Liverpool returns to Premier League action after the international break today with Nottingham Forest coming to Anfield. Arne Slot’s side faces two home league games on the spin with Bournemouth the visitor next weekend. Having won three out of three matches at the helm so far, things have gone well for Slot to date. But with Manchester City also having a 100 per cent record, the Reds need to maintain that kind of form. There is very little in the way of margin for error at the top end of the table and that is where Liverpool wants to stay.…
Liverpool are looking to equal a clean sheet record when they host Nottingham Forest on Saturday, with Arne Slot also aiming to make history. It’s three wins out of three for Arne Slot, with the Dutchman making an impressive start to life as Jurgen Klopp‘s successor. The Reds return to Premier League action on Saturday afternoon, intending to continue the form that saw them beat Man United 3-0 at Old Trafford. This weekend, the 45-year-old can become the first Liverpool manager ever to win his opening four league matches without conceding a goal. A clean sheet would also mean that…
Liverpool legend Sadio Mane left the club in 2022 to pursue a new chapter in his career with Bayern Munich after helping the Reds reach a third Champions League Final. Mane struggled at Bayern with injuries and form, as he was unfairly asked to switch from the left wing to striker as Robert Lewandowski’s replacement. A declining Mane then left to the emerging Saudi Pro League, joining forces with Cristiano Ronaldo at Al-Nassr. Unfortunately, Mane’s tenure in Saudi Arabia has not been as fruitful as Cristiano’s. Whereas the latter is adding to his record goal-scoring tally, Mane has been good…

Liverpool have flown out of the blocks this season, collecting maximum points, but the international break has given new boss Arne Slot much to think about. A pair of 2-0 wins – against Ipswich Town and Brentford – and a 3-0 demolition of Manchester United have endeared the Anfield faithful to the new Dutchman at the helm. Slot has kept the same starting line-up for the past two games, but with Alexis Mac Allister picking up an injury and Harvey Elliott ruled out for a few weeks, there are some interesting decisions to be made. The Reds welcome an also-unbeaten…
Liverpool defenders Joe Gomez and Andy Robertson traded boots for paintbrushes in the first episode of a new video series on the club’s official YouTube channel, AXA Player Portraits. The duo sat down opposite each other to tackle the challenge of creating artistic images of their team-mates. Robertson mocked Gomez’s claim that he had last picked up a paintbrush to do some DIY: “You’ve not decorated your house, shut up!” While working on their masterpieces, the pair reminisced about their earliest football memories, discussed their career ambitions, and offered insights into adapting to life under new head coach Arne Slot.…
Liverpool’s autumn employee forum at Anfield unveiled a fresh perspective with new sporting director Richard Hughes and head coach Arne Slot at the helm. This gathering in the Carlsberg Dugout sports bar not only served as a moment for nostalgia but also as a testament to the promising direction the club is taking under their guidance. As detailed by James Pearce for The Athletic, the event was filled with laughter and optimism, starting with a light-hearted nod to Hughes’ past exploits against Liverpool itself. Hughes and Slot: Building Bonds and Bridging Eras. Richard Hughes’ introduction to the Liverpool staff involved…
Arne Slot confirmed on Friday that Harvey Elliott has suffered a fractured foot, news which had broken in the media earlier this week. Gregg Evans of The Athletic reports that Elliott aggravated an existing issue whilst away with the England u21s this month, and further assessments with Liverpool confirmed a fracture. James Pearce confirmed that Elliott will miss at least a month. But it could be longer. Paul Joyce of The Times reports that Elliott will be sidelined until late October, and foot fractures usually do require at least six weeks out. That puts Elliott participation against Arsenal next month…
Fenway Sports Group’s long-term business plan is to flip Liverpool for a profit on the £300m they paid for the club back in 2010. Such has been the explosion in the value of the Premier League‘s TV rights and Liverpool’s maturing commercial strategy, they could expect a 10-15x return on that figure if they sold the club tomorrow. John Henry, FSG’s biggest individual shareholder with around a 40 per cent stake, still believes there is untapped value in football and that Liverpool‘s price can go even higher. FSG sold an unspecified stake in the club to American private equity firm…
Sven-Goran Eriksson, who died at the age of 76 last month, managed Liverpool in a legends game in March and was a lifelong supporter of the Reds. Sven-Goran Eriksson was given a heartfelt farewell as ‘You’ll Never Walk Alone’ played out for the former England manager at his Swedish funeral. The Torsby service saw an emotional turnout with hundreds coming together to remember Eriksson, who sadly passed away at 76 after his cancer battle. David Beckham and Roy Hodgson were among the crowd paying tribute. Eriksson had bravely shared his diagnosis earlier this year but realised a cherished ambition when…
