A man has been banned from football matches for what he did outside Anfield. Stuart Rutter, of Blue Cedar Drive in West Midlands, was outside the main stand of Anfield Stadium for the Liverpool v Crystal Palace game on April 14 – the eve of the 35th anniversary of the Hillsborough Disaster. The 41-year-old began chanting, mocking the Hillsborough tragedy, which police said caused “alarm and distress” to fans. Officers arrested and charged the Crystal Palace fan with a Section 5 Public Order offence. He was found guilty after trial at South Sefton Magistrates Court on Monday, September 2, and…
The VAR for Liverpool’s 3-0 win against Manchester United on Sunday has been told it made a ‘baffling’ error. Liverpool thrashed arch-rivals Man United at Old Trafford, maintaining their 100 per cent start to the new Premier League season.

The scoreline flattered United, whose performances was levels below Liverpool’s. The visitors spurned several chances to increase the score, and on another day might have been awarded a penalty. During the second…

Liverpool are already planning their next transfer just days after the summer window closed. The Reds were quiet in the 2024 summer transfer window, only signing two players to strengthen Arne Slot’s squad in his first season as manager of the club. Liverpool missed out on Real Sociedad midfielder Martin Zubimendi early in the window, but signed Georgian keeper Giorgi Mamardashvili and Federico Chiesa, with the former immediately sent on loan to former club Valencia. And now, a new report suggests that the club may already be considering reigniting their interest in a shock player, with one journalist suggesting that…
Liverpool’s interest in Martin Zubimendi is thought to remain despite the Spanish international’s u-turn in negotiations this summer. The Real Sociedad star opted to stay put in San Sebastian despite initially appearing to give reassurances that he was keen on a switch to Anfield. David Ornstein reviewed the Reds’ decision to not pursue a plan-B signing and speculated that Arne Slot’s side could yet revisit the option similarly to how they were patient for Virgil van Dijk’s signature in 2018. “They targeted Martin Zubimendi and got far in the deal, but ultimately he decided to stay at Real Sociedad,” the…

However, Régis Le Bris wasn’t in favour of his arrival at the Stadium of Light. Liverpool failed to sign the winger, who is still at the Mexican club.

Fabrizio Romano has provided two quick-fire updates about Leandro Trossard. Al Ittihad had submitted a transfer offer for Leandro Trossard, which Arsenal rejected. Arsenal have begun the Premier League season adequately. While they dropped points, controversially, against Brighton and Hove Albion, their two consecutive wins in the first two games still set them in good stead for the season ahead. In the second Premier League game, Leandro Trossard played a key role. He came off the bench and scored an almost instantaneous opener against Aston Villa, hinting to Mikel Arteta that he must start. And Trossard did start against his…
