Will this be Liverpool's starting eleven to face Wolves on Sunday night?
Liverpool meet Wolves in the Premier League this Sunday night at Anfield. We've had a look at what starting eleven Jürgen Klopp may opt for.
Unless you've been living under a rock the last couple of months, you'll be well aware of the crazy injury list Klopp and co are dealing with at the moment.
This weekend, Liverpool will be without Alisson Becker, Virgil van Dijk, Joe Gomez, Trent Alexander-Arnold, Thiago Alcântara, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, James Milner, Xherdan Shaqiri and Naby …
Tactical Breakdown: Liverpool 1-0 Ajax
After last week's home defeat to Atalanta - Liverpool's twelfth loss at Anfield in the European Cup/Champions League - Group D was suddenly fraught with unexpected possibilities. Jürgen Klopp's men, amidst a biblical injury crisis, needed to settle their European affairs as soon as possible, but given the nature of recent performances and the strength of Ajax, victory was by no means a foregone conclusion.
The Reds set up in a 4-3-3, with Salah and Mané flanking Jota, in place …
Why Klopp opted for Kelleher over Adrian
A few weeks back now, Jamie Carragher analysed what has happened to Liverpool’s defensive line since Virgil van Dijk’s injury on Monday Night Football. There was a belief that without the Dutchman, the Reds would retreat a little. There have been subtle tweaks but these haven’t been anywhere near as drastic as many had expected.
In his feature, Carragher talked about the backline’s preemptive positioning. Without the recovery pace of Van Dijk and Joe Gomez, Liverpool have stopped trying to …
Henderson sings praises of team's young stars after impressive performances against Ajax
Liverpool captain Jordan Henderson was full of praise for the team's young stars after Tuesday night's Champions League win over Ajax at Anfield.
With Alisson Becker sustaining an injury, Jürgen Klopp made the brave decision to go with 22-year-old Caoimhin Kelleher in goals for The Reds instead of the more experienced Adrián.
In defence, Neco Williams, 19, started at right-back despite having a tough time in his previous few games. Curtis Jones, also just 19, played in midfield alongside Henderson …
Fabinho Proving Himself As Top Class Liverpool Defender
After taking a few months to settle into his new surroundings after his move from Monaco, Fabinho has consistently been brilliant for Liverpool since joining the club from Monaco in the summer of 2018.
As the teams defensive midfield general, the long-legged Brazilian played a prominent role in the Reds having the best Premier League defence in the 2018/2019 and 2019/2020 seasons, campaigns where the club won the Champions League and Premier League respectively.
And now, thanks to an injury …
Kelleher delights in Champions League debut success
Liverpool's Caoimhin Kelleher impressed on his Champions League debut, helping The Reds to a 1-0 win over Dutch giants Ajax.
Curtis Jones' second-half goal was all that separated the sides at the final whistle and there was no bigger smile in Anfield than that on goalkeeper Kelleher's face. The young Irishman played a huge part, making saves in the first and second half for The Reds. His reaction save from Klaas-Jan Huntelaar's header late in the game was a particular …
Three Gini Wijnaldum Replacements
It’s just as well Liverpool didn’t sell Gini Wijnaldum in the summer. At the time, It was a divisive topic, with it being the last real opportunity for the Reds to cash in the Dutchman before his contract expires. Despite the addition of Thiago, the former Newcastle midfielder stayed at Anfield. But now, as we near December, he’s the only midfielder Jurgen Klopp has been able to rely on with all of the others have suffering various injuries.
Part of …
Liverpool Win The Jota & Werner Transfer Saga
Liverpool's second choices in the transfer market have come up trumps in recent years.
In the summer of 2016, the Reds were heavily linked with a move for Mario Gotze, a player who enjoyed his best footballing days under the management of Jurgen Klopp at Borussia Dortmund. The German, however, opted to rejoin Dortmund from Bayern Munich. Klopp wasted no time and decided to push for a move for Sadio Mane from Southampton.
Since then, the Senegalese winger has become …

James Milner was the latest Liverpool player to be added to The Reds' ever-growing injury list after picking up an injury against Brighton in Saturday's 1-1 draw.
Milner will therefore miss tonight's game as will Naby Keïta, Trent Alexander-Arnold, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, Thiago Alcântara, Xherdan Shaqiri, Joe Gomez and Virgil van Dijk.
