He made a huge impact in the win against Nottingham Forest last weekend. Cody-Gakpo-Liverpool In a season that will be Jürgen Klopp’s last at the club, Liverpool have been superb, with the club in the hunt alongside Arsenal and Manchester City for the Premier League title with just 11 games remaining this season. The Reds currently sit top of the Premier League table, one point clear of Pep Guardiola’s side and two clear of Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal, with Klopp’s side able to match the two sides despite their hefty injury list. Players such as Trent Alexander-Arnold, Mohamed Salah and Alisson…
Liverpool confirmed on Wednesday evening that Mateusz Musialowski is in their Europa League squad to face Sparta Prague. The Pole is one of two youngsters on the bench yet to have made their debut for the club. The other, Musialowski’s compatriot Fabian Mrozek, is there as a third-choice goalkeeper and very unlikely to feature. Musialowski, on the other hand, has a very good opportunity here. Liverpool, after all, play Manchester City at the weekend and Jurgen Klopp won’t want to risk any senior stars in Prague. It’ll likely be a strong starting XI but the plan here will be to…
Liverpool and Manchester City have had some titanic clashes during the respective tenures of Jürgen Klopp and Pep Guardiola. Whether domestically or in Europe, they have repeatedly met with the very biggest prizes on the line, and the games have rarely disappointed. Many still hail Manchester City’s 2-1 win over Liverpool in the 2018/19 season as the highest-quality Premier League match ever played. Two teams at their peak were going toe-to-toe, in a contest and indeed a title race that was ultimately decided by a matter of millimeters. Those of a Liverpool persuasion will look back on the Champions League…
The fixture list has not been kind to Liverpool and Jürgen Klopp ahead of a potentially title-defining clash with Manchester City. But that’s the cost of competing for a quadruple. It’s also, in fairness, the cost of missing out on Champions League football last season. Ultimately, Liverpool only has itself to blame for its Thursday night outings, and that has cost Klopp a day of recovery before the Manchester City match. It’s doubly unfortunate that the quirks of the European schedule mean Manchester City is playing a second-leg encounter, while Liverpool will be competing the first leg against Sparta Prague.…
Alvaro Arbeloa has revealed how Lionel Messi made himself ‘easier’ to mark when the two locked horns in the Champions League with Liverpool and Barcelona. Messi has won two and lost two of his four competitive meetings with the Reds, but was knocked out of the Champions League on both occasions. A 4-0 victory at Anfield clinched the most famous of comebacks against the Catalans in the semi-finals back in 2019, while Liverpool progressed on away goals thanks to a 2-1 win at Camp Nou when the two met in the round of 16 in 2007. Arbeloa had only joined…
Jordan Henderson believes Liverpool have kicked on without him saying: “My exit gave them a boost.” The former Reds skipper, who lifted the Champions League trophy five years ago, believes that his departure has freshened up Jurgen Klopp ’s men. Henderson called time on a 12-year career at Anfield last summer after deciding to defect to Saudia Arabian side Al-Ettifaq. He said: “Looking back, it was the right time for me as a player – but also for the team and the club – as much as that hurt at the time. I was very emotional but it was the…
Liverpool legend Jamie Carragher and former Manchester City defender Micah Richards have made a big bet on the upcoming showdown between their two former clubs. The two ex-players are eagerly awaiting Sunday’s game, which sees Liverpool hosting the current Premier League champions in a crucial match for this year’s title race. They discussed the game while working together on CBS Sports’ Champions League coverage. Their chat ended with a wager for a new Thom Brown designer suit, which could cost the loser more than $2,000, based on prices from the company’s website. The bet was placed as they appeared on…
Not even donning the most rose-tinted of spectacles could persuade any Liverpool supporter to view the positives after their team dropped into the Europa League when finishing outside the top four last season. The Reds, though, have been sure to embrace the unique openings offered by featuring in the Continent’s secondary knockout competition. And few have made more of those opportunities than Wataru Endo. Indeed, it says much about the progress the Japan international has made during his debut season at Anfield that, having started all six group games in the Europa League, there will be many who hope he…
Liverpool continue their Europa League journey this week with a last-16 first leg away trip to Sparta Prague as the quadruple hunt rolls on. The Reds are still hampered by a long injury list, with another player set to be added to the list of absentees. As many as 11 players could miss the trip to Czechia, meaning a number of youngsters may be called upon once again. However, duo Trey Nyoni and Amara Nallo have not been included in the travelling contingent, with both ineligible for selection due to joining from Leicester and West Ham over the summer. Academy…
