Brighton Gunning for Liverpool’s Milner

Imagine, if you will, David Ornstein from The Athletic revealing a juicy tidbit: Brighton, with a glint in their eye, are revving their engines for a daring manoeuvre to snatch Liverpool's midfield veteran, James Milner, as he saunters into the great unknown of free agency this summer.

Klopp Confirms Konaté Comeback, Jota’s Fitness in Balance

Jurgen Klopp has confirmed Ibrahima Konate will return to the squad as Liverpool host Tottenham, while hopes are Diogo Jota has avoided injury.

Cody Gakpo a bright spark in Liverpool’s stuttering season

Trent’s Changing Role: The Major Questions

Liverpool’s recent upturn in form has coincided with the adjustments to the role of Trent Alexander-Arnold and it’s natural this has been the main talking point in the last few games.

West Ham vs Liverpool Preview
