Tottenham Hotspur Women are looking to build on their midweek success over Championship leaders Charlton Athletic in the FA League Cup. They host Liverpool at Brisbane Road on Sunday in their next WSL fixture. After a dramatic draw away at Aston Villa last week, there are questions about the team’s defensive solidity, despite the side being ahead for most of the match. Meanwhile up front, the team struggled to create many chances against the Birmingham outfit. Tottenham only managed four shots against Villa on Sunday. When asked whether limited attacking performances against tougher opposition worried him, Spurs manager Robert Vilahamn…
The UEFA coefficient points system is still in its early stages but Premier League clubs have been handed a boost after a strong start to the Champions League campaign. Last season saw Italy and Germany gain an additional Champions League spot for their clubs, thanks to the expanded format of Europe’s premier competition. Atalanta triumphed in the Europa League, while Fiorentina made it to the Conference League final. Borussia Dortmund and Bayer Leverkusen also reached the finals of the Champions League and Europa League respectively. But who will secure the extra spots this time? The two additional places are determined…
Mohamed Salah is one of the best attackers in the world, yet Liverpool have a big problem surrounding their star forward. The Egyptian international’s contract is due to expire at the end of this season, with Saudi Arabian clubs already preparing a contract for Salah that could see the 32-year-old winger leave the Premier League for the Middle East next year. With Alisson Becker praising how ‘perfect’ Salah was for Liverpool in last night’s win against Bologna, replacing the former AS Roma star could be an impossible task for the Reds given the forward’s world-class qualities. Yet Liverpool might now…
Liverpool could soon find themselves in a situation of having to pick a new captain and vice-captain for the second time in two years. Back in the summer of 2023, Liverpool knew they were losing second-in-command James Milner, and would likely have been ready to promote Virgil van Dijk to aid Jordan Henderson. But after Henderson unexpectedly pushed to leave Anfield for Saudi Arabia, Liverpool bumped Van Dijk up to the top job and went in search of a new vice. In reality, it was perhaps not a difficult decision for Jurgen Klopp to hand duties off to Trent Alexander-Arnold.…
Liverpool travel to Crystal Palace this weekend looking to keep up their excellent start to the season, and it’s live on talkSPORT. Arne Slot’s men have won all but one of their Premier League games so far this season. However, after the international break, the Reds face a daunting fixture list which includes Chelsea, Arsenal, Bayer Leverkusen and Real Madrid. So, they’ll want three points to carry the momentum on. Meanwhile, Palace have endured a shocking start to the campaign and pre-season hopes of a European challenge are evaporating. The Eagles are yet to win a game in the league…
Liverpool beat Bologna on Wednesday evening, and there were no prizes for guessing who scored the decisive goal on the night. Indeed, Mohamed Salah once again came up trumps in the Champions League, scoring the goal to make it 2-0 and seal Liverpool’s victory. Salah was fantastic on Wednesday evening, and speaking on the Official Liverpool Podcast after the game, Jason McAteer has been discussing Salah’s brilliance. McAteer says that he’s actually been surprised by what he’s heard about Salah recently. The pundit was recently told by his son that the Liverpool star wasn’t among the nominees for this year’s…
Liverpool forward Mohamed Salah insists the players are not putting any pressure on themselves despite a record-breaking start under new head coach Arne Slot. The Egypt international provided an assist and then scored the decisive late second goal in the 2-0 Champions League victory over Bologna which made it eight wins from nine matches. Slot is the first boss in the club’s history to start their reign with that level of success and it has not only allayed any initial concerns about how they would adapt during the transition period following Jurgen Klopp‘s departure but also led to a re-evaluation…
Liverpool have an opportunity to bring in new players in the January transfer window and it looks as though that may be the case, following a new claim. When Jurgen Klopp departed as Reds manager at the end of last season, many supporters hoped new head coach Arne Slot would be backed in the transfer market. Instead, a frustrating summer window took place at Anfield, with Federico Chiesa and Giorgi Mamardashvili the only additions. Real Sociedad midfielder Martin Zubimendi emerged as Liverpool’s top target in the No.6 role, but he ended up deciding to remain at his current club, acting…
Liverpool have started the season brilliantly under new head coach Arne Slot, currently sitting top of the Premier League. The Reds made it back-to-back wins to start their UEFA Champions League campaign with a 2-0 win over Bologna on Wednesday night and they also started their Carabao Cup defence with a 5-1 thrashing of West Ham. Slot has done all of this without splashing the cash in the transfer market. Federico Chiesa was the only senior summer arrival at Anfield and he was signed for a cut-price fee. The Italian also hasn’t featured that much for the Reds yet due…
Former Arsenal youth player Folarin Balogun recalled coming up against a Liverpool youngster during their Premier League academy days and rates him highly. Former Arsenal striker Folarin Balogun name-checked Curtis Jones as he discussed the best players he played with and against during his days as a youth-team player. Balogun and Jones were both born in 2001, which meant they came up against each other regularly while playing for the Arsenal and Liverpool youth teams respectively. While Jones remains a key part of Liverpool’s first-team squad at Anfield, Balogun left Arsenal permanently in 2023 to join AS Monaco, having impressed…
