League leaders Liverpool are then set to travel to the Emirates Stadium to take on Arsenal in crucial top of the table Premier League clash on Sunday.

The next Liverpool manager could be one of the Reds’ 2005 Champions League-winning midfielders – but while Xabi Alonso remains the hot favourite, the Spaniard has already tipped one of his former Anfield team-mates to succeed Jurgen Klopp. Nicknamed the ‘midfield maestro’ during his time on Merseyside, Alonso was one of Rafa Benitez’s first singings in 2004 and went on to become a hugely popular player with the club’s supporters thanks to his passing range, cool presence and eye for the spectacular. After leaving the Reds as a Champions League winner in 2009 he went on to greater success with…
Former Liverpool manager Rafael Benitez has spoken out on Jurgen Klopp’s decision to leave Anfield at the end of the season and has suggested he has some inside information on the real reason the German tactician will be moving on. Benitez is another of Liverpool’s most successful managers of recent times, having won the Champions League in 2005, as well as the FA Cup a year later, though Klopp has clearly eclipsed him now with some truly outstanding work since taking over back in 2015. Klopp will leave Liverpool as a Champions League winner, Premier League winner, and with other…

There have been rumours about Pep Lijnders getting the top job at Anfield for a long time, but speaking on The RedMen TV, Neil Jones has quickly put those to bed. Jones says that there’s no way Lijnders gets the job after his departure was announced, and he also says that the Dutchman was never actually in the frame for the job. Lijnders never an option Jones…
West Ham‘s technical director, Tim Steidten, is said to be among the leading candidates to take the soon-to-be-vacated sporting director position at Liverpool FC. This Is Anfield understands that Steidten held discussions with Liverpool last year, before he moved to West Ham and Jorge Schmadtke joined the Reds. It is thought that the scope of the job at that time, including the need to effectively work under Jurgen Klopp rather than at the head of any sporting structure, did not appeal. Now, Liverpool have plenty of recruitment work to do following the announcement that Klopp and his backroom staff will be leaving…

Liverpool drew the reverse fixture, while Manchester City, Tottenham and Arsenal have all dropped points against Chelsea as well. But Jürgen Klopp will be more determined than ever to end a tedious sequence of draws against the Blues. With a…
