Liverpool maintained their 100% record in the Europa League with a convincing 5-1 victory over Toulouse on Thursday night. Jurgen Klopp’s prediction that Liverpool would not “fly” through the Europa League group stage amounts to their only mis-step so far. Qualification for the knockout phase is already close at hand with the procession continuing against Toulouse. Klopp could ring the changes before Nottingham Forest’s Premier League visit on Sunday, give a full debut to 19-year-old left-back Luke Chambers, first Liverpool outings to Calum Scanlon and James McConnell, and still enjoy a fluent, dominant display. It was polished by goals from…

The midfielder scored Liverpool’s fourth goal with 25 minutes to go after Darwin Nunez’s comical miss. Asked about Gravenberch, Klopp told TNT Sports: “I’m so happy for him that he starts really enjoying his football again. His first touch is incredible, his acceleration with the ball.…

Bundesliga top scorer Serhou Guirassy was watching Liverpool last night, as they beat Toulouse 5-1. Guirassy has been one of the stories of the season in European football. Having played just eight games in the German top division, the 27-year-old has scored 14 times. Remarkable. Guirassy loving Endo goal We can laugh at Guriassy suggesting Endo is his goal scoring hero, but the truth is that the Japan captain actually has a decent scoring record. He might not have the look of a player who will get many goals, and he isn’t exactly Erling Haaland. But perhaps we can expect…
Gravenberch has not been involved for the Netherlands since his £38.5 million move to Liverpool at the end of the summer transfer window. Having left Bayern Munich on deadline day, the 21-year-old turned down a call-up for the U21s to focus on settling at his new club and find his feet in a new country. That angered the Dutch FA, including senior manager Ronald Koeman and U21s counterpart Michael Reiziger, with it confirmed that he was dropped for October internationals as punishment. “It was not an option to call him up now. The signal has now been sent to him,” Reiziger explained.…

Tottenham have had their fair share of good performers this season and Cristian Romero is right up there in terms of quality. The Argentinian centre-back has been a colossus at the back for the Tottenham and is proving to be quite the signing after his £50m+ move from Atalanta. Of course, Romero’s exploits haven’t gone unnoticed either and a number of pundits and fellow players have been singing his praises this season. And former Spurs defender Steven Caulker is the latest to offer up his praise on the defender. And he reserved special praise for Romero. “I don’t think Lionel Messi picks you out as the world’s best…

Tottenham Hotspur are the runaway leaders of the Premier League. It’s a sentence you don’t hear too often, if ever, but a victory for Ange Postecoglou’s team at Crystal Palace on Friday will take Spurs five points clear of the chasing pack, for one day at least, and raise the prospect of the club “doing a Leicester” this season. No title winners will ever be more unexpected than Claudio Ranieri’s Leicester City who, after narrowly avoiding relegation in the 2014-15 season, defied preseason odds of 5000-1 to win the Premier League in 2015-16. It was a story for the ages and no outsiders have come…
