Liverpool are back in Europa League action this midweek, as Toulouse rock up at Anfield. The Reds have started their European campaign in perfect fashion, with two wins from two. At home against the Ligue 1 side, they’ll be expected to make that three from three. Here’s the XI we expect to see Jurgen Klopp put out, in a heavily rotated side. After Alisson Becker filled in last time out, Caoimhin Kelleher will return in goal having seemingly recovered from injury. In-front of the Irishman looks set to be an unfamiliar back four, with a mix of youth and experience required for the Reds.…
Teenage midfielder Trey Nyoni trained with Liverpool’s first-team ahead of their Europa League game against Toulouse on Thursday. Nyoni, 16, is a highly-rated young prospect who has featured for various England age-group teams and has starred for the Reds’ U18s side so far this season. He has scored in each of Liverpool’s last three U18 Premier League games and has now been rewarded with a chance to train alongside the likes of Mohamed Salah and Virgil van Dijk. However, he will not be able to feature against Toulouse having not been named in Liverpool’s Europa League squad last month. Players…

Manchester City and Liverpool are on a collision course to do battle over the potential mid-season signing of Chelsea full-back Ian Maatsen. That’s according to a recent report from TeamTALK, who claims the Blues’ defender is a strong candidate to leave Stamford Bridge in January. Maatsen, 21, has less than two years left on his deal, and despite the club offering him the chance to extend his stay in London, the Netherlands international has so far snubbed negotiations. Of course, failure to have him commit to a new deal will see Chelsea forced into offloading him. And judging by these…
Liverpool are the latest Premier League club showing an interest in signing Chelsea’s Conor Gallagher. That is according to well-respected journalist Simon Phillips. Simon Phillips has reported via his Substack on Wednesday afternoon that Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool are showing an interest in Gallagher. It is understood that Chelsea will begin speaking very soon with their 23-year-old midfielder to discuss a contract extension, but offers from interested clubs may begin to flood in just as quickly.

Speaking to the press, the Anfield boss revealed that the Dutch international is fully fit having missed the last few games out through an injury picked up in Liverpool’s 2-1 loss to Tottenham.

That’s good as well.” Lauded as ‘special’ by Liverpool’s official website, Gakpo has been a notable absentee from Liverpool’s squad in recent Premier League…
Jurgen Klopp has warned his Liverpool team not to take Thursday night’s opponents Toulouse lightly. The Reds host the French side at Anfield in the Europa League and a shock win would send the visitors top of Group E. Despite looking to challenge for the Premier League title this season, Klopp has confirmed his desire to take the competition seriously. That has so far proven to be the case, albeit the group stage perhaps affords more chance to rotate. Klopp’s hopes of securing safe passage into the knockout rounds have been given a boost with Cody Gakpo’s return to training. The Dutchman suffered a…
Jurgen Klopp watched over four potential left-back options as Liverpool put the finishing touches on their preparations for Toulouse’s visit, but Ben Doak was not among the squad. The Reds will have Cody Gakpo back in their midst when the third Europa League group game gets underway, with the Dutchman having returned to full training on Sunday. The forward was one of 21 outfielders to train at Kirkby on Wednesday afternoon, not long after Klopp confirmed the No. 18 is “available for the squad.” We will still have to wait and see if he will start, though. Klopp did hint he would be…
Andre Onana feels Manchester United can take strength from the way in which we overcame FC Copenhagen at Old Trafford on Tuesday. The Reds claimed a first victory in this season’s UEFA Champions League, courtesy of Harry Maguire’s second-half goal, but the points were only secured by Onana’s superb penalty save from Jordan Larsson in injury time. Erik ten Hag’s side were much improved in the second half and deserved what was a third win in a row in all competitions, a run that gives Onana confidence ahead of the coming games, starting with Sunday’s Manchester derby against City. “It…
