Liverpool news

Florian Wirtz finds himself at the centre of a fresh VAR storm after Fulham lodged an official complaint regarding his controversial opener in the recent draw at Craven Cottage. The Cottagers are demanding answers from the refereeing body, convinced that the German international was clearly offside despite the new tolerance rules allowing the strike to stand.

Oliver Glasner has refused to rule out a January exit for Marc Guehi, admitting he "is not naive" to the lure of Manchester City. With the defender’s deal expiring this summer, the Palace boss used a vivid analogy about "freezing" to explain why a massive bid could force a sale. Glasner concedes that if finances outweigh sporting needs, the captain will be sold.

Liverpool fans will have to wait a little longer to see Mohamed Salah back in the famous red jersey after the Egyptian icon scored for his country to extend their stay at the Africa Cup of Nations. Salah was on the scoresheet in the thrilling 3-1 victory over Benin and now face a quarter-final clash on Saturday, with the Reds due to face Premier League leaders Arsenal this week.

Florian Wirtz has admitted he was convinced his goal would be ruled out for being offside in Liverpool's 2-2 draw at Fulham. Harry Wilson gave the Cottagers an early lead before Wirtz and Cody Gakpo efforts turned the game around for the Reds. Harrison Reed's stoppage-time stunner ensured the points were shared on Sunday as Arne Slot's side ran out of luck at Craven Cottage.

Liverpool scored in the 94th minute before conceding one of the goals of the season moments later in a thrilling 2-2 draw at Fulham on Sunday. The Reds went behind to an early goal but did well to claw their way back into the contest and even appeared to have found a winner, but they head back to Merseyside with only a point to show for their efforts.

Liverpool's Premier League clash with Fulham was delayed on Sunday afternoon. The Reds' match at Craven Cottage was due to kick off at 15:00 (GMT), but had to be pushed back due to a medical emergency inside the stadium. Arne Slot's side travelled to west London as part of an action-packed day of action in England's top flight.

Liverpool have explained why Hugo Ekitike does not form part of their matchday squad for a Premier League clash with Fulham. The Reds have seen their attacking options further depleted for a trip to Craven Cottage. They are already without Swedish frontman Alexander Isak, with the £125 million ($168m) striker nursing an injury, while Mohamed Salah is on Africa Cup of Nations duty.

Jamie Carragher has predicted when Mohamed Salah will receive his grand send-off from Liverpool. The Egypt international took aim at the club before jetting off with Egypt to the Africa Cup of Nations, insisting they had thrown him under the bus, and Carragher has now put his neck on the line by attempting to predict when he will leave the club.

We reached the midway point of the Premier League season on Thursday night, with Arsenal holding a very promising four-point advantage at the top of the table as the Gunners look to end an agonising, 22-year title drought, and their chances of doing so have only increased after Saturday's hard-fought win at Bournemouth. Of course, Manchester City are very dangerous chasers - as Arsenal know to their considerable cost - and Aston Villa will obviously be hoping to stay in touch even after their chastening 4-1 defeat at the Emirates on Tuesday.

Liverpool star Alexis Mac Allister has issued a frank assessment of Liverpool’s season so far and revealed he believes the club made too many changes too quickly, which has caused the club to make a dreadful start to the defence of their Premier League title. And while the Argentina star has written off title hopes, he still believes his team can still enjoy success this season.

Liverpool striker Hugo Ekitike admits it is "difficult" to know that he is playing regularly for the Reds because of Alexander Isak's leg fracture. The £125 million ($168m) signing from Newcastle scored against Tottenham but, in doing so, was challenged by Micky van de Ven, and has since been ruled out for a significant period due to a leg fracture that required surgery.

Harvey Elliott looks like he has already played his last Aston Villa game as manager Unai Emery revealed the decision over his future was made months ago. The playmaker swapped Liverpool for the Villans on a season-long loan move but he has barely featured for the West Midlands outfit this season. The 22-year-old is now stuck between a rock and a hard place amid his uncertain future.
