Liverpool’s sudden slump in form has come as a shock to many this season. The Anfield side were among the Premier League’s most dominant teams last year, with their Champions League journey only halted by the sheer quality of Paris Saint-Germain. Supporters were left excited about what lay ahead, expecting the momentum to carry on — but reality has told a different story. Last season, Liverpool’s football was sharp and unpredictable, driven in large part by Mohamed Salah enjoying arguably the best campaign of his career. This time around, however, the Egyptian has struggled to hit those same heights, while…

Manchester City go into their midweek Premier League clash with Fulham facing a familiar, if increasingly frustrating, challenge: maintaining top-level performances while coping with injuries, fatigue and the unrelenting pressure of a title race that shows no sign of easing. Pep Guardiola has been forced to improvise for much of the campaign. At times, those adjustments have been masterful, underlining his status as one of football’s greatest tacticians. On other occasions, they have revealed cracks in a team that still dominates possession and creates chances, but has looked vulnerable at moments — particularly when caught in defensive transition. Wednesday night’s…
When Elliot Anderson left Newcastle United for Nottingham Forest in the summer of 2024, the move barely caused a ripple outside the East Midlands. A £35 million deal between two Premier League sides at opposite ends of the table, it was seen as sensible rather than eye-catching business: Forest adding a technically sound English midfielder, and Newcastle easing financial pressure. Fast forward less than two years, and that view has completely changed. Since arriving at the City Ground, Anderson’s progress has been extraordinary. Once labelled a talented but raw prospect, he has developed into one of the league’s most dependable…
Arne Slot voiced his frustration that Marc Guehi wasn’t sent off for pulling Mohamed Salah’s shirt during Liverpool’s disappointing Premier League loss to Manchester City. The Reds had taken the lead with 16 minutes left thanks to a stunning free-kick from Dominik Szoboszlai, only for Bernardo Silva to equalize and Erling Haaland to score a late penalty. City thought they had a third when Alisson Becker went up for a corner and they countered, with substitute Rayan Cherki scoring from the halfway line. However, referee Craig Pawson disallowed the goal and later sent off Szoboszlai for tugging Haaland’s shirt while…
Arne Slot is dealing with a headache at right-back ahead of Liverpool’s trip to Sunderland on Wednesday, with Dominik Szoboszlai ruled out through suspension. The Hungarian will miss the match after being sent off for denying a clear goal-scoring chance when he hauled down Erling Haaland in the chaotic closing moments of Sunday’s 2–1 Premier League defeat to Manchester City at Anfield. With both Jeremie Frimpong and Conor Bradley already sidelined for the Sunderland clash, Slot has also suggested Joe Gomez is unlikely to return in time. Gomez has missed the last three matches due to a hip issue. “Jeremie…
Liverpool’s push for a Champions League spot took a blow as Manchester City struck twice late on to secure a dramatic 2–1 victory. The reigning champions now face a tough battle to finish in the top four, sitting five points adrift. The Reds looked set for a vital win after their standout performer produced a moment of brilliance to put Arne Slot’s side ahead. Dominik Szoboszlai smashed in a sensational long-range free-kick, leaving Gianluigi Donnarumma with no chance. But Liverpool were unable to protect their advantage. Bernardo Silva was quickest to react to an Erling Haaland knockdown, slipping beyond the…
Gary Neville backed referee Craig Pawson’s call not to show Marc Guehi a straight red card in the second half of Liverpool’s clash with Manchester City at Anfield. Liverpool players and fans were convinced Guehi should have been sent off in the 68th minute after bringing down Mohamed Salah just outside the penalty area. The defender was only booked, despite appearing to tug Salah back as the forward drove through the right channel. Pawson immediately awarded a free-kick, with VAR confirming the foul took place — and ended — outside the box, ruling out any penalty claims. VAR then reviewed…
Dominik Szoboszlai is set to serve a suspension after seeing red in the dramatic closing moments of Liverpool’s loss to Manchester City on Sunday. The Hungarian midfielder had earlier put the Reds ahead with a superb free-kick, but late chaos followed as Liverpool pushed for an equaliser with Alisson Becker up the pitch. When Rayan Cherki’s long-range effort rolled into the net, Szoboszlai had sprinted back in a last-ditch attempt to stop it. In the build-up, Szoboszlai tugged Erling Haaland’s shirt as they chased back, with the City striker then grabbing him in return. After a VAR review, referee Craig…
