When it comes to unlikely Liverpool heroes, there are few in recent memory who loom quite as large as Wataru Endo. Used in some quarters as a vehicle to bemoan FSG’s oft-divisive transfer strategy when he first arrived from Stuttgart in a £16.2m deal last August, the midfielder has now rendered himself a virtual undroppable for Jurgen Klopp’s side as they continue their crusade for an unprecedented quadruple this term. And, if the awarding of a terrace chant is to be regarded as a reliable gauge of fan sentiment, then the sight of Liverpool supporters singing their No.3’s praises to…
Newcastle United must overcome Manchester City in order to set up an FA Cup semi-final date at Wembley Stadium next month – a task easier said than done. The two sides lock horns on Saturday evening in the competition’s quarter-finals, knowing that matters must be settled on the night. If it remains level after 90 minutes, then extra-time and maybe even penalties would be required to settle the score. Eddie Howe may be facing a crisis in his front line as the club await confirmation of the extent of Anthony Gordon’s injury sustained against Chelsea on Monday night, but what…
Patrick Bamford believes there is no one better than Liverpool’s Trent Alexander- Arnold when it comes to striking a ball. Trent Alexander-Arnold is currently sidelined with a knee injury but the full-back was enjoying an exceptional campaign. The 25-year-old has deservedly earned the reputation as one of the best passers in the Premier League, alongside the likes of Kevin De Bruyne. We’ve arguably never seen a full-back as technically gifted as Trent, particularly when it comes to his playmaking abilities. And Patrick Bamford has suggested that the Liverpool star is the best ball-striker in world football right now. Bamford lauds…

Mo Salah is right on the brink of setting a new Liverpool record tonight as the Reds host Sparta Prague in the UEFA Europa League Last 16. The Egyptian thought he’d set it last week. Liverpool take on Sparta Prague tonight in the second leg of their UEFA Europa League Last 16 tie. The Reds will play it with a 5-1 head start but despite that, Mo Salah almost certainly plays. Jurgen Klopp is eager to build up the Egyptian’s match fitness. Salah has only made four appearances in 2024, with his last start coming on New Year’s Day. The…

Mikel Arteta is preparing for a busy summer transfer window because he wants to add more players to his squad and make them even better. Another holding midfielder is at the top of Arsenal’s list of areas they want to reinforce.

When Michael Edwards announced his decision to leave his post as Liverpool sporting director back in November 2021, one theory regarding his exit quickly spread. Supporters mooted the possibility that Jordan Henderson had inadvertently played a role after Jurgen Klopp had intervened in his contract negotiations the previous summer. Speculation regarding the then Reds captain’s future had started to arise, with the midfielder being linked with a move away as talks dragged on. But when Klopp was asked about Henderson’s future in mid-August, he was adamant that it would be resolved quickly. “It is important but it will happen,” Klopp…
Ryan Gravenberch was a welcome sight in Liverpool’s open training session on Wednesday afternoon, whilst Jurgen Klopp provided update on Mohamed Salah’s progress. The Dutchman was last seen during the first half of last month’s Carabao Cup Final triumph against Chelsea. He was carried from the Wembley Stadium pitch after being on the receiving end of a nasty-looking challenge from Moises Caicedo, and has luckily escaped a lengthy lay-off. With Liverpool’s midfield options depleted in the immediate aftermath of that match, this latest return is a major boost before two matches in quick succession ahead of the international break. It…
A UEFA official has tacitly admitted that a potential Europa League final between Liverpool and Rangers could be ‘challenging’ as the organization analyzes the possible outcomes for the tournament. The final is set to be held in Dublin at The Aviva Stadium on May 22. The prospect of an all-British final would undoubtedly lead to waves of fans entering the city. And UEFA is looking to plan for all potential outcomes in the tournament by reserving Croke Park — which has a capacity of around 82,000 — as a potential public viewing venue. Liverpool is currently the bookmakers’ favorite to…
As Liverpool prepare to say goodbye to Jurgen Klopp, they must brace for a potential ripple effect within the team. With the beloved manager departing after nine iconic years at Anfield, there is a lot of talk over whether any key players will also be heading for the exit once the summer transfer window opens. The Reds will be on the market for signings of their own but some senior cogs in the machine now also have a question mark hanging over them. While Mohamed Salah remains the hot topic amid Saudi Arabia’s ongoing interest, Luis Díaz now also finds…
