Liverpool are third in the Premier League table after 31 games, with leaders Manchester City two points clear at the top of the table having played a game more, while they are behind Arsenal due to an inferior goal difference, and they know they have to keep winning if they want to win the title. The Reds have lost just two league games all season and will hope to keep firing on all cylinders in the league despite being at risk of elimination in the Europa League following the 3-0 loss to Atalanta in the first-leg of their quarter-final tie…
Paul Merson says the disadvantage that Manchester City has over Liverpool and Arsenal in the Premier League title race is why he wouldn’t want to be in Pep Guardiola’s squad at the moment. The former Gunners ace has placed City third in the likelihood of winning the league this season. Before Manchester City hosted Luton Town in the Premier League, Merson said on Sky Sports: “Every game is a hard game. Even today Luton at home, they [City] are going to have one eye on Real Madrid there’s no question about that. “You end up starting this game slowly, the…
Crystal Palace boss Oliver Glasner has now praised Liverpool and Jurgen Klopp ahead of Sunday’s Premier League clash at Anfield. The Austrian takes Crystal Palace to Merseyside on Sunday as he searches for a first away win since replacing Roy Hodgson in February. However, the south Londoners could well come up against a spirited Liverpool side, hungry to put things right again after Thursday’s humiliating 3-0 defeat to Atalanta. If Jurgen Klopp and Liverpool are to pick up three points against Crystal Palace, pressing the ball effectively – which did not happen on Thursday – will be an important factor,…
Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp insists he is ‘100 per cent’ making the right decision by walking away from Anfield at the end of the season. The Reds boss is hoping to guide his side to Premier League glory and bow out on a positive note, though both Arsenal and Manchester City are keen to spoil the party. In a shock announcement, Klopp revealed in January that he would walk away from the Merseyside outfit this summer as he is ‘running out of energy’ on the touchline. The ex-Borussia Dortmund manager has insisted that he needs to spend some time away…
Arsenal, Liverpool and Manchester City are contesting one of the most exciting Premier League title races in recent history. Mikel Arteta’s Gunners currently sit top of the table on 71 points, level with Jurgen Klopp’s Reds but with a better goal difference. Pep Guardiola’s Citizens, the reigning champions, sit third behind Arsenal and Liverpool, but they’re just one point adrift. Three teams separated by one point with seven games left is pretty much unprecedented in the Premier League, and a grandstand finish beckons. In recent weeks, pundits have been sharing their opinions on who they think will finish top of…
Liverpool might end up remembering Atalanta’s visit to Anfield as a turning point in the season for all the wrong reasons. Jürgen Klopp will not have given up hope of a comeback, but the heavy defeat has stacked the odds against the Reds in the Europa League, piling the pressure on achieving Premier League glory. However, that quest could be aided by the extremely positive news on the injury front. It was hard to get too excited about it as a third shot flashed past Caoimhín Kelleher, but the Liverpool bench against Atalanta represented a huge leap forward compared to…
Jayden Danns has been one of the standout members of Klopp’s Kids this season and he’s continuing to show why we all think so much of him. Liverpool U21s beat Manchester United 3-0 at Old Trafford in Premier League 2 but the Scouser stole the headlines with one special moment. Lewis Koumas, another young man who’s starred for the first-team this season, drove down the left wing and then found the striker in the box. The 18-year-old showed his strength and skill as he held two defenders off before expertly back-heeling the ball into the back of the net.
The shock of this season’s Europa League took place on Thursday when Atalanta departed Anfield after a well-deserved 3-0 win over Liverpool. The Reds were amongst the favourites to win the trophy this season, but it will take a comeback of Barcelona proportions if they want to still be in with a chance of getting their game on the cup. Jurgen Klopp didn’t hide behind any excuses as to what caused the defeat during his post-match interviews, simply giving credit to the Serie A side for being the better team and publicly outing his players for not being good enough.…
Former Liverpool midfielder Luis Alberto says he has asked Lazio to rip up his contract, stating he will search for a new club in the summer. The 31-year-old has been at the Italian club for eight years after leaving Anfield in 2016. His ill-fated three years at Anfield saw him make just 12 senior appearances, just two of them starts, amid loan spells to Malaga and Deportivo La Coruna. Alberto has recently edged past 300 appearances for Lazio and will be remembered as one of the club’s longest-serving players. However, this has not been the goodbye season he would have…
Ex-Manchester City player and manager Stuart Pearce says he is backing Arsenal, not his former club, to finish top of the table this season. Speaking to William Hill‘s No Tippy Tappy Football podcast, the 61-year-old said he was hesitant about naming Pep Guardiola’s side as favourites for the title again after their treble campaign and, with the Gunners now sitting in first, he believes the Gunners can go all the way, despite their tough fixture list: “Before the start of the season, I said that I wasn’t sure who would win the Premier League this season, but that it wouldn’t…
