A supercomputer prediction for Sunday’s Manchester derby at Old Trafford has installed City as the favourites to scoop all three points and the local bragging rights. United and City will go toe-to-toe for the first time this season, with the sides currently separated by six points in the latter’s favour in the table. City, at the time of writing, are second in the standings on 21 points, whereas United are eighth on 15 points. Both sides, however, will head into the contest with back-to-back wins under their belts following the recent restart after the international break. United built on last…
Liverpool want to come back to being a serious contender in the Premier League and it seems that this year Jurgen Klopp’s men could be a real menace for Manchester City and Arsenal. The Reds have had a good start to the new season, with six wins, two draws, and one defeat, and are the third-best team in the standings, only one point behind leaders City. Nottingham Forest, in contrast, are sitting 15th with 10 points, having shared the spoils in their last three games and weren’t able to win in their last five. What time does Liverpool vs Nottingham…
Liverpool and Everton share a historic rivalry that goes back generations. The two clubs are less than a mile apart and for many years there had been talks about the two clubs collaborating on a new stadium project. Anfield and Goodison Park are both historic stadiums, but as the years went by it was evident that both needed serious upgrades. Both Liverpool and Everton explored all possibilities of renovating, expanding or ultimately building new arenas. Getting enough funding together for these projects proved to be the biggest barrier, and that led to talks about the possibility of groundshares or collaborations.…
Sir Kenny Dalglish and Jürgen Klopp today signed a book of condolence in memory of Sir Bobby Charlton, who passed away last weekend. The Manchester United legend and 1966 World Cup winner with England died peacefully surrounded by his loved ones on Saturday morning. As a mark of respect, Sir Kenny visited Old Trafford on Friday where he laid a wreath on behalf of Liverpool Football Club and signed the book of condolence. Meanwhile, Klopp also paid his respects to the memory of Sir Bobby by signing a page of the book of tributes. A minute’s applause will be held…
Liverpool ended their winless run with a win in the Merseyside Derby, and they will look to close in on the league leaders Tottenham Hotspur with a victory over Nottingham Forest on Sunday afternoon. The Reds are currently fourth in the table, and a win here would boost their confidence. They picked up a 5-1 win over Toulouse in the UEFA Europa League during the midweek, and they will be reasonably confident of grinding out a positive result here. Meanwhile, Nottingham Forest are 15th in the league table, and they are winless in the last five league matches. They will…
Liverpool has a chance to continue momentum on Sunday as Jürgen Klopp prepares for another Anfield clash. This time, it’s Nottingham Forest coming to town. Three points over Everton last time out in the league means the Reds are in touching distance in the title race. But it will need a victory to keep pressure on Spurs, who secured a 2-1 win over Crystal Palace on Friday without being at their best. On current form, it’s a favorable match for Liverpool, with Klopp having eased the squad back to producing its best, while there has also been a significant improvement…
Liverpool target Andre Trindade has revealed that he turned down an ‘irrefutable’ offer from a top European club earlier this summer to stay at Fluminese. The one-cap Brazil international was heavily linked with a move to Anfield, but a transfer never came to fruition, with Liverpool signing Wataru Endo, Dominik Szoboszlai, Alexis Mac Allister and Ryan Gravenberch to revitalize their engine room. Speaking about his future in an interview ahead of Fluminese’s Copa Libertadores final against Argentinian side Boca Juniors, Andre admitted that he decided to snub a potential summer transfer because he had given his word to his manager…
In a clear jab at Manchester United, Pep Guardiola insists it is Liverpool – and nobody else – who have been Manchester City’s rivals during his tenure. And the Spaniard has warned Erik ten Hag just how high the level of competition is at the top as the United boss looks for a derby day win to truly kickstart their season. The Red Devils have suffered a stuttering start and despite winning their last three matches, the circumstances of those victories have been questioned. United were reliant on a stoppage-time turnaround against Brentford, a late Diogo Dalot winner at Sheffield…
Curtis Jones struck just the right note in the Liverpool press conference ahead of the match against Toulouse. He has been forced to watch others make a strong case for his position while he serves his harsh red card suspension, and he acknowledged the competition in the midfield. With the suspension only applying domestically, Jones was able to start against the French side, but even then it was Ryan Gravenberch who stole the show. He will certainly be a growing worry to the Liverpool academy graduate. But Jones stressed that everyone will get chances. Moreover, everyone can learn and improve off each…
Fluminense midfielder Andre has confirmed an offer from a “big European club,” known to be Liverpool, which he turned down in favour of a January switch. Andre, the 22-year-old Brazil international, was subject of an enquiry from Liverpool during the summer transfer window. It was even claimed that the Reds had made an offer worth around £25.6 million for the tenacious midfielder, which was rejected, with Fluminense unwilling to sell mid-season. Their campaign runs through the calendar year, and the decision was made for Andre to stay and help a push for the Copa Libertadores, which now sees them in…
