Liverpool head coach Andoni Iraola has issued a public challenge to his forward line, demanding they provide more support to a midfield that has come under heavy fire. The Reds boss is looking for an immediate response after his side were held to a frustrating goalless draw by Fulham at Anfield on Saturday.

Gabriel Agbonlahor has launched a scathing attack on Bruno Fernandes, labelling the Manchester United captain a "cheat" following his controversial involvement in the derby against Manchester City. The former Aston Villa striker believes United’s eventual defeat was nothing more than footballing 'karma' after the Portuguese international helped engineer a red card for Phil Foden.

Liverpool’s underwhelming start to the new campaign has already sparked concerns that the Reds could be facing a significant uphill battle to reclaim their place at Europe’s top table. Despite the high-profile arrival of Bradley Barcola from Paris Saint-Germain, the French star has been warned that he must transform his style of play to survive the rigours of the Premier League.

Bruno Fernandes has become a pantomime villain in Premier League circles, but Michael Owen has told GOAL why some of the Manchester United captain’s “histrionics” may be putting new and old supporters off. The Portuguese playmaker has generated more lively debate following a controversial derby date with ‘noisy neighbours’ City at Old Trafford.
