Everton at Goodison on Sunday will offer more of a challenge, however that...

Gini Wijnaldum: Prime Example of Trusting Klopp’s Transfer System

At £25 million, many Liverpool fans scoffed at the fee Jürgen Klopp forked out when signing Georginio Wijnaldum from Newcastle United back in 2016.

Player Ratings as Liverpool Return To Top Spot

Liverpool returned to the top of the Premier League table with a routine win against Bournemouth, showing a much-improved performance across the board.

Fabinho and Henderson – an ideal midfield duo?

Fabinho's arrival on Merseyside was supposed to spell the end of Jordan Henderson as a Liverpool starter, despite the fact, the Liverpool No.14 retained the captaincy. However, the Brazilian's arrival might be what reignites the former Sunderland youngster's Liverpool career. The pair got the nod against Wolverhampton Wanderers, their first start as a two this...

PSG 2-1 Liverpool: What went wrong?

It may be Liverpool's fourth season under Jurgen Klopp, but still the Reds insist upon doing it the hard way. A gut-wrenching defeat at PSG means their European ambitions hinge on the meeting with Napoli in a fortnight's time.
