Liverpool has won yet another game. As the fixtures continue to come thick and fast, Jürgen Klopp’s side just keeps on excelling. Caoimhín Kelleher was sublime in the first half against Sparta Prague but the Reds ultimately won comfortably by a scoreline of five goals to one. Ahead of next week’s second leg, Liverpool already has more than one foot in the last-eight. With the return A) at Anfield and B) coming between fixtures against Manchester City and Manchester United, having such a big margin for error could be massively important. And Darwin Núñez, Alexis Mac Allister and Caoimhín Kelleher…

It’s the end of an era at Anfield on Sunday. Pep Guardiola and Jurgen Klopp will stand next to each other on the touchline for the final time in the Premier League. Klopp is leaving Liverpool at the end of the season, with half of Merseyside desperate to sign him off with a second Premier League title. Manchester City and Guardiola are probably the most likely side who can stop that happening, and City want to make history with a fourth-successive Premier League title and potential double treble. There is far more than three points on offer this weekend, with…

It was almost the perfect night for Jürgen Klopp. Had it not been for one unfortunate moment, the Liverpool boss wouldn’t have been able to script a much better build-up to an absolutely enormous game this weekend. You certainly couldn’t have blamed Klopp or his players for having one eye on Sunday’s meeting with Manchester City. There was no sign of that though as Liverpool stormed to a 5-1 win over Sparta Prague in the first leg of its Europa League last-16 tie, effectively putting one foot in the quarter-finals already. Were it not for Ibrahima Konaté pulling up injured…

Liverpool continues to see the results of its significant investment in Darwin Núñez and Alexis Mac Allister. The South American duo again linked up to devastating effect as the Reds comfortably beat Sparta Prague in the first leg of their Europa League Round of 16 tie. After a frantic first half, Núñez scored a well-taken brace to ensure Jürgen Klopp’s team took charge of the tie. His second goal came just before half-time and was the result of a delightful through ball over the top from Mac Allister. Núñez showcased his pace to beat the Prague defender to the ball…

Jurgen Klopp praised the ruthless manner in which Liverpool punished Sparta Prague’s “risky” approach as his team took a significant step towards the Europa League quarter-finals. Two goals from Darwin Nunez, an Alexis Mac Allister penalty and second-half strikes from Luis Diaz and Dominik Szoboszlai earned the Reds a 5-1 win in their round of 16 first leg in Czechia on Thursday evening. Sparta had caused Liverpool a number of problems during the first half in which Caoimhin Kelleher made several good stops, although they only found the target through an own goal by Reds substitute Conor Bradley shortly after…

In Prague, there were valuable minutes for Mohamed Salah and Dominik Szoboszlai who are continuing their comebacks from injury. It was a second involvement for the Hungarian after his cameo against Nottingham Forest, while Salah marked his first outing in four matches after aggravating his muscle injury in the 4-1 win over Brentford. Konate’s suspected injury is another setback for the Frenchman after enjoying an extended run in the XI. With a possible problem for Gomez, Jarell Quansah could be in line for his ninth Premier League appearance. Ibrahima Konate Ibrahima Konate pulled up after tracking back to defend a…

Mo Salah looked to have netted for Liverpool on his return to action on Thursday The VAR review which ruled the effort out proved controversial on social media CHRIS SUTTON and IAN LADYMAN give their title predictions (finally!) – It’s All Kicking Off podcast Liverpool fans have claimed Mo Salah was wrongly denied a goal by VAR in the club’s win over Sparta Prague. In his first appearance since featuring in their win over Brentford last month, Salah came on off the bench to replace Luis Diaz at the Epet Arena. Within ten minutes of his return Salah had the…

We’ll take VAR’s word for it, but we have to admit the offside call to disallow Mo Salah’s cameo goal is rather dubious. Screenshots of the incident shared online during Liverpool’s Europa League clash with Sparta Prague certainly indicate it was, at the very least, a particularly tight call. We’re not quite sure if the VAR operators have based the lines on our Egyptian King or one of his teammates though. He looks, in our view, to be just about onside. Ah well. A 5-1 win it is in Prague, thanks to Dominik Szoboszlai’s late effort!

Manchester United legend Peter Schmeichel has weighed in on Liverpool’s chances of winning the Premier League title this season. He explained that Jurgen Klopp’s men have been poor at defending and that could hinder them from claiming the English crown. The Merseysiders currently lead the Premier League title race with 63 points from 27 games. They sit one point above second-placed Manchester City and two above third-placed Arsenal. The Reds have been tipped by many to go all the way this term but Peter Schmeichel isn’t convinced by their defending. The legendary goalkeeper expressed doubt about the Reds’ backline on…

Liverpool will have Mohamed Salah back available for their Europa League Round of 16 tie against Sparta Prague. Salah has played just two games for the Reds in 2024 having picked up a muscle injury at the Africa Cup of Nations in January. However, he’s now given Jürgen Klopp a welcome boost by traveling to the Czech Republic. Klopp provided an update on his star man ahead of the game and hinted he could have some involvement, although it’s highly unlikely it will be from the start as they manage him carefully ahead of Sunday’s huge Premier League game against…
