Sam Allardyce has been awestruck by Arne Slot since accepting ‘the biggest job in the country’ – replacing Jurgen Klopp at Liverpool. What’s more, the former Everton and England manager can’t understand why the Dutchman’s style of play would be the target for any sort of criticism. The Reds resume their early-season conquest with a trip to Southampton on Sunday. As they sit top of both the Premier League and Champions League tables, plus have made it to the Carabao Cup’s last eight, were their near-faultless record to continue beyond the November international break, there would be justified reason to…
Liverpool’s injury list is a mixed bag, with some players nearing return and others facing uncertain timelines.

Diogo Jota Jota is expected to return after the international break, which would put his potential…
Taking on Pep Guardiola is the ultimate test for any manager, and Arne Slot now knows that he will be up against the legendary Catalan coach until at least 2027 — provided neither man is fired before then There had been speculation that Guardiola might walk away from City at the end of his previous contract, which was up at the end of this season, amid links with the England job. For one reason or another, that did not materialise, and Thomas Tuchel was ultimately entrusted with the responsibility of ending the Three Lions’ 60-year wait for major tournament glory.…
James Pearce has been sharing updates on Liverpool’s transfer targets, and one player who’s been making waves is Mo Kudus, valued at €85 million. Kudus has been impressive for West Ham, scoring seven goals and registering seven assists in the Premier League since his move from Ajax.¹ It’s no surprise that Liverpool is interested in signing him, especially considering Mohamed Salah’s potential departure. Salah has been linked to a move to the Middle East, and Liverpool sees Kudus as a potential replacement. However, it’s worth noting that Kudus’ price tag is steep, and some question whether he’s worth the investment.…
Arne Slot has managed a near-perfect start to his Liverpool career, and the Reds’ start to the season has been massively impressive. Liverpool currently sit five points clear of Manchester City at the top of the Premier League and are already nine points clear of supposed title rivals Arsenal. Slot’s side have also won all of their UEFA Champions League matches and are through to the quarter final of the Carabao Cup. Things have gone about as well as they could have for Slot barring a disappointing 1-0 loss to Nottingham Forest, the Reds’ only defeat of the campaign so…
Ian Wright called Gary Neville “crazy” for predicting a 1-1 scoreline for the Premier League game between Liverpool and Southampton. Wright did not hold back when he criticized Neville’s prediction, further highlighting the unprofessional bias of the Manchester United legend. The Reds have enjoyed exceptional form, winning 15 out of 17 matches in all competitions while conceding 10 goals. Their stellar performances and consistency have placed them at the top of both the Premier League and Champions League tables. Additionally, they have qualified for the Carabao Cup quarter-finals to showcase their dominance across all competitions despite the fixture congestion. Liverpool…
PGMOL (the body responsible for refereeing games in England) say they are taking claims against the 42-year-old, who was alleged to have called former Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp a ‘German ****’ and the Anfield club ‘s***’, ‘very seriously’. The refs’ body is also looking into a video of a man alleged to be Coote snorting a white powder in a hotel room during last summer’s Euros, at which he officiated. A PGMOL spokesperson said: ‘We are following an internal process and taking the allegations into David Coote’s conduct very seriously as part of our ongoing full and thorough investigation. Whilst…
Former Manchester United assistant manager Rene Meulensteen says he is not shocked in the slightest at Liverpool performing so well under the guidance of Arne Slot. In fact, he actually predicted the transition would be smooth during the summer. Up to this point in the season, Liverpool has won 15 out of its 17 matches with Slot at the helm. The Reds lead the Premier League by five points and are at the top of the Champions League table too ahead of a crucial week that includes fixtures against Real Madrid and Manchester City. “I predicted that Slot could hit…
While Liverpool might not have been missing as many players as Manchester City is at the moment — or have been without its key man, as Arsenal has been with Martin Odegaard absent — Arne Slot has not had things all his own way since he arrived in the summer. Sole summer signing Federico Chiesa has played a very limited role as he builds his way up to full match sharpness while others like Harvey Elliott have been sidelined through injury. And, of course, number one goalkeeper Alisson has been out since just before the last international break, missing some…
Gary Neville is insistent that Liverpool won’t win the Premier League title this season having initially predicted the Reds to drop out of the top four spots under Arne Slot. And ahead of the club game resuming following the international break, the former Manchester United man was in a bold mood again as he stunned Ian Wright with his prediction for this weekend. Liverpool returns to action with a trip to St Mary’s to play Southampton on Sunday. Neville and Paul Scholes, on the Stick To Football podcast brought to you by Sky Bet, initially went for a 1-1 draw…
