Alexis Mac Allister has lifted the lid on a crucial team meeting with Arne Slot that sparked Liverpool’s recent goal-scoring frenzy.

Liverpool boss Arne Slot has aired his true feelings on Liverpool’s injury struggles, admitting that he can “probably blame myself” for some of the issues that have arisen at Anfield.

Goretzka is now expected to headline a major summer transfer battle.

Casemiro is among the many Manchester United players whose performances have markedly improved under new head coach Michael Carrick and the Brazilian has shown his gratitude to the former Red Devils midfielder.

Pat Nevin has warned Alejandro Garnacho that his Chelsea career risks turning "very ugly" following a difficult start to life at Stamford Bridge.
