As the Premier League season progresses, the race for the Golden Boot is already heating up, with Manchester City’s Erling Haaland and Liverpool’s Mohamed Salah emerging as the two main contenders. However, while Salah has started strong, it appears Haaland may already be pulling away in the goalscoring charts. Haaland has been in sensational form, netting seven goals in just three league games, including back-to-back hat-tricks against Ipswich Town and West Ham. In contrast, Salah has scored three goals in three matches, which, while impressive, leaves him trailing behind the prolific Norwegian striker. With such a commanding early lead, pundits…
Paris Saint-Germain have reportedly cooled their interest in Bayern Munich midfielder Joshua Kimmich, potentially giving Liverpool and other clubs a significant advantage in the race to sign the Germany international. According to Caught Offside, PSG had previously monitored Kimmich due to his contract status, but recent developments suggest the French giants are satisfied with their current midfield options following the signing of Joao Neves from Benfica. While there had been renewed talk of Kimmich moving to Paris, it now appears that other suitors, including Liverpool, may have a clearer path to securing the 28-year-old’s signature as he edges closer to…
Liverpool have put a disappointing summer transfer window behind them to record a good start to the season so far. The Reds had been expected to do much more in the market ahead of the new campaign, but signed only Federico Chiesa. Giorgi Mamardashvili also joined, but the Georgian goalkeeper will not join up with the Liverpool squad until next summer. The main disappointment for Liverpool supporters was that their club failed to sign a new starting midfielder to play alongside Alexis Mac Allister and Dominik Szoboszlai. Martin Zubimendi was targeted, but after the Spaniard chose to stay at Real…
Liverpool lost one of their most influential figures in modern history this summer with the departure of manager Jurgen Klopp. The German coach transformed the Reds more in the 21st Century than any other figure, with Klopp leading Liverpool to their first Premier League title as well as the UEFA Champions League in 2019 playing some of the best football on the planet. With Arne Slot impressing in his first few months as Liverpool manager, moving on from Klopp has been easier than expected for the Anfield side, with the Dutch coach taking the Merseyside giants in a new direction…
The fixture congestion that has arrived in the Liverpool Head Coach’s diary can be seen in two ways – either it is a headache with players travelling to and from Champions League fixtures, Premier League games and then having to ‘fit in’ the Carabao Cup game against West Ham tomorrow night – or, alternatively, fringe players will undoubtedly look at the Hammers’ visit as an opportunity to prove a point. So whilst it has been suggested that The Irons will face a ‘Liverpool 2nd XI’ tomorrow night, there are several players who for various reasons are men on a mission…
A repeat of last year’s EFL Cup quarter-final – which Liverpool convincingly won 5-1 – the reigning champions welcome West Ham United to Anfield for Wednesday’s third-round clash. The Reds eased past Bournemouth 3-0 in the Premier League at the weekend, while the Hammers were demolished by the same scoreline against Chelsea, and here Sports Mole rounds up the team news for both clubs. LIVERPOOL vs. WEST HAM UNITED LIVERPOOL Out: Harvey Elliott (foot), Alisson Becker (thigh) Doubtful: None Sports Mole’s predicted XI: Kelleher; Bradley, Gomez, Quansah, Tsimikas; Endo, Morton; Chiesa, Jones, Gakpo; Jota WEST HAM UNITED Out: None Doubtful:…
Liverpool have been boosted by the return of a promising duo, who both played their part in the club’s legendary 4-0 victory over Barcelona. Arne Slot’s side have started the season well with plenty of impressive results on the board already having won convincingly both at Old Trafford and the San Siro. But it’s early days, and the Dutchman is still adjusting to life in England and his new squad. One of the biggest changes that has been made by Slot in training is the fact that the first team and the U21 team train simultaneously at the AXA training…
Calum Scanlon has suffered another injury setback with the Liverpool loanee facing several months on the sidelines. Scanlon last month joined Millwall on a season-long loan and made his Championship debut from the bench in the home defeat to Luton Town last week. But the 19-year-old left-back has suffered a recurrence of a back injury that has previously ruled him out for lengthy periods. Scanlon has now returned to Liverpool for treatment on this issue and will be out until November at the earliest. “He has got a stress fracture in his back, which is a recurring injury from previous,”…
Liverpool dragged their encouraging start to the Premier League season back on track with a solid home win over Bournemouth on Saturday afternoon. Luis Diaz scored twice and Darwin Nunez also netted as the Reds did the business in the first half to earn a 3-0 triumph. The result means Arne Slot has now won five of his first six games in charge with his team temporarily moving to the summit of the early top-flight table.But there was plenty that went unnoticed or under the radar during the 90 minutes at Anfield… Liverpool’s eventual dominance during the first half was…
Liverpool loanee Owen Beck was seemingly bitten during a fiery end to the Lancashire derby that saw him sent off playing for Blackburn Rovers at Preston North End. Beck, who is on a season-long loan at Blackburn, was given his marching orders two minutes from the end of the goalless draw in the Championship on Sunday after an altercation with Preston midfielder Duane Holmes. However, during the melee that followed, television footage appeared to show the 22-year-old being bitten on the back of the neck by Preston’s Montenegro international Milutin Osmajic. Beck protested to the referee Matt Donohue and his…
