Jurgen Klopp claims “tackling is a hobby” for Wataru Endo and says the Japan skipper just needed time to settle in at Liverpool. Endo, 30, who cost £16.2million from Stuttgart in August, has started Liverpool’s last five games to establish himself in their midfield holding role. Klopp was always confident he would bed in at Liverpool and says he needed time like Andy Robertson and Fabinho. “We don’t give people time anymore,” said the Liverpool boss. “Some of the biggest players in my time needed time to adapt. Andy Robertson didn’t play half a year, pretty much he was not in the…
The Reds are faced with their biggest evening of the season so far on Saturday as the top two go head-to-head with plenty at stake just two days before Christmas. Mikel Arteta’s side are in impressive form and look like contenders for the second season in a row, but fell short at a rowdy Anfield last season and Jurgen Klopp will be hoping for a repeat on this occasion. Let’s take a look at the 10 main things you need to be on top of ahead of Liverpool vs. Arsenal. 1. Team news The boss confirmed that both Alexis Mac Allister and Diogo Jota remain absent for…
Jurgen Klopp has a few decisions to make in terms of team selection for the game against Arsenal this evening. The Reds boss confirmed in his press conference yesterday that Ryan Gravenebrch is back, but Alexis Mac Allister has been ruled out of the game today. Gravenberch is a fantastic player, and many Liverpool fans would want him to start alongside Wataru Endo and Dominik Szoboszlai in the middle of the park against Arsenal. Janusz Michallik, however, believes Curtis Jones has to start in midfield today because of his Man of the Match performance against West Ham United in the Carabao Cup earlier this week. He also claimed…
Darwin Nunez looks set to continue up front for Liverpool in today’s Premier League title clash with Arsenal. Although the Uruguayan failed to score for the 11th game in a row as the Reds smashed West Ham in the Carabao Cup quarter-finals on Wednesday night, Jurgen Klopp insisted that any narrative over the striker’s place in the team is false. He told reporters: “I think in the moment we’re second in the league, which is not that bad, but because we have to talk every day about us, you make stories up and all of a sudden from everything is…
This season, manager’s Premier League starting lineups have been largely influenced by who has played in the preceding midweek fixture. The match against Arsenal should be no different with Liverpool likely to make at least four changes to the League Cup XI. Here’s how Liverpool could line up. Team news Here’s what Klopp revealed in his press conference: Saturday’s selection is made far easier by looking at the team that started against West Ham on Wednesday. We can expect key names, such as Mo Salah, Trent Alexander-Arnold and Alisson, to come back back in, as Caoimhin Kelleher, Joe Gomez and Harvey Elliott drop out. The big decisions come on the left, with Curtis Jones and Gravenberch vying…
Jurgen Klopp has provided a Liverpool injury update ahead of tomorrow’s Premier League top-of-the-table clash against Arsenal at Anfield (17.30 GMT). The Reds have the chance to move to the summit of the table should they earn a victory over the Gunners. Ryan Gravenberch missed the 5-1 Carabao Cup victory over West Ham United earlier this week because of muscle fatigue, having limped off in the 0-0 draw against Manchester United. He will be back available for the visit of Arsenal, though, to boost Klopp’s squad. Diogo Jota has been absent for the past seven games because of a hamstring problem.…
Jarell Quansah is the most recent Liverpool star to sign a ‘car clause’ in his contract – something all young players at the club are required to do. The 20-year-old central defender has enjoyed a breakthrough season at Anfield, having made 14 appearances across all competitions for Liverpool so far this term. However, the club are doing all they can to ensure Quansah’s feet remain firmly on the ground if this contract clause is anything to go by. As revealed by club academy director Alex Inglethorpe, Liverpool have implemented a strict policy that forbids the younger players in and around the…
Liverpool have broken their silence and are the final Premier League ‘Big Six’ side to reject participation in the newly proposed version of the European Super League. A statement on the club’s official website, read: ‘Yesterday’s ruling by the European Court of Justice does not change Liverpool FC’s previous stance on a proposed European Super League. ‘Our involvement has been discontinued.
