Liverpool news

Arne Slot has changed his assessment of Liverpool's squad after he bizarrely claimed that it lacked depth despite the Reds spending more than any English club in the Premier League in the last transfer window. The Merseysiders underwent a major overhaul after winning the Premier League last season but they find themselves in a serious rut in the 2025-26 campaign.

Liverpool manager Arne Slot addressed talk of him losing his job amid the Reds' torrid run of form as pressure cranks up on the Dutch manager. The reigning English champions got off to a flying start in their title defence campaign but are now struggling for form as they have lost six out of their last seven matches across all competitions and are already seven points behind Premier League leaders Arsenal.

Premier League pair Liverpool and Manchester City are set to be embroiled in a club vs country row ahead of the Africa Cup of Nations later this year. The duo are expected to be without respective forwards Mohamed Salah and Omar Marmoush for the end of 2025 and start of 2026. However, both sides are unlikely to release their players for a pre-AFCON friendly in mid-December.

Jordon Ibe, once one of English football’s brightest young talents and a £15 million Liverpool export, has joined eighth-tier side Sittingbourne as he looks to “rediscover the joy of football.” The 29-year-old winger, who previously starred in the Premier League with Bournemouth, has embarked on a new chapter in non-league football after his move to Sweden fell through earlier this year.

Mohamed Salah has been in decline for three seasons according to a Liverpool legend. Emile Heskey joined the Reds from Leicester in 2000 and spent four years on the club's books until he left for Birmingham in 2004. And Heskey believes that a dip in performances is inevitable but added that if Salah isn't scoring, then it can be like playing with 10 men.

Bryan Mbeumo reportedly turned down four clubs in order to join Manchester United in the summer. The in-form Cameroon international has made a blistering start to life at Old Trafford following his £70 million (€79m/$92m) summer move from Brentford, playing a significant role in what has been a dramatic turnaround in fortunes for Ruben Amorim's side.

Former Chelsea and Liverpool striker Fabio Borini has revealed he wanted to sue former club Sampdoria as they did not feed him during a lean patch in his career. Borini's revelations come just weeks after his surprise return to English football with Salford City, who are owned by members from Manchester United's 'Class of '92'. Back on English shores, the Italian will be looking to rebuild his career and rediscover his love for the game after what he describes as one of the darkest periods of his life.

Arne Slot has boldly claimed that he will not focus on Liverpool's defence as the Reds boss hopes that his side will outscore every opponent on the way, emerging stronger than before. Following a humiliating 3-0 Carabao Cup defeat to Crystal Palace at Anfield, questions have been asked of the Reds' leaking backline, but the Dutch manager insisted that he will not compromise his attacking principles even as the club’s defensive frailties threaten to unravel their season.

Alexander Isak start to life at Liverpool has been far from smooth, and Arne Slot has shared a disappointing injury update ahead of their Premier League fixture against Aston Villa. There were high hopes when Isak arrived to spearhead the Reds' attack after his British-record move from Newcastle United, but his battle with fitness issues has derailed those ambitions. The forward limped off during their 5-1 demolition of Eintracht Frankfurt and hasn't featured since.

Real Madrid are leading the race for Marc Guehi as the La Liga leaders are reportedly "confident" of beating Liverpool to complete the free signing of the Crystal Palace captain. The 25-year-old centre-back is out of contract at the end of the current season, and with Palace unable to convince him to stay, Guehi has emerged as one of Europe’s most in-demand free agents. The Reds tried their best to get him to Merseyside, but their attempts failed flat on their face after Palace chairman Steve Parish chose to shut the door on the transfer in the 11th hour.

Trent Alexander-Arnold has opened up about the exact moment he started learning Spanish ahead of his blockbuster summer move to Real Madrid. The England international ended a 20-year association with Liverpool by joining Los Blancos for £8 million (€10m/$11m) in June, wowing football supporters as he fluently spoke the language during his unveiling.

With the title race having already swung back and forth while the top-four and relegation battles are as open as they have been for a few years, the Premier League is becoming increasingly difficult to predict. Sure, the odd match still follows the formbook, but a number of teams are proving tough to pin down and figure out what to expect from them on a game-to-game basis.
