For Federico Chiesa, the circumstances could hardly have been better as he took to the field for the first time as a Liverpool player. It was in the closing stages of Tuesday’s Champions League win at AC Milan that he was afforded a first run out for his new club since signing from Juventus in a deal worth £11m last month. The Italy international has had to bide his time since signing on the dotted lines at Anfield, with both the 3-0 victory over Manchester United and Saturday’s shock defeat to Nottingham Forest deemed too soon for a debut after…

Carragher made his senior debut for the Reds in 1997 in the League Cup after coming through the academy set-up at Anfield, establishing himself as a regular in the first-team set-up from thereon out. However, the ex-England international…
Arne Slot simply couldn’t resist. When probed about his team’s next opponents, the Liverpool head coach swiftly pointed to a major reason Bournemouth are more than holding their own in the Premier League. “They have a lot of individual quality, the manager did a great job there but I think the sporting director who worked there for so many years did a very good job as well,” says Slot. “Maybe because of that, Liverpool took him from them as he brought in some really good and talented players.” The person in question, of course, is Richard Hughes, who Slot reveals…
Liverpool are assessing the fitness of Alisson Becker ahead of this weekend’s fixture with AFC Bournemouth at Anfield. Arne Slot revealed the goalkeeper missed Thursday’s training session and his condition will be checked by the club’s medical team to determine whether he can participate in Friday’s workout.

It has got to the stage where people are having to debate exactly why Everton fans are booing. When Sean Dyche turned to his bench during the Carabao Cup defeat by Southampton, the echo of disdain was aimed at the manager. Whether it was over the removal of the lone striker Beto when there was a match to be won or bringing on Ashley Young is uncertain. The truth is somewhere in between but the key detail is that there is unrest at Goodison Park. Everton exited the Carabao Cup meekly on Tuesday, adding to a miserable Premier League start…
