What If...Henderson wasn't sent-off against Man City?
In the latest in our 'What If?' series, Jordan Henderson's damaging red card against Manchester City is bemoaned by Henry Jackson.
Anyone who reads my work or has to suffer through my endless tweets will know that I am a big admirer of Henderson.
A player who has been almost ridiculously maligned by some down the years, he has now forged quite a career at Liverpool, captaining the Reds to Champions League glory.
Next May, he will hopefully become Liverpool's …
Liverpool are nine points clear of Man City. Now what?
Liverpool are nine points clear of Manchester City and eight points clear at the top of the Premier League going into the November international break.
This piece is going to mostly be about where the hell the Reds go from here, and look at some of the maths now that such a lead has been carved out, but first it’s worth a brief reflection of how they got here.
The game will be covered in better detail elsewhere so I …
Do Liverpool Have Another "Best in the World"?
This is the best Liverpool side of the Premier League era.
There seems such little controversy in that, yet five years ago, the Reds were in a mire, in freefall after another debilitating second place finish that saw their star striker depart. It was debilitating because there was no recovery, no tactical acumen, no leading light to catch them as they fell. It was during that time, in that season – 14/15 – where the discussion of Liverpool’s midfield woes …
Liverpool's Virgil van Dijk insists Reds must remain focused between now and May
Liverpool's number 4, Virgil van Dijk, says The Reds are happy with their win over Manchester City but must remain completely focused with some hectic months ahead.

Predicting Liverpool's starting lineup for Sunday's Manchester City clash
Liverpool and Manchester City meet at Anfield in the Premier League on Sunday. We've had a go at predicting Jurgen Klopp's starting lineup for this huge fixture.
Nathaniel Clyne, Joel Matip and Xherdan Shaqiri are the three players definitely ruled out through injury for this game.
Jordan Henderson missed the 2-1 Champions League win over KRC Genk on Tuesday night with an illness. It's believed the Liverpool captain will be back fully fit in time for Sunday's game.

League Cup To Provide Liverpool Squad Players Big Chances
Let's face it, as fans priorities go the League Cup -- especially for a club like Liverpool -- is at the bottom of the pile.
Ask any Reds supporter what they'd most like to win, the consensus, among 99% of those asked, would be the Premier League. Then, after the Champions League, the F.A. Cup and the Club World Cup, you'll find the *insert sponsor name* Cup.
However, as the season enters a key phase for the European Champions you …
A game-by-game mentality: How Liverpool can win the Premier League
To lay everything out on the table from the start, here, any talk of Liverpool having won the Premier League title already this season is absolutely absurd. You can certainly lose the title in the first eight games. But with only 21% of the season completed, there’s no chance you can win it in that time.
Last season, the Reds led Manchester City by seven points at the turn of the year, lost just one game all season, accumulated the …
100% Liverpool Writing Their Own Script
Liverpool notched their 8th straight Premier League win of the season, their 17th in a row total and moved eight points clear at the top of the league with a late penalty against Leicester.
There was a sense of palatable relief as James Milner stepped up in the 95th minute to down Leicester and give Liverpool the three points. It was not a day where Liverpool deserved to drop points, but it increasingly looked like a day where they would.
