Liverpool watched Arsenal fall 2-0 to Bournemouth on Saturday evening. The result is a stat that makes Arne Slot’s Reds look simply magnificent. Liverpool have now got a chance to build a serious lead over Arsenal in the Premier League. The Gunners lost 2-0 at Bournemouth and host the Reds next weekend. The defender was sent off for a last-man foul and his absence provided the Cherries with a glorious opportunity. They took it for their second-ever win over Arsenal. The red card also cerated a truly ridiculous statistic, as pointed out by Duncan Alexander. Arsenal now have more red…
The Premier League has cleared up the situation surrounding William Saliba’s red card in Arsenal’s encounter with Bournemouth, explaining the reason behind the VAR intervention. Initially booked with a caution by referee Rob Jones for his tackle on Evanilson, Saliba’s punishment was elevated to an expulsion post a VAR review and a second look at the pitchside monitor. The league provided insight through their match center’s social media platform, stating: “The referee gave Saliba a yellow card for a challenge on Evanilson. The VAR deemed that Saliba denied an obvious goal-scoring opportunity and recommended an on-field review. The referee then…
While Arne Slot is yet to give any of Liverpool’s youngsters much of an opportunity in the first-team so far this season, a handful have started to be introduced to training sessions with the roster at the AXA training center – with a new face being brought back this week. The likes of Tyler Morton, Trey Nyoni, Harvey Davies, James Norris, and Isaac Mabaya have all been involved in first-team training periodically through Slot’s reign so far, with striker Oakley Cannonier joining this week. Seen as one of Liverpool’s most exciting young attackers, Cannonier has been a regular goalscorer for…
Chris Sutton and Mark Lawrenson believe Liverpool will beat Chelsea in the top-of-the-table Premier League clash at Anfield this weekend. The Reds head into Sunday’s game four points ahead of the Londoners and with seven wins from their first eight league games under Arne Slot. Since succeeding Jurgen Klopp at the end of last season, September’s defeat to Nottingham Forest remains the only blot on the Dutchman’s copybook across all competitions. With that in mind, Sutton and Lawrenson are backing the Reds to continue their strong start to the season and keep their place at the top of the Premier…
Alan Shearer has just previewed tomorrow’s showdown between Liverpool and Chelsea at Anfield. Chelsea travel to Merseyside on Sunday afternoon to play rivals Liverpool in the Premier League. Reece James is finally available for the first time this season, which means the entire Blues squad is fit and free from injury. However, defensive pair Wesley Fofana and Marc Cucurella are both unavailable versus Liverpool due to suspension. Enzo Maresca’s side currently sit fourth in the division table going into the weekend after a positive start to the campaign, but they’re now taking on the early league leaders. Alan Shearer predicts…
Liverpool will make their final league trip to Goodison Park to take on Everton on a Saturday lunchtime after the latest raft of live televised matches was confirmed. Broadcasters have taken their pick of the Premier League games in December and early January and seven fixtures involving the Reds will be affected. The most prominent is the visit to neighbours Everton for what is the last league Merseyside derby at Goodison before the Blues’ expected move to their new stadium at Bramley-Moore Dock next season. The game has been brought forward to 12.30pm on Saturday, December 7 and will be…
Christmas – it’s the most wonderful time of the year. That is, of course, unless you’re a Premier League manager gearing up to face your most grueling run of the campaign, contesting a seemingly endless roster of top-flight fixtures over the course of the festive season. The congested nature of English football’s winter schedule, while polarising, is nothing new. The tradition of playing games on Boxing Day has been a staple of this country’s footballing DNA since the inception of Football League in 1888. And, while the likes of Jurgen Klopp and Pep Guardiola have previously lamented the lack of…
Alongside Jurgen Klopp, there is no doubt that this has been the era of Pep Guardiola in the Premier League. Liverpool pushed Manchester City and Manchester City pushed Liverpool— in more recent times, Arsenal has joined the race too. The landscape, though, is changing. Klopp has gone and is now set to embark on a non-coaching career with the Red Bull group, and while Arne Slot has settled in as smoothly as anyone — himself included — could have hoped, things are different. At Manchester City, regardless of what the outcome is in its court case with the Premier League…
The international break hadn’t even started in earnest when Arne Slot received the injury news he had been dreading. Alisson Becker’s hamstring tear suffered at Crystal Palace last Saturday means the Liverpool goalkeeper will be sidelined for at least the next six weeks. Caomhin Kelleher, who has already deputised for Alisson twice this season and played 26 times last term, will again be expected to step in between the sticks in the Brazilian’s absence. Kelleher, though, was missing at Selhurst Park through illness, which meant third-choice shot-stopper Vitezslav Jaros stepped off the bench for his senior Liverpool debut in the…
Bayern Munich winger Leroy Sane reportedly wants to stay at the German giants despite transfer links with Liverpool. The Reds are being mooted with a host of wide players as contract uncertainty surrounds the future of Mohamed Salah. The Mirror reported last October that Liverpool ‘made’ the former Manchester City attacker their number one target to replace the Egyptian. It was claimed that the club were ready to ‘smash’ their £80million world-record, an accolade broken by Darwin Nunez’s arrival from Benfica. Salah will be able to speak to overseas clubs over a pre-contract agreement from January ahead of the expiry…
