City have

Liverpool are not blind to the qualities of Kylian Mbappe but will not be drawn into a bidding war for the Paris St Germain striker, manager Juergen Klopp said. The France forward stayed at PSG this season despite interest from Real Madrid and has hit top form with 36 goals from 45 matches in all competitions. The 23-year-old World Cup winner's contract expires in June and speculation about his future has ramped up in recent weeks, though Klopp was tight-lipped about any contact

Juergen Klopp's relentless Liverpool beat Chelsea 6-5 on penalties in a fluctuating English FA Cup final on Saturday to stay on course for an unprecedented quadruple of trophies.

But they could only draw 1-1 with Tottenham Hotspur -- ending a run of 12 successive home league wins

Liverpool survived a first-half scare to reach the Champions League final with a 3-2 win at Villarreal on Tuesday, for a 5-2 aggregate victory, after the night had threatened to turn sour for Juergen Klopp's side.

Mohamed Salah scored twice as Liverpool thumped old rivals Manchester United 4-0 at Anfield on Tuesday to move top of the Premier League, for 24 hours at least. After a 5-0 win at Old Trafford in October, this was another humiliation of United by Juergen Klopp's team, who were barely threatened by their lifeless opponents. Liverpool moved to 76 points from 32 games with title rivals Manchester City on 74 points from one game fewer, with Pep Guardiola's side hosting Brighton and Hove

Liverpool manager Juergen Klopp said they deserved to go through to the quarter-finals of the Champions League despite Tuesday's 1-0 defeat by 10-man Inter Milan, but the German was not too pleased with his team's "slapstick" finishing. Liverpool progressed with a 2-1 aggregate victory but Klopp's side squandered a number of chances in the second leg, with Joel Matip heading against the bar and Mohamed Salah hitting the post twice. A superb drive into the top corner from Lautaro Martinez in the 62nd

Klopp confirmed widespread media reports that Liverpool made a move to bring in the 19-year-old on Monday's deadline day, only for the club to run out of time to complete the transfer - something that will not deter the Reds from trying again. "We will see with that. Of course, we are

As much as Aston Villa manager Steven Gerrard may protest that his mind is focused purely on his team beating Liverpool in the Premier League on Saturday, there can be no denying the emotions his return to Anfield will stir up. A Liverpudlian who joined the team's youth set-up as a nine-year-old, Gerrard went on to make 504 appearances for the club, most famously captaining them to their astonishing comeback in the 2005 Champions League final win over AC Milan. He played his

Liverpool's second-string side fought back to knock AC Milan out of Europe with a 2-1 victory at San Siro as goals from Mohamed Salah and Divock Origi helped the Reds become the first English team to win all six games in a Champions League group stage. Milan needed to win to stand any chance of progressing to the last 16 and went in front through their England defender Fikayo Tomori in the first half to cheer the home support. But Salah soon equalised

Liverpool manager Juergen Klopp urged forward Sadio Mane to control his emotions when opponents try to wind him up and "pay them back" with the quality of his football. Klopp was involved in an ugly altercation with Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta during Liverpool's 4-0 win last weekend after the Arsenal bench appealed for action to be taken against Mane for his aerial challenge on Takehiro Tomiyasu. Klopp said opposition players often try to antagonise Mane, who has scored nine goals for Liverpool in

All four goals came in a second half packed with the high-quality, high-tempo, end-to-end football that makes the Premier League so popular globally. Sadio Mane had put Liverpool ahead before Phil Foden equalised only for Mohamed Salah to restore the home side's advantage with a wonderful solo goal. But Kevin De Bruyne's 81st-minute equaliser ensured the teams shared

Liverpool right back Trent Alexander-Arnold will miss Sunday's home Premier League game against champions Manchester City due to a muscle injury, manager Juergen Klopp said on Thursday. The 22-year-old was absent for Liverpool's 5-1 win over Porto in the Champions League and omitted from England's squad for World Cup qualifiers against Andorra and Hungary.
