Nottingham Forest manager Nuno Espirito Santo believes former Liverpool cult hero Divock Origi could make a difference against his former side when Tricky Trees host Liverpool this weekend in the Premier League. Origi was beloved at Anfield for his tendency to score clinical goals during his time at the club. Origi was at Liverpool for the better part of eight years, amid various loan spells in Ligue 1 and the Bundesliga, and is best remembered for his pair of goals in the 4-0 win against Barcelona in the 2019 Champions League semi-final second leg that secured the club’s passage to…
If you’d told Mohamed Salah when he set off for the African Cup of Nations that he would not play for Liverpool again until February 17, he’d probably have been thrilled. It would have suggested an extended run for Egypt at the tournament. The reality, unfortunately, was far less exciting. Despite representing the most successful nation in the history of the tournament, Salah is yet to win AFCON, and didn’t even get close on this occasion. He returned to Liverpool after picking up an injury in the group stages, and his team fell at the first knockout hurdle on penalties…
Virgil van Dijk has already revealed his honest thoughts on Caoimhin Kelleher, who is set to play a huge role for Liverpool and Jurgen Klopp in the Premier League title-race run-in.

Despite the many setbacks, Liverpool dug deep and found a way past the blue billion-pound bottlejobs. Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp was forced to field academy kids but their captain led them to victory. Salah has…
Liverpool are set to face Nottingham Forest later today, with both sides desperate to pick up points. It will be the fifth time Reds boss Jurgen Klopp has faced Forest, with Liverpool winning three of their four previous meetings and losing one. The first clash came back in 2022 when Liverpool made the trip to the City Ground for an FA Cup quarter-final match while Forest were still in the Championship. And Klopp ended up causing some controversy with his pre-match comments, which were construed as disrespectful by some. “I would prefer to have the boys together for two weeks…
Darwin Nunez and Dominik Szoboszlai returned to training this week but Mohamed Salah is set to miss Liverpool’s trip to Nottingham Forest. Wataru Endo, Andy Robertson and Alexis Mac Allister will also face their respective races to be fit for the Premier League encounter. Endo left Wembley Stadium with a protective boot after Sunday’s 1-0 Carabao Cup final over Chelsea but appears to have shaken off an injury concern, Robertson and Mac Allister have had their preparations hampered through illness. Salah will miss Saturday’s clash against Nuno Espirito Santo’s side as he recovers from the issue he picked up in…
Liverpool have enjoyed years of success under Jurgen Klopp, and it’ll be a sad day when he departs Anfield at the end of the season. From the ‘heavy metal football’ Klopp has championed at Liverpool, to the amazing academy pathway, things have really been great at Anfield in recent years. And that’s before getting on the multitude of trophies the Reds have won since he took the reins back in 2015, including the Premier League and the Champions League. There have been some outstanding signings during that time. One thing Klopp has been great at doing is ensuring continuity within…
Liverpool striker Darwin Núñez is really starting to produce the kind of performances that won him his move to Anfield in the summer of 2022. Núñez had starred for Benfica in their games against Liverpool in the Reds’ run to the 2022 Champions League final. The Uruguayan scored against Liverpool at Anfield and had several more disallowed in a tie Liverpool eventually won 6-4 on aggregate. Jürgen Klopp had seen enough and decided to sign the striker several months following the pair of games. Núñez struggled in his first season in England, tending to fluctuate between brilliance and frustration. One…
Spirits are soaring high as Liverpool set their sights on more trophies following their inspiring Carabao Cup triumph.

Footage of Liverpool captain Virgil Van Dijk motivating his teammates ahead of their FA Cup clash with Southampton has gone viral. The defender was the hero as he scored a last-minute winner in extra time to defeat Chelsea in the Carabao Cup final last Sunday and followed that up with another clean sheet on Wednesday night. Going into the tie against the Saints, Jurgen Klopp’s men had their backs against the walls. Key players such as Allison, Trent Alexander-Arnold, Dominik Szoboszlai and Mo Salah were all unavailable. This meant many youngsters from the youth team were promoted for what was…
