BBC Sport columnist Chris Sutton has backed Liverpool to cruise to a comfortable win over Fulham in their upcoming Premier League clash. The two sides are set to face each other at Anfield on Saturday, December 14. The Reds will aim to return to winning ways in the Premier League after they were held to a thrilling 3-3 draw against Newcastle United at St. James’ Park. They remain at the top of the table with 35 points from 14 games, four points above second-placed Chelsea with a game in hand. Meanwhile, Fulham defended brilliantly to hold Arsenal to a 1-1…
Liverpool are back in Premier League action today as the Reds host Fulham at Anfield for a 3pm kick-off. Arne Slot’s side will be looking to strengthen their position at the top of the table, where they currently sit four points clear of second-placed Chelsea. But the visit of Fulham won’t be a walkover, with Marco Silva’s men having held title challengers Arsenal to a draw at Craven Cottage last weekend. It means Liverpool will have to be at their best to overcome the Cottagers. One positive for boss Slot is the easing of the injury situation at the club.…
Paul Merson and Alan Shearer have both backed Liverpool to strengthen its position at the top of the Premier League with a win over Fulham. The Reds have had their lead in the title race cut down to four points over the last week or so following the 3-3 draw at Newcastle and the postponed Merseyside derby against Everton. Although Arsenal and Manchester City both missed the opportunity to make up more ground last weekend, Chelsea made no mistake, with Enzo Maresca’s side now Liverpool’s closest challenger as the end of 2024 approaches. Arne Slot’s team though still holds a…
Liverpool are top of the Premier League, top of the Champions League and yet Arne Slot is thinking about the improvements to come. There’s little concern that the Dutchman is resting on his laurels after a sensational start to life on Merseyside. Nor will his players be allowed to. Liverpool are four points clear in the Premier League and on their way to the last-16 of the European Cup. They’ve got a Carabao Cup quarter-final against Southampton next month, too. Mo Salah has been one of the driving forces this season. He’s scored 16 goals – 13 in the league…
Arne Slot has admitted he fully expects Darwin Nunez to explode into life in front of goal and fulfil his potential at Liverpool. The £85m signing has only scored three times so far this season, while his performances in recent clashes with Newcastle United and Girona both came under outside scrutiny. This prompted the Uruguayan to allude to criticism he has faced in some sections on social media following the Reds’ win over Girona. Aware of the criticism his striker has faced, Slot insisted Nunez will keep getting chances for Liverpool as long as he continues to work hard when…
Liverpool are back in Premier League action for the first time in 10 days as they take on Fulham this weekend. The Reds saw their lead at the top of the table cut to four points last time out as they had to sit and watch their title rivals following the Merseyside Derby’s cancellation. Fresh from seeing his team put in a slightly iffy display at Girona in midweek, Arne Slot will be hoping for better from Liverpool on Saturday. Here’s the XI we think the Liverpool head coach will put out to face the Cottagers at Anfield. Liverpool were…
The enigma that is Darwin Nunez continues to baffle and frustrate Liverpool fans – only now, patience looks to be wearing thin among many supporters. The Uruguayan has come in for more criticism following his latest showing against Girona in the Champions League. Seeing the 25-year-old spurn chances is nothing new, but the sheer lack of goals this season means many fans are at the end of their tether with him. Just three goals in 19 appearances this season is certainly not a great return for a No.9 that could end up costing Liverpool $109m (£85m/€100m) when all add-ons are…
Liverpool refrained from spending the big bucks in the summer, but that is unlikely to be the case in the upcoming transfer windows. The Reds have a strong with the right mix of youth and experience, but that doesn’t mean there’s no scope for improvement. Arne Slot now has an informed opinion on all of his players and it remains to be seen how he proceeds from now. Liverpool’s forward line is widely regarded as their strongest area on the pitch as they currently have six options for three positions, but a handful of attack-minded players have been linked with…
Liverpool’s Anfield Stadium is steeped in history and tradition, but one quirk has left many fans scratching their heads: the ban on away teams wearing white socks. But what’s behind this unusual rule? The origins of the ban date back to the 1980s, when Liverpool was dominating European football. According to reports, the club’s management decided to implement the ban as a way to maintain a psychological edge over their opponents. The idea was that by forcing away teams to change their socks, Liverpool could disrupt their opponents’ routine and gain a mental advantage. It may seem like a small…
Liverpool’s staff Christmas Party – at the city’s cathedral – was shut down early after suspected drug paraphernalia was found in the toilets. Officials at the venue were moved to carry out searches after a medical emergency took place during the glitzy Thursday night bash, which was attended by around 500 club workers. The emergency triggered concerns that drugs were being taken and subsequent checks of the toilets at the iconic building unearthed a number of empty snag bags, which are often used to contain illegal substances. As a result, the decision was then taken to cut the glitzy party…
