Arguably the biggest moment of all came on Tuesday night, when Dominik Szoboszlai rescued a point for Hungary against Germany with a last-minute penalty. The point earned by Szoboszlai wasn’t enough to change his side’s positioning in the group and Hungary will now play in…

Though he was much-liked by former Reds boss Jurgen Klopp, first-team chances at Anfield were few and far between, making just 13 senior outings for the club in over a decade. But a…

The Reds’ sensational start has seen the emergence of Ryan Gravenberch in the midfield and a resurgence for Luis Diaz and Ibrahima Konate. Despite the great form of Gravenberch and Curtis Jones, as well as solid performances from Alexis Mac Allister and Dominik Szoboszlai, the Liverpool recruitment team are looking…
Liverpool legend John Aldridge has made it clear that Caoimhin Kelleher should now keep his place in Arne Slot’s first XI over Alisson Becker. Kelleher has been filling in for the injured Alisson in recent weeks, and he’s arguably been a surprise revelation for the Reds during what they will have expected to be a difficult period.

Aldridge has been…

Mikel Arteta and Arsenal return to action this weekend knowing that there is no more margin for error when it comes to the title race. The Gunners have been plagued by injury this term and headed into the international break some nine points behind the Premier League’s early pace-setters, Liverpool, at the summit after failing to beat Chelsea. And with lots riding on their meeting with Nottingham Forest – who sit one place below Arsenal in fifth as the league’s surprise package – the last thing Arteta needed was an injury to Leandro Trossard, who limped off in Belgium’s loss…
