Will this be Liverpool's lineup to play Sheffield United on Sunday?
Liverpool travel to play Sheffield United in the Premier League this Sunday night. We've had a look at the possible starting eleven for The Reds.
Jürgen Klopp's side currently sits in sixth place in the Premier League table, five points off West Ham and that coveted top-four spot. Liverpool have lost four consecutive league games and will be looking to stop the rot at Bramall Lane this weekend.
Liverpool are without Virgil van Dijk, Joe Gomez, Joël Matip, Jordan Henderson, …
Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain: Trent's understudy
Trent Alexander-Arnold is a problem for Liverpool. A good one, but, nevertheless, a problem. He’s a unique right-back and it means that whenever he doesn’t start, there’s a noticeable drop-off in quality and quite a shift in style.
The 22-year-old came through the ranks as a midfielder and it’s why he’s so comfortable when tasked with being a playmaker. It’s not often you see a midfielder move to full-back. The usual path is ball-carrying winger to full-back, largely because full-backs …
Can Naby Keita help save Liverpool's season?
It's fair to say Naby Keita hasn't set the world alight at Liverpool.
Few players have joined with greater expectations on their shoulders than the Guinean when he arrived at Anfield in 2018, following a superb spell at RB Leipzig.
The fact that Liverpool fans had to wait a whole year to see Keita in the squad only added to the excitement surrounding him, with each month edging closer to finally watching him in a Reds shirt.
The 26-year-old is …
Reds forward back in full training as Liverpool prepare for top-four slog between now and May
Liverpool's Diogo Jota returned to full training with the first-team squad at the club's AXA Training Centre this week.
Jota has been out of action since picking up a knee injury in The Reds' 1-1 draw away to FC Midtjylland in their Champions League group clash back in December. The former Wolves forward had made a fantastic start to his Anfield career since his signing last September, scoring 9 goals already.
In a week where rumours were circulating that Jordan …
Why Liverpool Fans Need To Kabak Ozan
Let's call a spade a spade: Ozan Kabak's opening two appearances in the Premier League for Liverpool have been nothing short of disastrous.
In his debut, the Reds ruined a good performance and a 1-0 lead going into the final minutes of the game and eventually lost 3-1 to Leicester City, a defeat that could have big ramifications on the race for Champions League football. The Turk was at fault for at least two goals.
First, he got his communicational …
Former Reds defender believes Liverpool's current form is "not acceptable"
Former Liverpool defender Jamie Carragher claims Jürgen Klopp's team's current run of form is "not acceptable" after Merseyside derby defeat.
Liverpool have fallen to sixth in the Premier League after a run of four consecutive defeats in the top flight.
Speaking on Sky Sports' Monday Night Football show, Carragher explained why he believes that Liverpool should still be picking up wins despite the injuries the squad is dealing with:
"I said during commentary that 'I am sick of talking about …
Tactical Breakdown: Liverpool 0-2 Everton
Carlo Ancelotti's Everton piled on more Merseyside misery for Liverpool, as they won by two goals at Anfield, their first away derby victory this century. The result displayed some of the impressive work Carlo Ancelotti has done with Everton, and drew upon aspects of the 0-0 draw following the restart, last season.
Systems
Liverpool utilised their normal 4-3-3 system in the first half. Alexander-Arnold and Robertson looked to move up into midfield and forward positions, whilst Salah, Firmino and Mané …
Liverpool forward set to return to full training this week as Reds look to bounce back from derby defeat
Liverpool's Diogo Jota is expected to resume full first-team training this week, providing a much-needed boost for The Reds.
Jürgen Klopp's side lost 2-0 at home to Everton on Saturday evening in their first derby defeat at Anfield in over 21 years.
There was more bad news in that game as captain Jordan Henderson went off with a first-half injury. It looked like a groin problem for Liverpool's experienced skipper. Henderson is expected to miss the next four to five …
Heavy metal football and squad dynamics
To say Liverpool are in a rut would be an understatement. The Reds are in unchartered territory under Jurgen Klopp having lost four consecutive home games. They’re without a Premier League win in February and they’re five points off the top four with just 13 matches remaining. If Everton and Aston Villa win their games in hand, the champions will be in eighth position.
Injuries were, rightly, the focus of conversation. The debate centred around whether they were an excuse …
Mohamed Salah: Liverpool's Underestimated Leader
Leadership comes in many forms.
When you mention the word in the context of Liverpool, several names come to mind. Jordan Henderson, James Milner, and Virgil van Dijk -- three of the four members of the first team's leadership group, along with Georginio Wijnaldum -- are all associated with being leaders, whether that's through their vocal presence or by virtue of their respect-commanding aura.
A name you seldom hear mentioned when it comes to leaders in the Reds' squad is …
