Paul Scholes has backed Liverpool to be involved in this season’s Premier League title race, admitting he can only see one weakness in the Reds’ squad. Arne Slot’s side has made an encouraging start to the season, winning four of their five league games so far, with their only defeat coming against Nottingham Forest. Having beaten Bournemouth 3-0 on Saturday, they find themselves sandwiched between Manchester City and Arsenal in the table, with those two sides having drawn at the Etihad a day later. Liverpool is yet to face either of the two sides expected to be the main challengers…
Liverpool head into their League Cup third-round tie against West Ham in great form, having conceded just twice in their six outings this season. The Hammers come to Anfield having beaten Bournemouth 1-0 in the second round, thanks to a fortuitous late goal from Jarrod Bowen.And, with just four points from their opening five Premier League matches, Liverpool are firm favourites, especially given they have won their last eight home games against West Ham. Liverpool won their first League Cup in 1981, beating West Ham in a final replay at Villa Park after they had drawn 1-1 at Wembley, with…
Liverpool’s goalkeeper situation has been a hot topic so far in this early season. The signing of Georgia’s Euro 2024 hero Giorgi Mamardashvili – delayed until the start of next season – has raised questions about both the long term futures of no.1 Alisson Becker and backup Caoimhin Kelleher. Only recently was Kelleher complaining to the Irish press around his circumstances, with Liverpool rejecting an offer from Nottingham Forest in the recent transfer window to retain the Irish shot-stopper’s services.And now Spanish outlet Fichajes are reporting that Barcelona manager Hansi Flick is eyeing Alisson as a long-term replacement for the…
Not only do they have a new manager, but their three biggest stars may all leave the club in the summer and they’re unsure of the depth pieces they have at centre-back, full-back and all over midfield. With Ryan Gravenberch making an unexpectedly excellent start to the season, Alexis Mac Allister seemingly returning to his old form and questions surrounding Dominik Szoboszlai’s consistency, the future of the middle of Liverpool’s pack is still up in the air. A report by CaughtOffside that Liverpool are eyeing up a raid for a trio of stars from former Red Xabi Alonso’s Bayer Leverkusen…
Federico Chiesa’s full debut has been anticipated for nearly a month now. Liverpool signed the Italian attacker on August 29 and since then fans have been clamouring to get a proper look at their newest star. Rotations are expected with a League Cup tie against West Ham tomorrow and Liverpool in the middle of a seven-games-in-three-weeks spell. In his pre-match press conference, new Reds boss Arne Slot gave Koppites a little bit of hope. “I don’t think he’s able to play 90 minutes.” Slot decreed, not wishing to hide anything or raise expectations ahead of the visit by the Hammers.…
The LA Lakers’ talisman has debuted a new look after as he gears up for the 2024/25 NBA season. LeBron James has been closely affiliated with Liverpool for a long time and became a minority shareholder in the club back in 2021. On the court, he continues to set new standards in the NBA and celebrated even more silverware this summer, winning an Olympic gold medal in Paris with the US Men’s national team. LeBron’s side beat the hosts led by NBA prodigy Victor Wembanyama in the final of the Olympics, which has seen the 39-year-old lift his third gold…
Although Jarell Quansah started the season as Van Dijk’s partner, he was substituted after just 45 minutes in Liverpool’s opener against Ipswich Town and hasn’t featured at all since. Arne Slot now clearly prefers Ibrahima Konate as his second centre half, and the Frenchman has repaid Slot’s faith by impressing on the pitch. One player who hasn’t had a look-in since Slot arrived at Anfield is Joe Gomez. The 15-capped Englishman hasn’t played a single minute under the Reds’ new head coach and was the subject of plenty of transfer interest over the summer. Now, dubious reports from Italy are…
Former Liverpool goalkeeper David James has explained why he is convinced Mo Salah intends to stay at Anfield beyond this season, while the player’s ideal replacement in a Reds shirt has been named were he to leave. The Egyptian star is widely regarded as the Reds’ most influential player, having started the season in brilliant form and having surged up to fifth on the club’s all-time top scorers list. However, his £350,000 a week deal at Liverpool is due to expire at the end of the current season, with the player recently sending supporters into something of a panic with…
One bad afternoon aside, Liverpool have been brilliant under Arne Slot this season. The Dutchman inherited a top-class squad from Jurgen Klopp, who had run out of energy after crafting an illustrious dynasty, but the Reds certainly weren’t infallible. Liverpool were pulled from the title race last season by a wretched run of Premier League form throughout April, with eventual champions in the Europa League, Atalanta, and FA Cup, Manchester United, defeating the Anfield side en route to gold. Klopp did end his tenure with a vicarious campaign in the Carabao Cup, but there is plenty for this Liverpool side…
Liverpool attacker Mohamed Salah has been linked with a move away from the Merseyside club ahead of next summer. Mohamed Salah is in the final year of his contract with Liverpool, and the two parties have not been able to secure an extension yet. Clubs from Saudi Arabia are keen on signing the 32-year-old attacker next summer and it remains to be seen how the situation develops. Liverpool recently picked up a 3-0 win over Manchester United in the Premier League, and the Egyptian international reflected on his future after the game. Salah revealed that he is in the final…
