During Liverpool’s 3-1 win over Fulham on Sunday, one new statistic emerged, placing one of the Reds’ rising stars in elite company. As pointed out by Michael Reid on X (formerly known as Twitter), midfielder Harvey Elliott’s assist for Ryan Gravenberch to score the side’s second was his seventh in all competitions since the start of February. This, he points out, puts the 21-year-old in the same company as one of football’s most renowned playmakers, Manchester City maestro Kevin De Bruyne. Out of all Premier League players, only the Belgian has laid on more assists in all competitions during this…
Gary Neville has responded when asked whether Liverpool can now win the Premier League title this season after they got back to winning ways on Sunday. Many, understandably, felt that Manchester City had one hand on the trophy again after last weekend, with Pep Guardiola’s men winning as Arsenal and Liverpool suffered surprise defeats. City have been in FA Cup semi-final action this weekend. And that presented both Arsenal and Liverpool with the chance to move back above the champions. Arsenal did their bit on Saturday, beating Wolves 2-0 at Molineux. That piled the pressure on Liverpool ahead of the…
Liverpool got back to winning ways in the Premier League today at Fulham but Diogo Jota was far from happy with everything. Jota was back among the goals after being given a start by Jurgen Klopp and after being out for so long, his return is a welcome boost for the Reds. Much like the returning Trent Alexander-Arnold, having Jota back involved feels like getting a new signing at a really important time in the season. Indeed, Trent also found himself on the scoresheet with a superb free-kick. But despite the 3-1 win and Jota himself getting his goal, the…
Six more to go. With Liverpool out of Europe, the Jurgen Klopp farewell tour is now confined to the Premier League. And it continues at Fulham this afternoon with the Reds looking to keep pace with new leaders Arsenal. What, then, is the Liverpool boss to do? There have to be changes. Not in goal, though. That’s Alisson Becker. And much of the defence can stay the same with Trent Alexander-Arnold at right-back and Andy Robertson left-back, but Jarell Quansah can come in to partner skipper Virgil van Dijk at centre-back. Liverpool without five players for crucial Premier League clash…
Jamie Redknapp has predicted who will win the Premier League next season, with Manchester City, Arsenal and Liverpool locked in a three-way battle for this year’s top honours. Premier League fans are being treated to the best title race in decades, with just three points separating current leaders Arsenal and third-placed Liverpool. Arsenal, who lost to Aston Villa last weekend, returned to the top of the table with a 2-0 win at Wolves on Saturday evening. But defending champions Man City can leapfrog the Gunners when they play their game in hand, while Liverpool will move level with Mikel Arteta’s…
Tony Cascarino has suggested that one Liverpool player must be so frustrating to his teammates because of one ‘terrible’ habit he has. Liverpool have got a real point to prove in the final weeks of the season. Unfortunately, it is looking increasingly likely that Jurgen Klopp’s final year at Anfield may end only with a Carabao Cup victory. Liverpool are playing catch up in the Premier League after their surprise loss to Crystal Palace last weekend. While the Reds were poor against the Eagles, they still managed to create a raft of glorious chances to get themselves back into the…
Former Tottenham manager Harry Redknapp is expecting Liverpool to secure a narrow victory when they face Fulham this weekend. The Reds suffered a shock home defeat to Crystal Palace last Sunday and they were knocked out of the Europa League by Atalanta midweek. However, speaking exclusively to BetVictor, Redknapp said he is backing Jurgen Klopp’s side to “edge” the game against the Cottagers: “Fulham got a comfortable win over West Ham last week; it’s been another good season for the club. Marco Silva is a very good manager and I’m surprised he doesn’t seem to get linked to bigger jobs.…
Liverpool captain Virgil van Dijk firmly believes his side can still win the Premier League title. As the men in red strive to fend off Manchester City and Arsenal in what could be an electrifying end to the season, Van Dijk holds the mantra that “anything is possible”. After a demoralising defeat at the hands of Crystal Palace last weekend, Jurgen Klopp’s men find themselves in third place, ceding the vantage point to their rivals. However, with six games still remaining on the schedule, the Dutch defender remains resolutely optimistic. “Big six. Anything is still possible. We have to give…
“In the end, everything will be fine. If it wasn’t going to be okay, I wouldn’t be leaving.” The words of Jurgen Klopp after his youthful Liverpool side had somehow beaten Chelsea’s expensively assembled squad to lift the first piece of silverware in the Carabao Cup final in February. It was a time when Liverpool fans and players were dreaming of giving their manager the perfect send off with an unprecedented quadruple. One down, three to go. Klopp joked of how he told the players it was their fault for being so good that he felt the time was now…
Few moments in Premier League history are as infamous as Luis Suarez biting Branislav Ivanovic. Punch-ups, elbows, choke-holds and even testicle grabs have made back page headlines in recent decades, but Suarez’s chomp was the first of its kind in English football. Midway through Liverpool’s 2-2 draw with Chelsea back in April 2013 (11 years ago this Sunday), Suarez bit Ivanovic on the arm after being dispossessed by the burly Serb, but the Uruguayan got off scot free because the officials didn’t spot it. To make matters worse, Suarez scored a 97th-minute equaliser, though compliments were in short supply at…
