Liverpool transfer stories may soon no longer have to come with such a major disclaimer. Right now, it’s hard to see how FSG could be making any concrete plans without either a manager or sporting director in place for next season. But there is movement on that front. It seems Michael Edwards is primed to take up an overarching role, with Richard Hughes operating underneath him as the sporting director. A successor to Jürgen Klopp will hopefully follow in due course. Even with that position vacant, however, Liverpool is close to getting the sort of structure in place that will…

Liverpool remain the only club who have come close to signing Shakhtar Donetsk player Georgiy Sudakov. The Ukranian has his suitors, however. Calciomercato claims Liverpool are the only club to have come close to signing Shakhtar Donetsk midfielder Georgiy Sudakov. Sudakov is considered the brightest prospect in Ukrainian football. The now-21-year-old scored five and assisted seven last season as Shakhtar won the title – a campaign that prompted plenty of interest in the youngster.

Pundit predictions can be utterly terrible sometimes. Whether it’s Chris Sutton, Paul Merson or Mark Lawrenson, many of the columnists who try to predict games in the Premier League get it so wrong on a weekly basis. However, one pundit who does seem to have a knack for predictions is Troy Deeney. Last week, the striker started posting Premier League predictions to his TikTok page, and, remarkably, he called the result of every single game correctly. Deeney has attempted to follow up his predictions this week, and perhaps the most difficult game to call this weekend is Liverpool vs Manchester…

Nunez hit 15 goals in all competitions but his sublime strike against Sparta Prague on Thursday means he has already surpassed that tally in his second season. But going into the huge clash between Liverpool and City at Anfield on Sunday, which number nine comes on top…
