Venue: Otkrytiye Arena, Moscow
Background
Tonight, Spartak and Liverpool met for the first time since 2002. After what can probably be described as two disappointing draws for both teams in round one of the group fixtures, each of them was looking to get back on track with three points from this fixture. Sevilla, at...
From Russia with a point, return Jürgen’s Reds. Not great for Liverpool, but routine wins against Maribor and we’ll be laughing with 8 from 4.
Speaking of 8s and 4s, how did the players get on?
Starting Eleven
Loris Karius (5): Got sympathy for him with the first goal because it’s powerful etc. But, he doesn’t dive...
The brilliance of this Liverpool team is its attack, with Jurgen Klopp a naturally positive manager who thrives off his players performing with fluency and freedom.
The Reds’ defending may have left plenty to be desired under the charismatic German, but his side have produced some truly great attacking performances in the two years since...
A win! A Liverpool win! Three goals beats two goals and the travelling Reds went home happy. The weekend is saved.
It wasn’t pleasant. Jurgen’s lads coasted to a two goal cushion and were slowly beginning to realise that Leicester were not quite the reincarnation of the Dirty Dozen they’d previously thought them to be,...
Jordan Henderson. League Cup Winner 2012, Europa League Runner Up 2016, Audi Cup Runner Up 2017 & Serial Young Player of the Year Award Winner. His honours list reads like a small pack of Revels.
Yet somewhat amazingly, despite continuing to divide opinion and never really cementing his position as a winner, Henderson is a...
Liverpool attained a semblance of revenge for the mid-week loss in the cup game against Leicester as the Reds prevailed by an odd goal in five. The important takeaways from tonight.
Liverpool buck the win-less trend
Liverpool headed into this game on the back of a 4 game winless streak (if such things can be called...
A win! A win!
We'll take that, won't we? A first three points for the Reds in what seems like forever, as we dispatched Jamie Vardy and his band of merry men.
3-2!
Simon Mignolet (6):Â An interesting performance for Migs. Some good saves, but he'll be annoyed that he pushes the ball to Mahrez from an early...

Venue: King Power Stadium, Leicester
Background
As a result of those strange fixture anomalies that football can sometimes provide us with, Liverpool had to revisit the King Power Stadium this evening. Leicester, of course, had been the venue for the Reds' early exit from the Carabao Cup last Tuesday night.
The two starting elevens today were...
Alberto Moreno’s endured a pretty gruelling time since becoming a Liverpool player in 2014. Arriving from Sevilla, the Spaniard joined as a very attack minded, promising left-back with pace to burn. His defensive abilities, however, have always come under scrutiny. Take a look back at the 2016 Europa League final against his former-club Sevilla...
