David Wagner's Huddersfield team are still looking for their first win of the season. Three draws and five defeats make up their opening eight league games while they also exited the Carabao Cup thanks to a 2-0 loss at Championship side, Stoke City.

Time for Liverpool FC To Show Their Depth
Liverpool have a deeper squad than they have in previous years. This is not a fact that I’m going to dispute, although I’d definitely make (and will make) some arguments that that depth isn’t as deep as maybe it’s being made out in some areas, and certainly hasn’t drastically improved over the summer.
Nevertheless, Klopp has slowly been building a deep and impressive squad that the four acquisitions in the summer have moved relatively close to being a very top …
A Strangely Underrated Start to the Season for Liverpool
With the international break now upon us, it's a good time to reflect on Liverpool's start to the season.
As the final whistle rang around Anfield after the 0-0 draw against Manchester City, it signalled the fourth consecutive game without a win for the Reds. This comes after quite possibly Liverpool's worst ever performance under Jurgen Klopp in the 1-0 defeat against Napoli. A game where the Reds failed to get a single shot on target. With a home defeat …
Liverpool 0-0 Man City: Who was the Man of the Match?
Riyad Mahrez's late penalty miss has left Liverpool fans pondering whether their side's goalless draw with Manchester City represents a point gained or two points dropped.
On the one hand, the Reds could be thankful that they were not punished for what was an uninspiring performance, bereft of the anticipated vigour, but on the other, it seems that a potentially crucial opportunity has been missed, with City expected to hoover up the points elsewhere.
Liverpool flew out of the blocks …
Liverpool 0-0 Manchester City: Mahrez miss costs Citizens rare Anfield win
Liverpool kept their unbeaten Premier League start intact, just, as Riyad Mahrez's late penalty miss cost Manchester City the chance for a first league win at Anfield since 2003.
A stalemate was the last thing expected between the country's two finest teams, but a mutual respect between Jurgen Klopp and Pep Guardiola saw chances few and far between as the two teams suffocated each other in possession.
City had the better of the chances, culminating in Virgil van Dijk's challenge …

Liverpool's form has taken a definite hit over the last week or so. Yet, the most important fixture, in my view, was when Jurgen Klopp's men attained the most positive result of the last week - with Daniel Sturridge bagging a late equaliser at Stamford Bridge to maintain The Reds' unbeaten league …
Panic at the San Paolo - Napoli 1-0 Liverpool
Panic! Our once vaunted attack leaves Italy with a whimper. The Ribena has run out for James Milner. Naby Keita left the pitch on a stretcher. Trent and Robbo looked gassed from the beginning. And City awaits...
First Half
All About Naby
Each of the other Champions League ties were full of tricks, flips and goals galore. In Naples, the mood was much different. It’s not clear what crop was harvested from the San Paolo pitch prior to kickoff, but …
Player Ratings as Reds are neutralised in Naples
Dreadful, absolutely dreadful. Liverpool's worst performance of the season so far rightfully punished with a late Napoli winner.
The Reds were never at the races, with David Ospina not having to make a single save in the home goal.
Onto Sunday, where it has to be better. Here are your ratings.
Three players come away with credit
Alisson Becker (7): Made a couple of really good saves, probably would have been more than 1-0 if not for him. Held a …
Chelsea 1 Liverpool 1: A Tactical Breakdown
First of all, an apology from myself. I'm awfully sorry I haven't been able to discuss perhaps two of the most exciting games of the season - LFC vs. Spurs and LFC vs. PSG, as unfortunately, I have been without WiFi for the past two weeks. To make up for that, this is a short but special Tactical Breakdown edition, looking at both the Chelsea League Cup and Premier League games.

Napoli lost Maurizio Sarri to Chelsea, during the summer. Sarri then also took their fantastic midfield-metronome, Jorginho, to Stamford Bridge with him. Carlo Ancelotti came in and, although he has made a relatively positive start, they are already behind the standards they set, last season. An early-season …
