Mauricio Pochettino has explained why Nicolas Jackson is so important to Chelsea, as the club do their best to get him on the pitch at Anfield. The 22-year-old striker hopes to return from the Africa Cup of Nations in time to face Liverpool, after his Senegal team were knocked out by hosts Ivory Coast on Monday night. Pochettino discussed the possibility of putting Jackson straight back into the starting lineup for Chelsea, even if it is after a 10-hour journey from West Africa. “We are seeing [if it is possible],” Pochettino said. “Maybe it will happen. If it means we have a one percent…

Liverpool will take on Chelsea in February’s Carabao Cup final, but Joe Cole believes victory over the same opponents in the league on Wednesday is more important for Jurgen Klopp ’s side. Cole, who joined Liverpool from Chelsea in 2010, watched the Reds end a 30-year title hoodoo in 2020, but also come painfully close to titles in 2019 and 2022. This season, Klopp’s men hold a lead over holders Manchester City to protect as he looks to end his reign with a second Premier League crown. And the Reds are still fighting on four fronts, after making progress in the FA Cup and Europa League…

Naturally, the Celta Vigo manager was asked about the news that this season will be Klopp’s last on Merseyside, and he delivered a response that intrigued supporters. “I have an advantage and that is that I have people in Liverpool, and people at Liverpool. So I know more or less how it happened,” the…
