Liverpool’s Top Four Prospects Damaged With Leeds Draw

Liverpool's prospects of qualifying for next season's Champions League took a hit after a 1-1 draw with Leeds United at Elland Road.

What Happens Next

The Super League... It’s literally the same process that saw the Premier League breakaway from FA so they could make their own deals and build a marketable enterprise.

Analysis: Why Alexander-Arnold must stay at right-back for Liverpool

It is a yearly occurrence now. It doesn’t matter what Trent Alexander-Arnold does, talk inevitably turns to whether or not he should be doing whatever it is he’s doing from the centre of the pitch.
