Being at the summit of the standings on December 25 is considered a good omen in English football, but what does history tell us about that cliché?

Thierry Henry has revealed his "love" for Liverpool fans' reaction to Mohamed Salah's falling out with Arne Slot. The former Arsenal striker admitted he was struck by the maturity and balance shown by the fanbase, who chose unity over division at a delicate moment in the club’s season.

Jamie Carragher has been quizzed on whether Liverpool will look to sell Mohamed Salah in the January transfer window, while also doubling down on his claim that the Egyptian superstar was a “disgrace” to speak out against the club. Salah accused the Reds of throwing him under the bus when aiming an explosive outburst in the Reds’ direction.

Adidas have chosen a fitting moment to celebrate one of football’s most recognisable figures, unveiling a special-edition F50 boot created in honour of Liverpool forward Mohamed Salah ahead of the Africa Cup of Nations. The release, titled the F50 Salah, is designed to reflect both the winger’s extraordinary impact on the modern game.

It has been suggested, by Dietmar Hamann, that Liverpool could look to sell £125 million ($167m) striker Alexander Isak to Barcelona in the summer of 2026. Anfield future questions are also being asked of £116m ($155m) playmaker Florian Wirtz, while talk of Jurgen Klopp returning to Merseyside in a managerial capacity has been addressed by a former Reds star.

Former Aston Villa loanee Jermaine Jenas believes Jadon Sancho and Harvey Elliott, after flopping in the West Midlands, could both be on the move in the January transfer window. Two players with England international ambitions may be forced back to their parent clubs Manchester United and Liverpool before fresh agreements are sought early in 2026.

Mohamed Salah bid farewell to Anfield on Saturday - but was it for good? The fact that he'd even made it onto the pitch was clearly a positive sign. After Salah's extraordinary attack on Arne Slot and the club the previous weekend, there was a very real fear that 'The Egyptian King' might not even make the squad for Liverpool's final fixture before he headed off to the Africa Cup of Nations in Morocco.

Liverpool midfielder Dominik Szoboszlai was forced off during the 2-0 win over Brighton after suffering an ankle injury, prompting concerns over his availability during the hectic Christmas schedule.

The Africa Cup of Nations is back this December and January, with the continent's very best set to battle it out in Morocco as they aim to take Cote d'Ivoire's crown after their unlikely victory at the start of 2024. AFCON's prestige, drama and quality remains up there with the Euros and Copa America, but the downside for European clubs is it's another tournament which falls slap bang in the middle of their seasonal calendar, meaning most teams will be losing players for up to a month.

Liverpool are set to lose their wonderkid for free as Leeds United are ready to snap up 15-year-old attacker Kai Morrall. The youngster joined Liverpool's U-9 side in 2017 and has since then progressed through the ranks. But now, after eight years, the Morall has parted ways with the Reds mutually and is on his way to join Leeds' youth team.

Liverpool talisman Mohamed Salah has been tipped to make a shock return to Serie A as Reds legend opens up on 'solution' to the Egyptian's transfer saga.
