Reds duo could be losing race to be fit for United clash on Sunday

The Liverpool duo of Joël Matip and Naby Keïta may miss out on Sunday's top-of-the-table Premier League clash with Manchester United. Jürgen Klopp's defensive injury woes look set to continue with Matip missing since going off after an hour of Liverpool's 1-1 draw with West Brom in late December. The Reds were hoping to have...

Xherdan Shaqiri: What Role Will The Swiss Maestro Play Against Manchester United?

Xherdan Shaqiri fell out of favour last season. However, Liverpool have lacked a creative spark over their last three games and, with a crunch clash coming up against Manchester United, it is integral they find it again. Shaqiri looked sharp in the FA Cup last Friday, and may be the man to reignite The...

An Ode To Andy Robertson: Liverpool’s Consistent Scot

For all the talk of the need for Liverpool to reinforce their defence with new signings, their most consistent players ply their trade in the area.

Young Liverpool defender hopeful of more game time if Reds can progress further in FA Cup

Liverpool defender Neco Williams is hopeful of a long FA Cup run this season so he can benefit from potentially more game time with the first team. Jurgen Klopp's side survived a first-half scare against Aston Villa's youth players last Friday night in the third round of the competition. Louie Barry beat Rhys Williams and...

Liverpool FC and The Season’s Context

Let's make no bones about it, Liverpool were poor in their last three Premier League games. In the draws against lowly West Bromwich Albion and Newcastle United, the Reds looked jaded and they failed to turn the lion's share of possession and territory into enough quality chances. The same applied to last Monday's defeat away...

Reds draw Manchester United in FA Cup draw as they prepare to face rivals twice in a week

Liverpool have been handed the tough task of playing Manchester United away in the FA Cup fourth round. Jürgen Klopp's side eventually overcame Aston Villa's youth players in the third round at Villa Park last week. Now, they've been drawn to play Manchester United at Old Trafford in round four. The last time the sides met...

Liverpool and Man United finally meet in fixture to match the hype

When Liverpool play Man United, it always means a huge amount. It remains the No.1 fixture in England, bar none. The history between the cities, whether it be relating to music, fashion or the success of their football teams, makes it a heavyweight match-up that will forever feel special. Despite the build-up always being gargantuan and...

Liverpool midfielder insists Reds want to “play for everything” after FA Cup win at Aston Villa

Liverpool midfielder Gini Wijnaldum says that Jürgen Klopp's men are hungry for success in every tournament they enter this season.

Speaking to Liverpoolfc.com after the victory, Wijnaldum said: “We said...

Is Kylian Mbappe the answer for Liverpool?

Kylian Mbappe in Merseyside. Although it’s currently just speculation, this has the potential to be a transfer story of the decade, let alone just the summer. It’s pretty fair to say that Mbappe & Erling Haaland are two of the hottest properties in world football at the moment, so any transfer stories are bound to...

Tactical Breakdown: Southampton 1-0 Liverpool

On Monday night the Champions travelled down to St Mary's to face a depleted Southampton side, who were without a number of key players, such as Alex McCarthy, Oriol Romeu and Ché Adams. The Saints lined up in a 4-4-2, in which they looked to press Liverpool's backline. Ralph Hassenhutl's team were also instructed to...

Will this be Liverpool’s lineup to face Aston Villa tonight in the FA Cup?

Why the Liverpool system failed against Southampton

Jurgen Klopp switched it up against Southampton. It’s very rare to see him spring a surprise like that, but he has done it previously. I’m not entirely sure if this one was forced on him due to injuries and players needing a rest or whether he thought this tactic would work against the Saints.  We’ll...

Nathaniel Phillips: Why Liverpool’s Mr. Dependable Deserves a Long-Terms Role at the Club

Nathaniel Phillips has all the attributes to become Liverpool's permanent, fourth-choice, centre back. Phillips, thanks to his scruffy beard and sweaty fringe, looks more like a hungover student than a Liverpool centre half. However, looks can be deceiving. His pragmatic style, limited capability and local connection to the club means that a role, as a...

FA Cup preview: Aston Villa vs Liverpool

Liverpool will make the trip to Villa Park for Friday’s FA Cup third-round clash against Aston Villa.

They are still top of the league standings with 33 points but are only ahead...

Reds apparently won’t be pursuing a centre-back signing this month

It has been reported that Liverpool will not be actively pursuing a centre-half signing during the January transfer window.

Trent continues to emulate Gerrard after slump in form at 22

The date was November 12th, 2002, and Liverpool needed to win away to FC Basel to get through their Champions League group. Gerard Houllier's men found themselves 3-0 down before the half-hour mark had even arrived, with one player worse than anyone else on the pitch. That man's name? Steven Gerrard. He was wretched in Switzerland, spraying...

Jürgen Klopp knows Reds must play their way out of current slump

As the fallout from Liverpool's third successive poor performance continues, we look at Jürgen Klopp's post-match press conference following that defeat at Southampton. Danny Ings' early strike was enough to give The Saints all three points on Monday night and make it three games without a win for Klopp's side. This poor run of form has...

Trent Alexander-Arnold’s Use of the Ball

Did you know that Trent Alexander-Arnold gave the ball away 38 times against Southampton? Of course you knew, that stat has been plastered over social media ever since the final whistle.

Liverpool captain Jordan Henderson dejected after Reds’ defeat at Southampton

Toothless Liverpool Without A Prayer At St Mary’s As Southampton Win

Liverpool fell to their second defeat of the season with a 1-0 reversal away to Southampton. Danny Ings early goal was enough to seal the hosts win as the Reds -- who owned the possession and territorial stats -- failed to turn their dominance into goals at St. Mary's. It was the third bad performance on...

Liverpool’s Centre-Back Crisis: Skipper the Solution?

‘I don't know exactly how it is at other clubs, but we have to be really cautious and very serious. So I don't know what we can and what we can't do’. Whether it’s smoke and mirrors or Jurgen Klopp keeping his powder dry, the likelihood of a centre-half being pulled out the hat appears...

Will this be Liverpool’s starting eleven to face Southampton tonight?

Liverpool travel to play Southampton tonight in the Premier League as Jürgen Klopp's side looks for its first win in three games. Southampton are also four games without a win, as it happens.

Jonny Evans Can Be Liverpool’s Centre Half Emergency Solution

Not that you would know it from looking at the Premier League table, or Champions League group table for that matter, but Liverpool have been hamstrung by injuries to central defenders this season. Both Virgil van Dijk and Joe Gomez -- two of Jurgen Klopp's key defensive lieutenants -- will miss most of, if not...

Liverpool defender continues to make “good progress” on his road back to full fitness

Liverpool's Virgil van Dijk continues to make "good progress" on his road to recovery according to Reds boss Jürgen Klopp. Van Dijk suffered an ACL injury after Jordan Pickford's horror challenge in the Merseyside derby in October. The centre-back is not expected to return to first-team action until around May. Earlier this week, Van Dijk posted...

Thiago could be Liverpool’s star man in second half of the season

Remember when Liverpool signed Thiago? No, me neither. It was just a lovely dream, wasn't it? Back in September, the Reds recruited the services of one of the best midfielders of his generation, in what felt like a significant piece of transfer business. Liverpool have mastered the art of buying top-level players and turning them into...

“I can work with this performance” – Klopp keen to take positives from Newcastle stalemate

Liverpool manager Jürgen Klopp believes The Reds were unlucky not to take all three points from their game with Newcastle on Wednesday night. Mohamed Salah, Roberto Firmino and Sadio Mané all started but none of them could find the finish that would have given Liverpool all three points. Newcastle goalkeeper Karl Darlow made some impressive...
