Liverpool won 3-1 at Fulham on Sunday in a relatively comfortable fashion which has been all too rare in recent weeks. Disregard the stoppage time at the end of the 3-1 victory against Sheffield United and it was the first time the Reds had held a two-goal lead in a Premier League game for seven matches. We will never know, but it’s plausible that the Liverpool squad would’ve suffered fewer injuries this season had it been able to win more games with greater ease. The final 24 minutes of the win at Craven Cottage were largely a non-event and Jürgen…
Mikel Arteta believes Arsenal have a big psychological advantage over title rivals Manchester City and Liverpool. As it stands, Arsenal are top of the Premier League table, level on points with Liverpool but ahead on goal difference, with City a point behind. But crucially, the Citizens have a game in hand over their rivals, making them favourites to win a record-breaking fourth consecutive title. The outlook of the title race changed drastically two weeks ago, when City thrashed Luton 5-1 to go top and stayed there after Liverpool and then Arsenal failed to win their games against Crystal Palace and…
Liverpool beat Fulham 3-1 on Sunday afternoon, winning at Craven Cottage having not triumphed in any of its previous three visits. With the Reds facing three Premier League away matches in the space of a week for only the second time since 2006, it was a perfect start to a very testing seven-day period. Jürgen Klopp acknowledged as much after the game. “We won our last two away games, can I ask for more?” he pondered. “Besides the last 10 minutes in the first half, we did extremely well. The boys played a really good football game.” The three goals…
Having seen Harvey Elliott’s attempt to go under the wall from a promising free-kick situation just moments earlier, Alexander-Arnold showed his younger colleague just exactly how it is really done from a dead-ball, curling over the assembly of Fulham players instead to put Liverpool 1-0 up on the day. It was a stunning set-piece that showcased everything great about the wand that is seemingly attached to the end of the vice-captain’s right leg and having seen a wonderful effort taken off him and given to Bernd Leno as own goal in the corresponding fixture at Anfield in December, there was…
Jurgen Klopp believes that Cody Gakpo has recaptured his best Liverpool form. The striker helped the Reds bounced back to winning ways in the Premier League as they earned a 3-1 triumph over Fulham last weekend. Gakpo recorded the assist for Diogo Jota’s goal to put the gloss on the victory as Liverpool moved level on points with leaders Arsenal in the title race. Gakpo’s performances have been eye-catching of late, having also earned plaudits over the two legs in the Europa League quarter-final defeat by Atalanta and in his substitute cameos in a 1-1 draw against Manchester United and…
Liverpool have one player who is outperforming the very best attackers in the Premier League, including Mohamed Salah and Erling Haaland. The goals have flown in this season for Jurgen Klopp’s side as their summer signings have been conclusively far better in front of goal while their attacking front five have all scored a minimum of 10 goals in all competitions. It’s a huge reason why Liverpool won the EFL Cup and were in contention for all four competitions until March. While Salah is their top scorer in all competition with 24, there’s been great performances all round in attack,…
Liverpool’s face another tricky test in their title challenge this Wednesday evening when the Reds face Everton in the Merseyside derby at Goodison Park. Jurgen Klopp’s side have surrendered their lead at the top of the table in recent weeks after some costly slip-ups, but they recovered with a much-needed 3-1 victory against Fulham on Sunday. While not at their blistering best, a much-changed Liverpool XI picked up a crucial three points, lifting them to second in the table with five games to play. The Reds still have some immensely challenging fixtures to come and the run-in continues with a…
Jamie Carragher reckons that Roberto De Zerbi ‘must be the favourite’ to now land the Liverpool manager’s job. It is reported that the Reds are unlikely to appoint Ruben Amorim as Jurgen Klopp’s successor in the Anfield hot seat at the end of the season. Amorim had been regarded as the frontrunner after Xabi Alonso committed his future to Bayer Leverkusen – but The Athletic suggests the 39-year-old is not Liverpool’s preferred choice and Premier League rivals W
Gary Neville claims Liverpool must “keep Manchester City honest” in the Premier League title race if they want to avoid having regrets at the end of the season. The Reds moved back above the reigning champions with a 3-1 victory over Fulham on Sunday, brining a run of two Premier League matches without a win to an end. However, Man City now have a game in hand on Jurgen Klopp’s side, while Arsenal are still ahead of them in the table on goal difference after their 2-0 win over Wolves on Saturday. The title race is firmly out of Liverpool’s…
Former Liverpool defender Steve Nicol was left unimpressed by Liverpool’s victory over Fulham on Sunday, insisting that the Reds still don’t look like a title-winning team. Goals from Trent Alexander-Arnold, Ryan Gravenberch and Diogo Jota got Liverpool back to winning ways in the Premier League at Craven Cottage, a result that moves Jurgen Klopp’s side to second in the table for the time being. While not Liverpool’s greatest display of the season, it was a hugely important victory for a team low on confidence, especially given the changes Klopp made to the starting lineup. The majority of the club’s supporters…
