Liverpool defender Virgil van Dijk has praised fellow team-mate Joe Gomez’s recent performances, adding how he knew the 26-year-old was a shoo-in for an England call-up. Gomez has made a total of 40 appearances for the Reds so far this season and has been a consistent contributor under Jurgen Klopp. Forced to play at both centre-back and full-back, the former Charlton man is set to join up with Gareth Southgate’s squad for the upcoming internationals against Brazil and Belgium. Van Dijk, who has played alongside Gomez ever since his arrival back in 2018, recently told the media how he was…
Liverpool faced little resistance in the last 16 of this season’s Europa League. Having breezed through the group stage, the Reds set up a knockout tie with Sparta Prague and secured comfortable passage to the final eight after an 11-2 aggregate victory over the Czech champions.

Erik ten Hag has pinpointed exactly where his Manchester United team can ‘exploit’ Liverpool in their FA Cup quarter-final clash on Sunday. Liverpool head into the match as favourites having already tasted glory in the Carabao Cup this term while they are also locked in a tense top-flight title race.

For now, though, United and Liverpool are focused…
With a Carabao Cup winners’ medal draped around his neck and the celebrations of Liverpool’s latest success still going on around him, Virgil van Dijk reserved a pointed message to his critics. Sitting in the bowels of Wembley, fresh from picking up the Player of the Match award after scoring the winning goal to see off Chelsea on February 25, Van Dijk, with a glint in his eye, stared down the camera and mocked: “They thought I was finished!” It was seen, by some, as a cool riposte to those who had written off the Netherlands captain the previous season,…
Bobby Clark has made a super start to his senior Liverpool career after breaking into Jurgen Klopp’s side of late – and his Father would love to see him join Newcastle United at some point in his career. Clark only turned 19 in February but has come into the side of late, making 11 senior outings since the turn of the year. He got an assist in The FA Cup against Southampton, during Liverpool’s 3-0 victory. Then, last night, Clark scored his first goal for Liverpool in a 6-1 win over Sparta Prague in the Europa League. He also laid…
Stan Collymore has outlined why Manchester United will be especially incentivised to defeat rivals Liverpool in the FA Cup. The 53-year-old pointed to the domestic competition as being the only piece of silverware the Red Devils can compete for this term. “It’s a big game, especially for United, who only really have the FA Cup to compete for,” the former Red told CaughtOffside. “It’s also a massive game for Liverpool, who remain in all four competitions. “The Reds also seem to be getting stronger the deeper they go, so I’m expecting another really hard-fought game for Erik Ten Hag’s men.”…
