Liverpool news

Liverpool’s class of 2025 have earned an unfavourable comparison to the Paris Saint-Germain team that once boasted Lionel Messi, Neymar and Kylian Mbappe. The Reds have assembled a star-studded cast of their own at Anfield, splashing out £240 million ($320m) on deals for Alexander Isak and Florian Wirtz, but are still waiting for their fearsome attacking unit to click.

Kate Scott left Thierry Henry, Jamie Carragher and Michah Richards in hysterics after suffering an unfortunate wardrobe malfunction while fronting CBS Sports’ coverage of the Champions League. The incident occurred on October 22, with a panel made up of former Premier League stars seeing the funny side of their host being left a little red-faced.

Mohamed Salah has been branded “greedy” and accused of “hating” Florian Wirtz after passing up the chance to tee up his team-mate for what would have been a first competitive Liverpool goal for the German playmaker. Said incident occurred during the closing stages of the Reds’ 5-1 victory over Eintracht Frankfurt in the Champions League - with the potential there for that result to have been even more emphatic.

On episode nine of the Best Mode On Podcast, former Liverpool and Arsenal winger Jermaine Pennant reveals what it was like to play alongside Thierry Henry, the challenge of taking on Lionel Messi and how he partied the night before his Gunners debut. Pennant also talks openly about prison life, with the 42-year-old having been incarcerated for a period of 30 days back in 2005, as well much, much more.

Mohamed Salah stormed down the tunnel shortly after hearing the final whistle in Liverpool’s Champions League win over Eintracht Frankfurt, with the Egyptian superstar being accused of throwing a “strop” after being named on the bench. Salah was only introduced 74 minutes into a contest that saw the Reds snap their losing run with an emphatic 5-1 victory on German soil.

It was a night of mixed emotions for Liverpool boss Arne Slot, who saw his side end their four-match losing streak courtesy of a dominant 5-1 victory over Eintracht Frankfurt, but there was a massive blow in the first-half as Jeremie Frimpong pulled up and had to be substituted. And there was further bad news as it was revealed after the match that record signing Alexander Isak had to come off at half-time due to feeling pain in his groin.

Liverpool bounced back from their four successive defeats in style as they came from behind to beat Eintracht Frankfurt 5-1 in the Champions League on Wednesday. Hugo Ekitike, Virgil van Dijk, Ibrahima Konate, Cody Gakpo and Dominik Szoboszlai all got on the scoresheet for the Reds in Germany while Florian Wirtz finally registered his first assists since his big-money arrival from Bayer Leverkusen.

Mohamed Salah has been left out of Liverpool's starting line-up to face Eintracht Frankfurt in the Champions League on Wednesday, as Arne Slot has taken action following the Premier League defeat at home to Manchester United last Sunday. Hugo Ekitike has replaced the Egyptian winger in the Reds' XI after starting on the bench against the Red Devils.

Tottenham Hotspur manager Thomas Frank compared Xavi Simons to Liverpool's Florian Wirtz as the playmakers continue to struggle for form since swapping the Bundesliga for the Premier League in the summer. Simons left RB Leipzig to complete his move to Spurs, while Wirtz joined the Reds from former German champions Bayer Leverkusen as the Merseyside broke the British transfer record at that time.

Liverpool boss Arne Slot has called for calm after watching his side slump to a worrying fourth consecutive loss at the weekend, in the form of the damaging 2-1 home defeat by arch-rivals Manchester United. The Dutchman has urged players and fans to focus on the coming matches and not dwell on woeful recent run as the Reds look to get back on track.

Jamie Carragher has been backed to make a sensational return to Liverpool to help out Arne Slot's struggling side after a run of four straight defeats in all competitions. The club spent heavily in the summer on new signings, some of whom have struggled to settle, and Malik Scott thinks Carragher's experience could prove a useful asset in the dressing room.

Liverpool have reportedly identified Antoine Semenyo as a long-term replacement for Mohamed Salah, with a January swoop lined up for the Bournemouth player after the emergence of a release clause in his contract. The 'Egyptian King', whose goals have lit up Anfield since he joined the Merseyside club in 2017, is enduring a rare drought, and whispers of a successor are starting to grow louder.

Arne Slot's Liverpool tenure had been plain sailing until late September rolled around, with the Dutchman the picture of cool as he guided the Reds to the Premier League title in his first season at the helm, making the job look easy after stepping into the very large shoes vacated by Jurgen Klopp in 2024. The new campaign had started well enough, albeit while a number of late goals might have papered over the cracks, but things feel different now.
