Big chances are a crucial part of any Premier League team’s season. They help to differentiate the quality of a team. It expands nicely on the basic idea of xG that not all shots are equal. Bobby Firmino’s tap-in from a yard against Spurs was a better quality chance than when Denis Odoi shot...
As Christmas is looming and the first half of the season in EPL is almost done, all the eyes are on Liverpool and Manchester City, the two teams that appear to be destined to finish 1 and 2 on this season’s table.
The Manchester side victoriously broke into the season and looked invincible until Chelsea...
Data analytics have come forth in leaps and bounds over the last decade or so, as football clubs around the world seek to gain an advantage in securing titles, promotion and everything in between. Even ‘Big’ Sam Allardyce employed a team of data analysts during his tenure at Bolton Wanderers as a part of...
You've got me on key stats for this one folk, I apologise. I'm not smart, handsome or nuanced as Tom but I'll do my best to leave you interested.

Carlo Ancelotti's rivalry with Liverpool would make a bloody good film, wouldn't it? Istanbul, Athens, his La Decima winning Madrid team at Anfield in 2013, and now Anfield for Liverpool 1-0 Napoli in 2018.
A hair raising night, made a brilliant one by a man with the most beautiful head of hair, Alisson Becker.

As the full-time whistle blew on Manchester City's first league defeat of the season on Saturday evening, it wasn't just Chelsea fans celebrating.
Liverpool fans knew that a Chelsea win would leave the Reds out clear at the top of the Premier League for a week at least, N'Golo Kante and David Luiz providing the...
No Salah, no Firmino and no Mane. The seven changes Jurgen Klopp made to his starting eleven at Turf Moor raised a considerable number of eyebrows last Wednesday, not least from myself. But subsequently, having collected six points from two potentially tough away fixtures against Burnley and Bournemouth, as part of a gruelling festive...
And with a single swish of a head the whole path of the 2018-2019 season changes course.
Not many Reds like David Luiz and with good reason. His two spells at Chelsea, his less than exemplary performance against Germany in the 2014 World Cup and his likeness for winning a dubious free kick means there...

Waiting for the line-up card to come out has become one of the most suspenseful parts of the Liverpool experience in recent weeks. Most of the anticipation surrounds the season's long wait for Jurgen Klopp to actually field his best eleven, or what the majority of us assume is his best eleven. Injuries to...
Mohamed Salah reminds the Premier League exactly what he's all about and the Reds are top of the Premier League, for a few hours at least. Not a bad way to start the weekend.
Bournemouth aren't a bad side and the 4-0 scoreline doesn't really reflect the gulf between the two teams, but Liverpool were,...
With Joe Gomez's fractured leg putting him out of action for six weeks, Jurgen Klopp has got a choice to make.
It's not as if there was an attacking injury, with a flurry of names and formations available to the German. Liverpool's lack of centre-back's even rules out the chance of him switching to three...
The Divock Origi substitution was getting close to the Joël Matip substitution when it comes to things that are almost a parody. Just as bringing Matip on in the 90th minute of any requisite game to shore up a 2-0 win doesn’t really make that much sense, neither does throwing on Divock Origi when you’re...
It has felt like a long wait to see Naby Keita truly announce himself as a Liverpool player, but he’s gone and done it in emphatic fashion.

Liverpool travelled to Burnley in search of a win to stay on the tailcoats of City, who had won a day earlier. The fixture, which Liverpool won last year thanks to a Klavan D'Or, needed a repetition. Liverpool delivered the goods late on to stay in pursuit.

Jurgen Klopp made an array of changes for Liverpool's midweek trip to Burnley, with Mohamed Salah, Sadio Mane and Roberto Firmino all out of the starting eleven while Divock Origi was rewarded for his last-gasp winner against Everton at the weekend.
Cork's opening goal for the home side put the Reds on the back foot,...

It was the height of drama, nothing has come close for many years.
Divock Origi's 96th-minute winner for Liverpool in the Merseyside derby was as climactic as things get, and keeps Klopp's momentum rolling over as we head into the winter months, where the fixtures come thick and fast.

An afternoon that threatened to end in frustration turned into one of jubilation when Liverpool's forgotten man Divock Origi turned home the winner following a howler from Jordan Pickford.
