Liverpool now head to promoted Burnley for their traditional Boxing Day encounter on Tuesday evening. And here we look ahead to the changes Jurgen Klopp could make when his team are next in action. The injuries continue to pile up for the Reds, but a second game in 72 hours means there…
According to Spanish outlet Fichajes, Manchester United will face a four-way battle from fellow Premier League rivals Liverpool, Manchester City, and Arsenal to snare Brighton striker Evan Ferguson during next summer’s transfer window. Ferguson is part of the latest crop of Brighton stars picking up major interest from Premier League bigwigs. After managing 15 goals in 43 games for Brighton and having only recently turned 19 years of age, Ferguson is one of the hottest properties in the Premier League. The Republic of Ireland international has been a regular for the Seagulls this season, featuring 21 times across all competitions…
This comes courtesy of Sportitalia journalist Alfredo Pudella on his personal website, with the journalist claiming that the Reds were joined by Fulham in conducting exploratory efforts. Jurgen Klopp’s men will could be set to enter the market for a defender this winter as Kostas Tsimikas joined Joel Matip in the treatment room afteWhilst no disrespect is meant to Pudella, it’s hard to imagine Liverpool being seriously interested in the 26-year-old centre-half. FBref have recorded some rather impressive statistics from the Brazilian, it has to be conceded, with the player registering in the 97th percentile for pass completion and 93rd…
Our tipster Jones Knows has got you covered for the football feast on Boxing Day as he offers his insight across an exciting Premier League fixture list. Newcastle vs Nottingham Forest, Boxing Day 12.30pm Those that followed me in on Luton beating Newcastle 1-0 at 14/1 on Saturday, well played. But I must put down my trumpet and switch my view completely on Eddie Howe’s team now they are playing at home once again. It’s chalk and cheese form. The home crowd make such a massive difference to the intensity and bite of Newcastle’s performances. They’ve won their last seven…
The Reds were held to a 1-1 draw against Arsenal at Anfield, with Mo Salah firing in a 29th minute equaliser after Gabriel scored the opener early in the game. But it was yet another game marred with controversy as decisions went against the home side. Odegaard handled the ball like a basketball as Salah tried to take the ball around him. The Liverpool players immediately appealed for handball but to everyone’s surprise referee Chris Kavanagh waved their claims and away and VAR official David Coote agreed with his decision as well. Arsenal man of the match William Saliba admitted in…
Liverpool travel to Burnley on Boxing Day hoping for good news on Luis Diaz’s injury. The Colombian winger came off in the draw with Arsenal after a blow to his knee, which the player described to Jurgen Klopp as a “little pain” at the time. The Liverpool boss said post-match: “The physios were not too concerned, but you never know and we play in three days, so we have to see.” Darwin Nunez is ready and waiting to join the attack if Diaz is not fit, although the Uruguayan may be preferred over Cody Gakpo anyway with neither player in much form of late. Kostas…
Mohamed Salah has warned his Liverpool team-mates they can ill-afford to drop many more points in the Premier League title race despite being hot on the heels of leaders Arsenal. Salah scored Liverpool’s equaliser in Saturday’s barnstorming clash at Anfield between the two sides after Gabriel’s opener, and the hosts could have won it had Trent Alexander-Arnold’s strike been a few inches lower after the Reds star clattered the crossbar. While a draw was not the worst result for Jurgen Klopp’s side after trailing Mikel Arteta’s men, it does mean Liverpool have now dropped four points in their last two games, following the…
Liverpool will have two players walking a disciplinary tightrope when they take on Burnley on Boxing Day. Wataru Endo picked up a fourth Premier League booking of the campaign in the 1-1 home draw against Arsenal on Saturday to move within one more yellow card of a suspension. Darwin Nunezput himself in a similar situation when he reached the same number of cautions during the dismal goalless draw with Manchester United at Anfield the previous weekend. However, the trip to Turf Moor represents the final game before the disciplinary amnesty in the Premier League, which is introduced after a team’s…
If Liverpool’s physios are working for double pay over the Christmas period, the club will be hit with quite the bill to pay out in the New Year. At the moment, it would represent quite the achievement for Jurgen Klopp to simply get through 90 minutes without seeing another one of his players succumb to an injury of some sort. Since the international break ended in late November, Klopp has seen the likes of Alisson Becker, Joel Matip, Diogo Jota, Alexis Mac Allister and Ryan Gravenberch pull up with various problems during matches and Kostas Tsimikas and Luis Diaz were…
The Reds grabbed a share of the spoils against Arsenal in their final game before Christmas, but will barely have had time to digest their dinner before they look to dampen the spirit of Vincent Kompany’s Burnley. Jurgen Klopp has a couple of new injury problems to overcome, with Kostas Tsimikas out with a broken collarbone and Luis Diaz doubtful with a knee problem, and he may rotate in a couple of other areas with the fixture list busier than ever for Liverpool. Here’s how the German may set up his side. Liverpool predicted lineup vs Burnley (4-3-3) GK: Alisson…
