Manchester City star Rodri is set to be out for the season after suffering a torn ACL against Arsenal. The brutal prognosis could have significant implications for the title race, but Liverpool may also harbor a quiet concern. On paper, this setback for Manchester City boosts Liverpool and Arsenal’s prospects in the hunt for the Premier League crown. That’s never a nice way of looking at injuries, and the bitter setback will not be celebrated at Anfield, but there’s also no escaping the fact that Pep Guardiola has lost the world’s best defensive midfielder from his team – having loaned…
After losing to Nottingham Forest, some Liverpool fans may have worried about what was to follow under Arne Slot but we quickly returned to winning ways in both the Champions League and Premier League. Speaking about the recent form of our new head coach, Gary Lineker said: “I think it’s essential for Arne Slot to get a good start, particularly after you know, following Jurgen Klopp’s never going to be easy. “[It’s] really, really difficult but I think we’re all a little bit surprised at how smoothly the transition has been.” Other than a hiccup against Nuno Espirito Santo’s side…
Gary Neville has criticised the Premier League, accusing them of acting like bullies in the face of a potential independent football regulator. The Football Governance Bill, which includes the establishment of an independent regulator, was introduced by the Conservatives in March and Labour are pushing ahead with it. The call for an independent regulator in English football gained traction after the Super League fiasco. The government have stated that it will ‘protect football clubs’ by ‘ensuring their financial sustainability’. If passed through parliament, the bill will grant a regulator backstop powers to intervene in football when necessary. Neville is a…
You could forgive football fans for wondering if they’d been transported over 11 years into the past after Liverpool loanee Owen Beck was on the receiving end of a bite yesterday. The Reds youngster, currently on loan with Blackburn Rovers, was incredibly sent off for his reaction to being bitten by Preston North End forward Milutin Osmajic during the goalless Lancashire derby. “Owen’s got a big bite mark on the back of his neck and it’s a shame the referee didn’t see that,” Rovers boss John Eustace told BBC Radio Lancashire (via BBC Sport). The Montenegrin star’s actions will have…
Gary Neville has completely dismissed Liverpool’s title chances this season, despite the Reds’ encouraging start to the campaign. Arne Slot’s side returned to winning ways in the Premier League on Saturday by beating Bournemouth 3-0, thanks to goals from Luis Diaz and Darwin Nunez. The victory put them temporarily top of the table before Manchester City’s clash with Arsenal on Sunday. The result at the Etihad couldn’t have gone much better for the Reds if they are to mount a title challenge this season. John Stone’s equalizer at the death rescued a point for City in a fiery encounter between…
Jamie Carragher has made his fresh Premier League title prediction after watching Man City and Arsenal play out a thrilling 2-2 draw on Sunday. A stunning long-range strike from Riccardo Calafiori cancelled out Erling Haaland’s early finish before Gabriel Magalhaes put Arsenal 2-1 up heading into the break. There was still time before the half-time whistle for Leandro Trossard to be sent off with Mikel Arteta’s side forced to play the full second half with ten men. Arsenal almost held on for the win, only for John Stones to score a last-gasp equaliser for the defending champions and give Man…
Darwin Nunez returned to the Liverpool starting line-up on Saturday for the first time in five months. The Uruguayan has endured a nightmare few months, and had a torrid summer plagued with uncertainty over his future. There have been reports linking him with a move away from Anfield, and he started the season playing second-fiddle to Diogo Jota. He celebrated his first start of the season in style, bagging his first goal of the campaign with a beautifully-taken left-footed effort from outside of the penalty area. The Anfield fan favorite was applauded by the adoring Kop, and his emotion was…
Liverpool’s Calum Scanlon has suffered another injury setback and now faces several months out. The 19-year-old went to Millwall on loan at the end of the transfer window but is already back on Merseyside to receive treatment for a back fracture. Scanlon is seen as one of the academy’s best prospects and made two Europa League appearances last season. However, the second half of his campaign was blighted by a recurring back injury that is now set to keep him out for months. It appears to be an issue that’s similar to the one fellow full backs Conor Bradley and…
On a sunny September day, Liverpool enjoyed a comfortable 3-0 win over Bournemouth at Anfield, with Arne Slot‘s celebration for one goal particularly enjoyable. The Reds cruised to victory on Saturday afternoon, despite the early scare of the visitors having a goal ruled out by VAR.Luis Diaz made it five goals in as many Premier League appearances this season, scoring twice, and Darwin Nunez brilliantly completed the scoring before half-time. Here are five things we spotted from Liverpool’s win. Nunez’s strike was the pick of bunch at Anfield, as the Uruguayan ended a 14-game run without a goal. Earlier this…
Liverpool strolled to an impressive 3-0 win over Bournemouth on Saturday, with Luis Diaz rightly receiving plenty of praise. Arne Slote’s men knew the importance of getting back to winning ways in the Premier League, following last weekend’s 1-0 loss at home to Nottingham Forest. Liverpool did exactly that, with Diaz netting twice and Darwin Nunez ending his 14-game goal drought with a superb hit. “Come the end of the season Arne Slot will be hoping he can laugh about last week’s defeat to Nottingham Forest. “Since that pitiful performance, Liverpool have made light work of Milan in the Champions…
