Anfield Index

Liverpool were in flying form on Saturday, winning 7-0 at Crystal Palace and stretching their lead at the top of the Premier League table. Goalkeeper Alisson Becker was very happy to keep the clean sheet and believed some slight tweaking of the defensive line set The Reds up perfectly to combat Palace's tactics. It was Liverpool's...

Roger Ibañez is the latest centre-back to be linked with a move to Liverpool. According to reports in Italy, the 22-year-old is available for around the £35million mark and Roma are open to cashing in on him, despite him not yet officially being a Giallorossi player.  The Brazilian signed for the capital club in January...

Curtis Jones' meteoric rise continued last Wednesday as the youngster played a vital role in Liverpool's 2-1 top of the table victory over Spurs at Anfield. The 19-year-old's all-action showing -- which is quickly becoming his trademark -- gave the Reds a platform to move back to the top of the table with a deserved...

Liverpool welcomed Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain back to first-team action in their emphatic win over Crystal Palace on Saturday. Jürgen Klopp will be delighted to have the former Southampton and Arsenal man back in contention in a season of unprecedented injury problems for The Reds. Liverpool achieved their biggest ever away victory in top-flight history with that 7-0...

This extraordinary season continues to surprise us all. On Thursday night, Spurs travelled to Anfield, atop the Premier League. Notwithstanding the champions' 65 match unbeaten run in the league at home, Anfield has been a particularly unwelcoming place for the visitors in recent years. Especially for their manager, José Mourinho, a man who has...

Injuries to the defence have hampered Liverpool so far this season, even if it has barely shown on the respective Premier League and Champions League tables. An injury sustained by Virgil van Dijk in the Merseyside derby was the beginning of a run of rotten luck with injuries that is unprecedented in its scale in...

The dreaded Wednesday night/Saturday lunchtime turnaround. Crystal Palace away. No victories on the road since September. The top scorer starting on the bench. A lethargic performance was surely in the offing. But no. Liverpool dismantled Crystal Palace in a fashion that was almost laughable. Symbolic redemption for their humiliation at Villa Park, this victory moves...

Liverpool delivered a magnificent statement performance at Selhurst Park, as they beat Crystal Palace 7-0, to go six points clear, at least temporarily, at the top of the Premier League. Takumi Minamino opened the scoring in the 3rd minute with his first league goal for the club, on the one-year anniversary of the day the...

Liverpool will be top of the Premier League table at Christmas after a huge 7-0 win away to Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park. A brace from Roberto Firmino, two goals from substitute Mohamed Salah, and one strike apiece from Takumi Minamino, Jordan Henderson, and Sadio Mane sealed the Reds' barnstorming win. And it's not as if...

For much of the past year, Roberto Firmino has suffered a downturn in form. That much is undeniable. But many people -- because of committing wholeheartedly to this narrative -- have now not recognized that in the last month the Brazilian international has returned to his old, sharp self. The bright toothed number 9 netted in...
