Liverpool’s fierce attacking threat
Few attacks in world football will look as intimidating as Liverpool’s next season lineup - even without Alexander Isak. Mo Salah signing a new contract was a huge boost, and to follow that up with Florian Wirtz and Hugo Ekitike is impressive. Keeping them all quiet will be a massive challenge for Premier League defences.
Liverpool also boast impressive depth. At the time of writing, Cody Gakpo, Darwin Nunez, Federico Chiesa, and Luis Diaz remain in the squad - though for how long remains to be seen. Arne Slot will have a wealth of options for the campaign ahead, and fans are increasingly optimistic of retaining the title they lifted in May.
Is their attack a bit front-heavy? Possibly, but if their approach is to simply outscore opponents, supporters won’t mind if they concede a few along the way. Early indications suggest backing goals could be the way to go with the Reds in 2025/26.
With 86 goals in 38 games last time out, Liverpool comfortably outscored the rest of England’s top-flight - and they could do so again. The bulk of their goalscorers from 2024/25 will still be there by the time the transfer window closes, and their new signings will only add to that.
With all that in mind, the goal market involving the Reds is certainly one worth looking at this season - both in terms of individual matches and outright bets.
The Reds’ goal market
Ekitike and Salah both rank in the top 10% for npxG (non-penalty goals) in their respective positions across the top five leagues in Europe. Potential new signing Isak also fits into this category. If Liverpool secure the Swedish forward, their attack could become unstoppable.
The question, of course, will be whether Slot can make the forward line work and balance defensive responsibility. It’s something the Dutchman will have to work hard on in the coming weeks. However, regardless of their defensive abilities, there is surely an increase in their goal tally coming this season.
Their first competitive fixture pits them against Crystal Palace, who have so far retained their key players. Oliver Glasner has done a fantastic job with the Eagles, and they could prove tough opponents in the Community Shield. Both teams possess attacking threat, so the overs market at Wembley is worth a glance.
Next up is the Reds’ Premier League opener at home against Bournemouth. The Cherries have lost key defenders Dean Huijsen and Milos Kerkez (the latter now at Merseyside), and may not be at their strongest defensively. Slot will certainly be eager to take advantage of that, and with the home crowd behind them, they could get off to a strong start.
Meanwhile, Salah has scored 25+ goals for five seasons in a row now, and you wouldn’t bet against him doing so again. New players have come in around him, but he’s still Anfield’s Egyptian King, and is showing no signs of slowing down. The bookies currently have him second only to Erling Haaland in the Golden Boot race.
