Arsenal midfielder Granit Xhaka says Liverpool represent a ‘good example’ for the Gunners to follow but admits it will take ‘three or four years’ for them to reach our level.

Xherdan Shaqiri has withdrawn from the Switzerland squad ahead of the international break because he wants to focus on regaining his first-team place at Liverpool.

Fabinho and Divock Origi both expect a tricky evening when Liverpool face Burnley at Turf Moor on Saturday. The Reds won both games against the Clarets last season, but were made to sweat after going behind in the two fixtures. Burnley have made a decent start to the season, powering past Southampton before falling to […]

On-loan midfielder Marko Grujic has underlined his intention to fight for a first-team spot at Anfield next season. Grujic is enjoying a second temporary spell at Hertha Berlin, a move that was thought best for all parties.

Jurgen Klopp fielded questions on Xherdan Shaqiri and Bobby Duncan in his press conference on Friday after grumblings of discontent from both players.

Jurgen Klopp says there’s no reason to rest players at this early stage of the season but has confirmed that he will begin to rotate after the upcoming international break.

Jurgen Klopp says Alisson’s recovery is progressing but did not offer a timescale on his return to action. He was, of course, forced off in our opening league game against Norwich with a calf problem. It was suggested at the time that the Brazilian would be out for ‘a few weeks’. And Klopp’s answer when […]

Rhian Brewster has earned a first call-up to England’s U21 squad for their upcoming European Championship Qualifiers. Brewster’s eventual graduation was inevitable after he sensationally scored 20 goals in 23 appearances at U17 level. He also won the Golden Boot at the U17 World Cup two years ago as England ran out victorious. His long-term […]

Steven Gerrard fancies taking his Rangers side to Old Trafford in this season’s Europa League. The draw takes place at midday on Friday, with Gerrard’s side having secured qualification in dramatic circumstances with a late winner against Legia Warsaw. The draws often throw up some fascinating narratives, and there’s a chance Liverpool legend Gerrard could […]

Adrian says he ‘really enjoyed’ Jurgen Klopp’s Rocky impersonation following his decisive Super Cup penalty shootout save.

And in a post-match interview, a delighted Klopp, who had charged over to embrace the ‘keeper, celebrated in very unique fashion. Klopp […]

Sky Sports pundit Charlie Nicholas has backed Liverpool to continue their winning streak against Burnley, but has warned that they will sense vulnerabilities. The Reds top the league with maximum points from their first three games and victory at Turf Moor would be their 13th in succession in the Premier League. That would signify their […]

Virgil van Dijk was crowned the UEFA Men’s Player of the Year on Thursday, but it’s unlikely the honours will stop there. Van Dijk won almost 100 more points than Lionel Messi, the best player on the planet, in the battle for the award. That bodes very well indeed for his chances of further individual […]

Jurgen Klopp admits he will have to take a ‘closer look’ at two of our lesser-known Champions League opponents in the coming weeks. Napoli are proving an increasingly familiar foe, but Salzburg and Genk, from Pots Three and Four, are more of an unknown quantity for the Reds. That will necessitate plenty of research into […]
