While 2023 may have been a less eventful year in the history of Chelsea in comparison to 2022, it certainly could not be called quiet. The Blues have seen four different figures in the Stamford Bridge dugout and have a brand new squad as they enter 2024 with Mauricio Pochettino. Chelsea wasted little time in making an impact 12 months ago as they landed the likes of Noni Madueke, Mykhailo Mudryk, Benoit Badiashile and others, before splashing out more than £100million on Enzo Fernandez. Of course, that was not to be the only time Chelsea completed a nine-figure transfer. Midtable mediocrity has been the order of…
The January transfer window will open in just a few hours. When midnight comes in the UK (4pm on the west coast of the US and 7pm on the east coast), Premier League sides will be officially able to make more transfers. Liverpool manager Jürgen Klopp went out of his way to explain why that was unlikely at the start of the month, though Kostas Tsimikas has since been struck down with a broken collarbone. That leaves a lot of work for Joe Gomez to get through at left-back, and Jarell Quansah as the only covering player in the center…
Liverpool’s Egyptian King has gone from strength to strength and proven himself as important as ever to Jurgen Klopp’s team, despite being the wrong side of 30 and persistent noise about Saudi Arabia. Earlier this year he hit 200 goals for Liverpool and 150 in the Premier League. At the halfway stage of the 2023/24 Premier League season, Salah has 12 goals (only Erling Haaland has more) and seven assists (only Ollie Watkins has more) – with no top-flight player registering more combined goal involvements than the winger’s 19. Over the course of 2023 as a whole, it’s even more impressive…
Liverpool have wasted no time in putting their January transfer plans into action in the week building up to meeting Arsenal in the FA Cup. The Premier League’s top two drew each other in the third round of the competition last month will now face off three times in just eight weeks. It was just over a week ago that they drew 1-1 at Anfield in an electric match at Anfield, a game that the Gunners were perhaps fortunate to take anything away from despite getting an early lead. They will now face off in north London for a place…
Jürgen Klopp, the boss of Liverpool, has a plan to deal with Mohamed Salah’s absence. He believes Darwin Núñez and Diogo Jota have got their scoring touch back just in time as Salah leaves for AFCON. Klopp is pleased that Núñez broke his 12-game goal drought at Burnley on Boxing Day, where Jota also scored within seven minutes of returning from injury. He thinks Núñez and Jota, along with Luis Díaz and Cody Gakpo, can fill the big gap left by top scorer Salah. Klopp said: “Yes, absolutely, it’s great timing,” and added, “And it’s good as well that we played the West Ham…
The Reds are currently on top of the Premier League table and they could go three points clear of Aston Villa if they beat Newcastle United at Anfield tonight. A defender is high on the list of Liverpool’s agenda with Goncalo Inacio and Antonio Silva reportedly being eyed by the Premier League club. Spanish outlet AS has now reported that Liverpool have made a move for Bayern Munich star Joshua Kimmich. The report states that Liverpool will now go head to head with Manchester United for the signature of the German midfielder. Kimmich’s contract at Bayern expires in 2025 and…
Liverpool will look to extend its advantage at the top of the table to five points today. The gap isn’t quite as big as it seems, with Manchester City still needing to play its game in hand at some point after the Brentford match was postponed due to Club World Cup commitments, but it would be a very healthy position in which to end New Year’s Day. In truth, Jürgen Klopp probably won’t be thinking about Liverpool’s rivals very much at all. But if he were, he would no doubt expect Manchester City to come back strongly in the second half of…
The Reds are no strangers to a January signing, with the likes of Luis Diaz, Cody Gakpo, Ben Davies, Ozan Kabak and Takumi Minamino either loaned or bought since 2020. With Jurgen Klopp‘s side firmly in the title discussion there will be calls for Liverpool to strengthen while they can, especially in defence after a number of injuries. The window officially opened on January 1 and the expectation is for a quiet one for the Reds on the incoming front, but what else could we see from the club? Any incomings? Rumours are never far away when it comes to Liverpool,…
This season’s Premier League title race is the closest since the 2001/02 campaign – with just three points separating Liverpool in first and Tottenham in fifth. But Jurgen Klopp’s side can open up a three-point gap on Aston Villa in second if they beat struggling Newcastle at Anfield on New Year’s Day. Liverpool fans are expecting a victory against the Magpies, who have lost four of their last five Premier League games. No team has managed to pull away from the pack so far this season. Liverpool and surprise package Aston Villa (both on 42 points) lead the title race,…
The Magpies will run out at Anfield, live on Sky Sports on Monday Night Football, without a win at the iconic stadium in the Premier League since April 1994, when Rob Lee and Andy Cole were their goalscorers, and having lost their last five home and away against Jurgen Klopp’s men. Newcastle came close to ending that run last season when they led through Alexander Isak’s debut goal with 29 minutes remaining, before Roberto Firmino’s equaliser set up substitute Fabio Carvalho to snatch victory for Liverpool in the eighth minute of stoppage time. Head coach Howe, whose side was also…
