There were nothing but positives for Liverpool on Wednesday as they put West Ham to the sword in the Carabao Cup. The Reds hit five past the Hammers in the quarter-finals of the same competition last season and were equally as ruthless this time around, too. With Arne Slot making nine changes from the team that beat Bournemouth at Anfield on Saturday, it was a show of how much depth is in the Liverpool squad right now. Cody Gakpo made another claim as to why he should be starting and is showing signs of building a budding partnership with Kostas…
Arne Slot explains the plan for keeping Diogo Jota fit this season after the Liverpool striker’s brace in the 5-1 win over West Ham United in the Carabao Cup. Arne Slot says Liverpool will need luck to keep Diogo Jota fully fit this season but revealed his staff have devised a plan to maintain the striker’s long-term availability after his double in Wednesday’s 5-1 win over West Ham United in the Carabao Cup. The Portugal international struck either side of half time to cancel out Jarell Quansah’s own goal before Mohamed Salah and Cody Gakpo’s brace sealed a passage to…
Manchester United legend Paul Scholes believes Liverpool will be genuine title contenders if they keep both captain Virgil van Dijk and Ibrahima Konate fit. Many pundits are still favouring either Manchester City or Arsenal for top spot but, speaking on The Overlap, Scholes said Arne Slot’s side could also be challengers, injury permitting: “I think Liverpool might have something to say about the title race this year. When I look at their forward players, I think they have five or six good players. Seeing Liverpool first-hand, what a squad of players, I see very little weaknesses. The only one we…
Arne Slot had a wry message for reporters after Liverpool’s 5-1 win over West Ham in the Carabao Cup on Wednesday night. The Dutchman has had a very promising start to life as the Reds’ head coach, winning six of his first seven games in all competitions (including at Old Trafford and San Siro), with 18 goals scored and just three conceded. In his post-match press conference after last night’s clash, the 46-year-old referred back to a summer transfer window where there was plenty of discourse about LFC not doing enough business, having only made one addition to their first-team…
Fresh from a dominant start to their EFL Cup defence, Liverpool return to Premier League action on Saturday evening, when they make the journey to Molineux to face Wolverhampton Wanderers. After smashing West Ham United 5-1 in the 2023-24 EFL Cup, the Reds incredibly stormed to an identical win over the Irons on Wednesday evening to set up a fourth-round clash with Brighton & Hove Albion. The thumping of West Ham came a few days on from a dominant 3-0 Premier League success over Bournemouth, one which has Arne Slot’s men second in the table, just a point behind leaders…
Liverpool’s dominant win 5-1 win over West Ham in the League Cup on Wednesday evening will create a pending schedule crunch following the next international break. The fourth-round draw of the League Cup cooked up a road matchup against Brighton scheduled for either Oct. 29 or Oct. 30. This means the Reds will the Seagulls in consecutive matches — Liverpool already have a home Premier League matchup against Brighton on Nov. 2.

Liverpool breezed past West Ham in the League Cup last night with a 5-1 win at Anfield, with Curtis Jones back in the starting XI. The 23-year-old midfielder made his first start of the season having featured for the Reds in the last two Premier League games from the bench, with Jones having a difficult start under new manager Arne Slot due to injury. Despite the limited playing time this season, Jones impressed at Anfield last night as the England youth international picked up an assist as Liverpool steamrolled past a ten-man West Ham side with complete ease on Merseyside.…
Jordan Henderson was an excellent servant to Liverpool, and a brilliant midfielder, but his greatest characteristic was undoubtedly the way he led the team. Henderson had the unenviable task of following in Steven Gerrard’s footsteps, taking the armband at Anfield following the great midfielder’s departure in 2015. The England midfielder quickly grew into the role, though, and won all there is to win with the Reds, including the Champions League in 2019 and the club’s first league title in 30 years in 2020. Henderson is currently playing for Eredivisie side Ajax, having moved to Amsterdam in January, and he was…
Liverpool continued their good form of late with a thumping win over West Ham at Anfield on Wednesday. The Reds headed into the game after back-to-back wins banished the ghosts of the recent surprise loss to Nottingham Forest.

At the weekend, it was Darwin Nunez who stole the show alongside Luis Diaz as the South America pair bagged Liverpool’s three goals between them. That was Nunez’s first start of the season and after he scored such a lovely…
Diogo Jota was benched against Bournemouth at the weekend after drawing blanks in Liverpool’s four previous games, and the rest clearly did him the world of good as he netted twice to send the Reds into the next round of the EFL Cup. Jota was instrumental in Liverpool’s first goal of the game, starting the move inside the Reds’ half, producing a brilliant pass to Cody Gakpo before galloping up the pitch to head home from Chiesa’s volley. The Portuguese then gave Liverpool the lead for the first time in the second half as he opened his body up and…
