Liverpool Lose Anfield Streak In Burnley League defeat
Liverpool's 68 game home Premier League unbeaten record at Anfield was ended by Burnley in a 1-0 defeat.
A controversial late penalty from Ashley Barnes gave the Clarets the three points and condemned the Reds to their first league reversal at home since April 2017.

Will this be Liverpool's starting lineup to play Burnley tonight at Anfield?
Liverpool and Burnley meet tonight in a Premier League clash at Anfield. We've had a look at the starting eleven Jürgen Klopp might opt for.
The Reds have now gone four league games without a win and they have failed to find the net in their last three matches.

Speaking at his pre-match press …
Tactical Breakdown: Liverpool 0-0 Manchester United
When Manchester United travel to Anfield, it's usually a big affair. It was even bigger an occasion than usual because on Sunday they travelled not just to Anfield, but to Anfield, the home of the Premier League Champions, for the first time in thirty years. Their players were spared the taunts that would likely have filled their eardrums from the first minute to the very last. In both that regard and the scoreline, they can consider themselves fortunate.

Colossal Fabinho standing tall while other Liverpool stars fade
When Marcus Rashford burst clear in Sunday's 0-0 draw with Man United, every Liverpool supporter on the planet must have feared the worst.
The England striker is renowned for his blistering pace, and as he sprinted through on goal, the Reds' long unbeaten home run felt like it could go up in smoke, against the worst possible opponents.
From nowhere, though, the marauding Fabinho appeared to save the day, racing back to thwart Rashford, muscling him off the ball and …

What's in store for Liverpool in the remainder of the 2020/21 season?
Many Liverpool fans may have given up hope of any success in 2020/21 after watching Everton's Jordan Pickford end Virgil van Dijk's season with a horror challenge at Goodison Park. Of course, as refereeing has gone for The Reds this season, the Everton goalkeeper didn't even receive a yellow card for the tackle.
Just weeks later, Jürgen Klopp's other first-choice centre-half, Joe Gomez, was seriously injured at the England training camp. Gomez would also miss the most-part of Liverpool's season …

Big Man Centre Forward: The Next Step In Liverpool's Evolution
The attacking trident of Mohamed Salah, Roberto Firmino, and Sadio Mane has served Liverpool extremely well over the course of the last four years.
But now, after umpteen defences burned and English and Champions League medals in their back pockets, the time feels right to break up the forward threesome.
The Reds have now drawn a blank in three consecutive Premier League games and their attack has been culpable for this toothlessness. In times gone by, any responsibility for the …
Klopp "really happy" with Xherdan Shaqiri's performance in United stalemate
Liverpool boss Jürgen Klopp was singing the praises of Xherdan Shaqiri after giving the player a surprise starting role against Manchester United.
It was Shaqiri's first Premier League start of the season and the Switzerland international impressed, as he tried to provide a more effective link between Liverpool's midfield and attack.

Why Liverpool Shouldn't Sign Ben White
After the injuries to Virgil van Dijk and Joe Gomez, it was inevitable that the names of several centre-halves would be bandied about and linked to Liverpool.
Sven Botman, David Carmo, Dayot Upamecano and Ibrahim Konate have all been suggested as antidote's to the Reds' personnel shortage in the heart of their defence. Perhaps the name most regularly circulated in the media, though, is that of Brighton and Hove Albion's Ben White.
According to reports in the Liverpool Echo, the …
