Arne Slot has enjoyed a near perfect start to life in Liverpool, and the transition from the Jurgen Klopp era has been pretty seamless. Just over a quarter of the way through the season the Reds sit five points clear of Manchester City at the top of the Premier League, and many people’s title favourites Arsenal sit nine points below Slot’s side. Liverpool are also the only team still able to boast a 100% record in the UEFA Champions League. There have been a number of standout performers in Slot’s tenure, but it is the team’s collective performance that has…

That strike was one of 97 for Everton from midfielder Sheedy – the 10 players who have netted more were all forwards – while one of his most memorable Merseyside…
Van Dijk is out of contract at Liverpool in the summer of 2025. No new deal is in place at the moment. The Netherlands international is one of the best defenders in the world, and even at the age of 33, he is going as strong as ever. Van Dijk’s performances have impressed Troy Deeney among other pundits, but the future of the former Celtic star is up in the air. Arne Slot’s side have already started looking at potential replacements for Van Dijk. One defender Liverpool are monitoring is Jorrel Hato. Another is Murillo. The former Premier League and…
The Dutch midfielder has taken to life under Arne Slot like a duck to water, and he’s earned due plaudits for his showings. Pundits have raved over Gravenberch this season, and according to a list published by ESPN, the midfielder is now one of Liverpool’s most important players. However, speaking on ESPN, Shaka Hislop disagreed with this ranking, claiming that there was a glaring omission from this list. Indeed, the pundit believes that Luis Diaz really should’ve been included on this list ahead of Gravenberch despite the Dutchman’s brilliant performances this season. Luis Diaz is more important than Ryan Gravenberch…
Ibrahima Konate has sent a message of support to Kylian Mbappe amid speculation over the Real Madrid star’s absence for France.

French boss Didier Deschamps failed to clear things up when he refused to disclose the reason for the forward’s omission. Deschamps though did confirm that Mbappe had wanted to be selected, creating more confusion as to why he was missing. In his absence, France were held to a goalless draw against Israel on…
The Reds are at the top of the Premier League table, five points ahead of defending champions and second-placed Manchester City. Liverpool are also at the top of the UEFA Champions League – League Stage table. A number of players are doing well, including midfielder Curtis Jones, who starred for England against Greece in the UEFA Nations League this week.

Republic of Ireland legend Shay Given has urged Caoimhin Kelleher to quit Liverpool – even if he has to force his departure from Anfield. Given, the 48-year-old from County Donegal who made 134 appearances for his country over the course of two decades, believes Kelleher has what it takes to become a world-class keeper. But he reckons the 25-year-old must first step out of the shadow of Brazilian star Alisson Becker at Liverpool. Kelleher is once again deputising for the Reds after Alisson suffered a hamstring injury – but Kop boss Arne Slot has confirmed that the Irishman will once…
The Houston Texans currently own a 6-4 record but they haven’t quite taken off and become the team that many expected them to be before the season began after having one of the best offseasons in recent memory. The Texans have now lost two straight games to the Detroit Lions and New York Jets but remain two games up on the Colts in the AFC South. Despite not playing to the level that is expected, the Texans are still right in the mix as a contender. However, things could go South if they don’t pull things together and that starts…
Last week the Houston Texans debuted their new ‘Battle Red’ uniforms and boy were they a sight to see. The candy paint red popped and the reinvigorated horns fit perfectly on the sides of the helmet.
