Liverpool continues its quest for silverware at Craven Cottage on Wednesday night as Fulham stands in the way of a place in the Carabao Cup final at Wembley. Jürgen Klopp’s side won the first leg 2-1 but will have to be at their best to finish the job off. Victory would be the perfect start of a trophy push, with Liverpool remaining firmly in the mix in four competitions. Sunday’s win at Bournemouth extended the lead at the top to five points and made it 14 matches unbeaten. Manchester City do have a game in hand and the title race looks set…
Liverpool assistant Pep Lijnders sent a clear message to England boss Gareth Southgate : Get Curtis Jones in your squad. The Dutch coach heaped more praise on the midfielder who has been in superb form this season for the high-flying Reds. Jones, who turns 23 this month, has become a key component of Jurgen Klopp ’s rebuild at Anfield. The local lad has endured highs and lows since his debut for his club in 2019. But he – like Liverpool in hindsight – was on the way back at the end of last season when started the final 11 games and the Merseysiders…
Arthur Melo and Liverpool fans alike would no doubt like to forget about his spell on loan at Anfield. The Brazilian has gone down as one of the worst signings ever made by the Reds after a disastrous stint. Liverpool signed the former Barcelona star on a year-long deal to cover for a midfield department that was struggling with injury and form last season. Arthur though failed to make any impact, playing a grand total of 13 minutes for the Reds, all during one game in the Champions League. He spent much of the campaign out injured, and even when he…
Liverpool can take another big step toward a first piece of silverware this season tomorrow. The Reds will be aiming to book their place at Wembley as they face Fulham in the second leg of their Carabao Cup semi-final. Jürgen Klopp’s side holds a 2-1 aggregate lead following the win at Anfield two weeks ago, and will need just a draw to reach the final. It could prove to be just the first part of a special season, with Liverpool still in the hunt for four trophies. It will be a tough ask to take home all of those though, especially with injuries…
Liverpool are chasing a Champions League winner this January transfer window, as they make an enticing offer to a European rival. With Mohamed Salah injured for the next 21-28 days, Trent Alexander-Arnold struggling for fitness and Joel Matip out for the rest of the season – not to mention an array of midfielders absent – Jurgen Klopp has realised that new signings are needed for Liverpool to maintain their Premier League title push. Currently top of the Premier League, the Reds are also fighting on three other fronts, in the Europa League, FA Cup and League Cup, which will see them make full use of…
Liverpool may have a player ready to take up the “Steven Gerrard role” in Jurgen Klopp’s team – but his name is not Trent Alexander-Arnold. The Liverpool-born-and-bred right-back has long been touted to move from defence into midfield having played as a No. 6 in the academy under Klopp’s No 2 Pep Lijnders. Alexander-Arnold was Lijnders’ captain for the under-16s but he was remodelled as a right-back as the best means to break into the first team. Now the vice-captain of the seniors, the 25-year-old from West Derby is as pivotal a player as anyone to Klopp’s side and an…
Andy Robertson will travel to Craven Cottage for Liverpool’s Carabao Cup semi-final decider vs. Fulham, while there is good news on four others. The Reds head Craven Cottage on Wednesday night, having taken a 2-1 lead from the Anfield opener. They do so with their injury situation easing, with assistant manager Pepijn Lijnders confirming that Robertson will travel with the squad after shoulder surgery, while Curtis Jones has avoided a hamstring injury. “A big, big advantage to have him back. We were waiting for a long time – he’s one of our captains,” Lijnders told the club’s official website of Robertson’s return. “I just met him in the…
Liverpool have been badly stung by injuries this season, but that hasn’t prevented them from challenging on all fronts. The Reds currently sit five points clear at the top of the Premier League table, while they boast a 2-1 lead over Fulham in the League Cup semi-finals ahead of Wednesday’s second leg at Craven Cottage. Hosting Norwich City in the FA Cup fourth round on Sunday, they’ll also return to Europa League action in March after securing their place in the round-of-16 last month. Ahead of facing the Cottagers, Pep Lijnders offered a bumper injury update, with a number of…
It’s believed that Chelsea will consider offers for their players this month because of continuing Financial Fair Play concerns, and Liverpool have now been given an answer after their pursuit of one highly-rated Blues ace. Todd Boehly’s largesse hasn’t been without consequence for the West Londoners, last summer’s fire sale of players perhaps being the best evidence of that. It would seem that the club still aren’t out of the woods yet, hence why there may have been suggestions that they were willing to cash in on current club captain, Conor Gallagher. Jurgen Klopp has, apparently, been interested in another…
Paul Merson has issued a warning to Liverpool and insisted that the next two games could make or break the Reds’ Premier League title chances. Liverpool went five points clear at the top with a thumping 4-0 win over Bournemouth on Sunday. Liverpool capitalized on a host of its title rivals not being in action to extend its lead, although Manchester City has a game in hand. Next up are matches in two cup competitions, against Fulham and Norwich, before a crucial double-header. The Reds face Chelsea at Anfield on January 31 and that is followed by a trip to the Emirates to…
