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. We will continue to work with fellow clubs through the ECA and participate in UEFA competitions.

Pundit Chris Sutton has now been sharing his thoughts ahead of Liverpool and Arsenal’s vital meeting in the Premier League this weekend. It’s not very often that a ‘title-decider’ doesn’t involve Manchester City, in fact, it’s hard to even remember a time. But with Pep Guardiola’s side away at the Club World Cup in Saudi Arabia, there’s a chance for Arsenal or Liverpool to create an intimidating lead at the top. Arsenal are currently five points ahead of Man City, with Liverpool just one point behind the league leaders. And ahead of this duel between Jurgen Klopp and Mikel Arteta, Chris Sutton was giving his prediction on…

An excellent midweek win sets the stage for Liverpool’s top of the table clash against Arsenal on Saturday evening. The Reds ran over West Ham 5-1 to make it into the semi-finals of the Carabao Cup. Next they’ll be welcoming Arsenal to Anfield to battle for the top of the table. Liverpool are only one point behind the league leaders, and a win on Saturday would catapult them back into the top spot. They’d already jockeyed their way there a few weeks ago, but a disappointing draw against Manchester United put them once again on the back foot. Virgil van Dijk has…

Arsenal will face Liverpool at Anfield with plenty of confidence as they look to extend their lead at the top of the Premier League table. The Gunners arguably have their best chance of beating the Reds on their home patch in the last 10 years. There are two key reasons behind this. Declan Rice and William Saliba. Arsenal will head into the game just a single point ahead of Jurgen Klopp’s side when the two sides meet on Saturday afternoon. The Gunners will be much fresher than the Reds having had a full week to prepare for the fixture. Meanwhile,…

Liverpool will be looking to return to winning ways when West Ham United make the trip to Anfield this evening for a Carabao Cup quarter-final tie. The Reds were held to a disappointing 0-0 draw with rivals Manchester United on Sunday afternoon, Jurgen Klopp’s side unable to find a way past their defensive-minded opponents. Attention now turns to tonight’s fresh challenge as Liverpool look to make their way to the final four of the Carabao Cup – a competition won by the club during the 2021/22 season. Some key names will be missing for Klopp ahead of this evening’s tie, with Ryan…

Liverpool are coming into the EFL Cup quarter-finals against West Ham United on the back of two disappointing performances. They failed to beat Union Saint-Gillois and Manchester United in their last two outings. So, the home fans will be expecting a strong reaction from the players here. Meanwhile, West Ham United are in impressive form right now, and they have picked up two comprehensive wins in their last couple of matches after a thrashing against Fulham. David Moyes will want his men to pull off an upset at Anfield, and it remains to be seen whether the Hammers can book…

Liverpool FC writer Neil Jones has admitted that summer signing Wataru Endo is a level or two below Chelsea midfielder Moises Caicedo in that area of the pitch. Jones, speaking exclusively to CaughtOffside for his Daily Briefing column, took a look back at Caicedo ultimately snubbing Liverpool to join Chelsea in the summer, even though at one point it looked like he could be making the move from Brighton to Anfield. The Ecuador international looked superb at Brighton and is starting to settle at Stamford Bridge now as well, so one imagines many Liverpool fans would gladly have taken him over someone…

Five years ago this weekend a trip to Anfield signalled the end of Jose Mourinho’s Manchester United reign. The special one was no longer so special. He’d delivered the Europa League and the Carabao Cup but things had turned. The squad was short on quality and looked a little lost. Paul Pogba was a frustrated figure consigned to the role of unused sub and United were overpowered by a fierce Liverpool start and despite hauling themselves level, shipped two late goals to lose 3-1. The 2018 points gap between the oldest of rivals stood at 19, this year it will…

ERIK TEN HAG takes his struggling Manchester United squad to Liverpool knowing it could be the beginning of the end. Because history shows any ailing United boss all but has their fate sealed by their Northern rivals. In 2014, David Moyes’ United were hammered 3-0 at Old Trafford thanks to goals from Steven Gerrard and Luis Suarez. Just a month later, Moyes was fired. His permanent replacement Louis van Gaal found himself in similar bother just two years later. Daniel Sturridge and Roberto Firmino condemned the Red Devils to defeat at Anfield in the first leg of their Europa League…

The 7-0 defeat was meant to be Manchester United’s lowest ebb, but United return to Anfield on Sunday in yet another crisis after crashing out of Europe on Tuesday with a whimper and losing to Bournemouth at Old Trafford last weekend. Meanwhile, Liverpool are buoyant. Jurgen Klopp’s side head into the weekend top of the table, arguably ahead of schedule – given their extensive midfield reboot in the summer, but with growing hopes of a title challenge. It’s easy to forget the Reds finished eight points behind United last season. What’s happened? The problems at Old Trafford are too numerous…
