scored once and claimed three assists in the former before joining the Reds mid-season. Van Nistelrooy joined Leicester City last month.…

Liverpool’s impressive season goes on with a 6-3 win over Tottenham on Sunday. The result moved the Reds four points clear of Chelsea, who could only draw 0-0 with Everton at Goodison Park. The Reds will now be top of the Premier League table on Christmas day and have a chance to cement their position with a home match against Leicester City on Boxing day. So what next for Liverpool after such an impressive victory over Tottenham? Our LFC jury have their say… Although Liverpool conceded three against Tottenham on Sunday, it is hard to be anything other than impressed…

Liverpool will again be without Ibrahima Konate and Conor Bradley when they host Leicester City on Boxing Day. The defensive pair have missed the Reds’ last six matches after suffering injuries against Real Madrid last month. Arne Slot has seen his side’s injury list ease up in recent weeks, with Harvey Elliott, Alisson Becker, Diogo Jota and Kostas Tsimikas all returning in recent weeks. Federico Chiesa also made his first appearance since September in last week’s League Cup victory over Southampton. However, the Italian sat out Liverpool’s victory over Tottenham Hotspur, having not been pictured in training on Friday. Following…

Micahel Owen has admitted that former Liverpool players are baffled at fans singing names of players who did not represent the club a lot of the pitch. He believes that the catchy names help them get the chants and that is something they discuss among themselves at times. Owen warned Trent Alexander-Arnold that he was risking the fans going after him if he opts to leave. He believes that the fans forget everything players did for the club as soon as they opt to leave when there is a lot left to offer. He said: “I get it, I’m not…

In 2016, Lionel Messi picked who he thinks is the best among Gerrard Liverpool legend Steven Gerrard over Paul Scholes and Frank Lampard in the age-long debate of who was the better English midfielder. The former Reds captain was one of the most revered midfielders of his generation, and alongside the other two stars, formed the midfield of the Three Lions’ golden generation. Gerrard registered 114 caps for the England national team, scoring 21 goals. He could not help the Three Lions win their first international trophy since the 1966 World Cup, but he led Liverpool to the UEFA Champions…

Michael Owen has cautioned Trent Alexander-Arnold that he could lose control of his career if he decides to leave Liverpool for Real Madrid. The right-back’s contract expires at the end of the season, making him eligible to speak with Carlo Ancelotti’s side from January 1. If he makes the move, the 26-year-old would follow in the footsteps of former Liverpool forward Owen who, in the summer of 2004, completed a high-profile £8 million transfer to Real Madrid after deciding not to extend his Anfield contract. However, while his pursuit of more prestige intensified after the move, Owen quickly learned that…

Alexander-Arnold, whose contract is up at season’s end, is rapidly approaching a career crossroads. A free transfer is on the cards, and Real Madrid, who Owen joined in an £8million move in 2004 after 158 goals in 297 games for the Reds, is the likely destination in that scenario. Despite not regretting his departure from Anfield, Owen advised Alexander-Arnold to ponder the repercussions for his legacy. He told the Liverpool Echo: “I can assure you I was as loyal and committed and everything else as the likes of Trent and [Jamie] Carragher and all these people. “But you lose a…

Liverpool look to give supporters more festive cheer when they welcome Leicester City to Anfield (8pm GMT). The Reds sat at the summit of the Premier League table at Christmas – four points clear of Chelsea. It is a position that few expected at the start of the season when Arne Slot replaced Jurgen Klopp in the hot seat. But the expectations have now shifted and Liverpool are the favourites to be crowned champions. They prepare to face a Leicester side who have struggling since returning to the top flight and are 17th. Slot could look to make changes from…

Liverpool supporters would not have expected to have fallen in love with Arne Slot as quickly as they have done after Jurgen Klopp’s farewell in the summer. It speaks volumes of the outstanding job Arne Slot has done at Anfield that Klopp’s absence is not being felt whatsoever. Liverpool have a chance to further maintain their stranglehold at the top of the Premier League table by beating Ruud van Nistelrooy’s Leicester City side. Ibrahima Konate and Conor Bradley will not face Leicester, as confirmed by Slot due to nursing injuries even now. Team MP W D L GD Pts 1…

Once again, Liverpool FC’s social media admins have played an absolute blinder on Christmas Day! Twelve months ago, the club’s official online channels almost broke the Internet with adorable footage of Irish Reds supporter Dáire Gorman – who was born with a rare condition called Crommelin syndrome – meeting Jurgen Klopp and LFC players at Anfield. This year, the Merseyside club also marked 25 December with an uplifting video which tugs at the heartstrings and drew a combined seven million views on X and YouTube within 24 hours of being published.
