A recent study by CIES Football Observatory has shown that one Liverpool star has played the most minutes of any football player in Europe so far in 2024. It has been a busy year for Liverpool. The Reds reached the final of the Carabao Cup in 2024 while also making it to the quarter-finals of the UEFA Europa League and FA Cup this calendar year. Liverpool have played over 51 competitive games this calendar year, and they still have four games to play before the year runs out. The Red’s first game of the season came on New Year’s Day-4-2…
Liverpool has reached the semifinals of the Carabao Cup thanks to the win at St. Mary’s. Darwin Nunez and Harvey Elliott both scored inside 32 minutes to give the Reds a comfortable lead before Cameron Archer pulled a goal back for the hosts in the second half. Wednesday was Chiesa’s first appearance for the Reds since September. The 27-year-old Italian has struggled to make an impact since joining Liverpool from Juventus at the end of last summer’s transfer window, playing just three times before the Saints game. Chiesa was introduced just after the break on Wednesday but failed to score…
Arne Slot insists he wasn’t concerned about Jarell Quansah being sent off late on as a much-changed Liverpool held on to beat Southampton 2-1 and reach the last four of the Carabao Cup. With the Saints pushing for an equaliser in the closing stages, Mateus Fernandes went down under a challenge from last-man Quansah on the edge of the box only for referee Simon Hooper to wave away the claims from the home side as goals from Darwin Nunez and Harvey Elliott did the damage despite Cameron Archer’s second-half effort. Asked if he was nervous at the time, Slot claimed…
Liverpool’s star player Mohamed Salah might be absent for a significant part of next season, even if he signs a new deal at Anfield. The reason behind this is the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON), which is scheduled to take place from December 21, 2025, to January 18, 2026.¹ As Salah is an Egyptian national, he will likely be called up to represent his country in the AFCON. This would mean that he would miss several Liverpool games during the festive period, including crucial Premier League matches and potentially even the League Cup semi-finals. It’s worth noting that Sergio Aguero…
Liverpool look set to assess their options in the transfer market in terms of signing a new forward in 2025. As things stand, the Reds are going to have to find a replacement for Mohamed Salah, who’s contract is due to end next summer. In the meantime, there have also been claims that Liverpool could try and replace Darwin Nunez after it became clear that the Uruguayan may never make the grade at Anfield. But while the Reds are rumoured to be looking at players such as Omar Marmoush and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, perhaps they would do well to keep in…
Jamie Carragher has cast doubts over Chelsea’s Premier League title-winning credentials this season, despite acknowledging Enzo Maresca’s edge in what has emerged as a surprising bid to end a seven-year wait to be crowned champions again. The Blues are on an impressive streak with five consecutive wins and could leapfrog Liverpool to the top spot this weekend, capitalising on their unexpected momentum. With a game in hand, Arne Slot’s side will be looking to respond after Chelsea’s potential climb during their visit to Everton on Sunday. Tottenham await Liverpool just several hours later. Chelsea have managed to create a buffer…
A mum was left in tears after what Liverpool FC players led by captain Virgil van Dijk did for her son. Archie White, 12, is currently receiving treatment in Alder Hey. Archie was recently diagnosed with myeloid sarcoma – a rare form of cancer condition that affects less than one in a million children. He is from Wrexham and is a huge supporter of the town’s flourishing football team, bringing his shirts and scarf with him to the children’s hospital in West Derby. His mum Sarah Jane Kyffin said: “He’s been so brave. He’s kept his cheeky personality throughout and…
Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Rodrigo Bentancur will serve his full seven-game suspension an independent appeal board dismissed an appeal from the player. Bentancur was hit with the ban by the FA for a racist remark made about teammate Son Heung-Min and the South Korea national side during the summer. The 27-year-old has already missed key matches against Chelsea and Manchester City after missing five matches. He was also handed a £100,000 fine by the FA as the results of an investigation were confirmed last month. The denial of the appeal means he will be out of Thursday’s Carabao Cup clash at…
Liverpool are bidding to reach the Carabao Cup semi-final for the third time in four years when they make the trip down to Southampton on Wednesday. Arne Slot’s side have been impressive in this cup competition so far this season, having swept past West Ham and Brighton to get to this stage. Although Southampton are the lowest ranked team the Reds would have faced in the Carabao Cup, it does feel as though the trip to St Mary’s has a different feel to it. This is because Saints parted company with manager Russell Martin on Sunday following their dismal 5-0…
Liverpool will square off with Southampton at Saint Mary’s Stadium for the second time this season as both sides go head to head in the EFL Cup quarter-final. The Reds head to the south coast as overwhelming favourites, looking to extend their fantastic unbeaten streak to 20 games across all competitions. Arne Slot’s side eked out a narrow 3-2 win against Brighton & Hove Albion to reach the last eight, while Southampton saw off Championship side Stoke City by an identical scoreline. Liverpool have already gotten one over Southampton this season, coming from behind to claim a 3-2 win in…
