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…
Jurgen Klopp has suggested that Manchester City will not “care” about something at this moment in time. Trent Alexander-Arnold claimed that in his eyes, City look likely to seal the Premier League title now. However, Liverpool piled on the pressure on Pep Guardiola’s men in the league title now on Sunday with a 3-1 win against Fulham. Facing Marco Silva’s side at Craven Cottage can prove to be a tricky fixture. But Timothy Castagne’s equaliser to cancel Trent Alexander-Arnold’s free-kick out did not faze Liverpool, with Ryan Gravenberch and Diogo Jota rounding off a crucial win for them. With Jurgen…
Jurgen Klopp has revealed how Liverpool’s analytics department played a vital role in the Reds’ 3-1 victory over Fulham. Trent-Alexander Arnold opened the scoring for Liverpool with a stunning 25-yard free-kick moments after Harvey Elliott had sent a low set-piece into the wall. And speaking after the final whistle, Klopp revealed that the club’s analytics team had spotted that the Reds could potentially benefit from shooting under a wall from a free-kick scenario. And while it didn’t work out for Elliott, the Liverpool boss believes such a strike contributed to Alexander-Arnold being able to find the top corner soon after.…
Liverpool climbed above Manchester City in the Premier League with a comfortable win at Fulham table as Pep Guardiola’s side dealt with FA Cup duties on the weekend – another twist in the title race. It came after a dismal fortnight for Jurgen Klopp’s side in which they suffered a 3-0 defeat to Atalanta at Anfield in the Europa League. That was followed by a shock 1-0 defeat to Crystal Palace last weekend. Liverpool have had their injury issues and that hasn’t helped. Nevertheless, some poor performances have affected The Reds. Some rest bite on Thursday, a 1-0 win in…
Jurgen Klopp has given his thoughts on which team will come out on top when they play each other: Manchester City or Tottenham Hotspur. City’s game against Ange Postecoglou’s side was set to take place this past weekend. However, unlike Tottenham, Pep Guardiola’s men were in the semi-finals of the FA Cup, where they beat Chelsea 1-0, which is why the game was rearranged. Now, the game is set to be a late-night kick-off and that too on a Tuesday. The Sky Blues will travel to North London to go head-to-head against the Lilywhites at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. This…
During Liverpool’s 3-1 win over Fulham on Sunday, one new statistic emerged, placing one of the Reds’ rising stars in elite company. As pointed out by Michael Reid on X (formerly known as Twitter), midfielder Harvey Elliott’s assist for Ryan Gravenberch to score the side’s second was his seventh in all competitions since the start of February. This, he points out, puts the 21-year-old in the same company as one of football’s most renowned playmakers, Manchester City maestro Kevin De Bruyne. Out of all Premier League players, only the Belgian has laid on more assists in all competitions during this…
Gary Neville has responded when asked whether Liverpool can now win the Premier League title this season after they got back to winning ways on Sunday. Many, understandably, felt that Manchester City had one hand on the trophy again after last weekend, with Pep Guardiola’s men winning as Arsenal and Liverpool suffered surprise defeats. City have been in FA Cup semi-final action this weekend. And that presented both Arsenal and Liverpool with the chance to move back above the champions. Arsenal did their bit on Saturday, beating Wolves 2-0 at Molineux. That piled the pressure on Liverpool ahead of the…
Liverpool got back to winning ways in the Premier League today at Fulham but Diogo Jota was far from happy with everything. Jota was back among the goals after being given a start by Jurgen Klopp and after being out for so long, his return is a welcome boost for the Reds. Much like the returning Trent Alexander-Arnold, having Jota back involved feels like getting a new signing at a really important time in the season. Indeed, Trent also found himself on the scoresheet with a superb free-kick. But despite the 3-1 win and Jota himself getting his goal, the…
Six more to go. With Liverpool out of Europe, the Jurgen Klopp farewell tour is now confined to the Premier League. And it continues at Fulham this afternoon with the Reds looking to keep pace with new leaders Arsenal. What, then, is the Liverpool boss to do? There have to be changes. Not in goal, though. That’s Alisson Becker. And much of the defence can stay the same with Trent Alexander-Arnold at right-back and Andy Robertson left-back, but Jarell Quansah can come in to partner skipper Virgil van Dijk at centre-back. Liverpool without five players for crucial Premier League clash…
