The Reds are six points clear of the Gunners with a game in hand after beating Tottenham 6-3 at the weekend but, speaking after the match on his podcast, Neville said that Mikel Arteta’s team are likely to be their main rivals, rather than Chelsea or Manchester City: “They’re the clear favourites for the title. Man City’s drop-off has been spectacular, I’m not sure anyone really knows how it’s gone so badly wrong. Chelsea had a tough game today but they’re doing well and having a good season.” “Liverpool Are Still In The Race, If They Want Him” Journalist Claims…
Liverpool look to continue their fine run of form when they welcome Leicester City to Anfield on Boxing Day (8pm GMT). The Reds top the table by five points at Christmas and are in a position not many expected. They delivered a barnstorming 6-3 win at Tottenham Hotspur last time out and now face a Leicester side who are just 17th. Ruud van Nistelrooy recently took charge of the Foxes but they suffered a sobering 3-0 home loss to relegation rivals Wolves in their previous game. Still, head coach Arne Slot will demand that Liverpool’s standards to do not drop…
Coote found himself suspended in November following the emergence of footage where he is heard using derogatory language about Jurgen Klopp, whom he called a “German c***”. The situation escalated when another video surfaced, this one supposedly capturing him snorting a white substance, which was reportedly taken shortly after he served as VAR for France’s triumph over Portugal in the Euro 2024 quarter-finals. PGMOL confirmed his sacking in a statement: “Following the conclusion of a thorough investigation into David Coote’s conduct, his employment with PGMOL has been terminated today with immediate effect. “David Coote’s actions were found to be in…
Liverpool’s struggles to tie down Mohamed Salah to a new contract have sparked fears that the Reds may be on the verge of repeating the same mistake they made with Luis Suarez. Suarez, who joined Barcelona in 2014, was a key player for Liverpool during his three-and-a-half-year stint at Anfield. However, the Reds’ failure to offer him a new contract and improved wages led to his departure, leaving a significant void in the team. Fast-forward to the present, and Liverpool find themselves in a similar situation with Mohamed Salah. The Egyptian winger has been instrumental in the Reds’ success in…
Sinner was initially found to be of “no fault” by the International Tennis Integrity Agency (ITIA) after twice testing positive for clostebol in March 2024, successfully arguing contamination. The ITIA handed the Italian no suspension though this ruling has now been subject to an appeal from the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA). WADA has appealed the severity of the Australian and US Open champion’s sanction to the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS), and should their appeal be successful, Sinner faces a ban of up to two years. CAS is expected to announce its ruling in the new year. Sinner’s case…
World No 3 Carlos Alcaraz has confirmed that he will play the Qatar Open in Doha in February, a change in his schedule from recent years. The Spaniard will not play the clay court swing in South America in 2025 and has instead chosen to play on Doha, which gets elevated from an ATP 250 to an ATP 500 event next year. Alcaraz joins a stacked field in Doha, which already includes world No 1 Jannik Sinner, Novak Djokovic, Daniil Medvedev, Alex de Minaur and Grigor Dimitrov. The Spaniard will begin his season direct at the Australian Open, the only…
Alcaraz has been training with Matteo Berrettini ahead of another season, with the Italian having won the Davis Cup alongside Sinner. Meanwhile, Joao Fonseca has emulated Alcaraz and Sinner, with the 18-year-old becoming the third teenager after the duo to win the Next Gen ATP Finals. But he has a long way to go to catch Sinner in particular in terms of titles, with the Italian having won eight times in 2024. He took his career tally to 18 this season, where he won the Australian Open and US Open for his first Grand Slam titles. Mats Wilander makes ‘very…
A lot has been made this season of the amount of matches that soccer players at the biggest clubs are potentially having to play. The formats of the Premier League and the Carabao Cup have remained the same, while clubs will potentially actually face fewer matches in the FA Cup after replays were scrapped entirely from the first round onwards. However, the revamped Champions League format has seen the potential for an extra four fixtures to be added to a team’s schedule, while next summer will see the inaugural, expanded 32-team Club World Cup take place over a month in…
Mohamed Salah might be stealing the spotlight, but he should count his blessings for having a creative wildcard like Trent Alexander-Arnold as a team-mate. That’s the view of Alan Shearer, who heaped praise on the Liverpool defender’s exceptional passing during their thrilling 6-3 victory over Tottenham on Sunday. Although Alexander-Arnold officially registered just one assist during the match, he was pinging passes all over the pitch with incredible precision, prompting Shearer to describe him as a striker’s dream. “I watch him and think, how many goals will they score with [Alexander-Arnold] in the team,” the Newcastle legend said on The…
Mohamed Salah has again been Liverpool’s top star this season. The Egyptian King leads the way in the Reds’ goalscoring charts, just like he has done every season since joining from Roma in 2017. Salah has scored 229 goals in 373 matches overall for the Merseysiders, establishing himself as an all-time club legend. Not only is Salah Liverpool’s greatest goalscorer of the modern era, he has also swept the board for team and individual honours. Liverpool have won Champions League, Premier League and FIFA Club World Cup honours – among other trophies – during Salah’s tenure and he is showing…
