Liverpool's 3-0 victory over Arsenal on Saturday was a reminder of the quality that saw the champions still leading the standings in December before imploding. Without all the injuries, perhaps Liverpool would not be surrendering the Premier League title so easily to Manchester City.

LONDON: Jurgen Klopp has challenged Liverpool to salvage their troubled Premier League season with a late bid to finish in the top four. Klopp's side are languishing in seventh place and sit five points adrift of fourth-placed Chelsea in the race to qualify for next season's Champions League. The Reds' win over Wolves before the international break was only their fourth Premier League victory since Christmas during a spell in which they lost eight times. With just nine games remaining - starting with

Liverpool will use the international break and will instead use the opportunity to scout one of the most promising goalkeepers to come out of Turkey in recent times. According to Sport Witness via Asist Analiz, the Reds will have scouts in the stadium when Turkey face Norway to watch Ugurcan Cakir, the Trabzonspor goalkeeper. Liverpool have been tracking the player for some time now and could step up their efforts to sign him in the summer. Cakir joined the Turkish side in 2012 as a

WOLVERHAMPTON: Liverpool breathed new life into their chances of a top-four finish in the Premier League as Diogo Jota returned to haunt Wolves with the only goal in a 1-0 win at Molineux on Monday (Mar 15). A disappointing night for the hosts ended with a bigger concern than just the result as goalkeeper Rui Patricio had to be stretchered off after 15 minutes of treatment for a head injury after he collided with his own player Connor Coady in the closing stages.

Fabinho is "one of the best in the world at number six", Jurgen Klopp said after the Brazilian helped Liverpool beat RB Leipzig to reach the Champions League quarter-finals. The 27-year-old midfielder has had to fill in at centre-back for large parts of this season because of injuries to Virgil van Dijk and Joe Gomez, while also suffering from a number of fitness problems of his own. But restored to his preferred position in the centre of the Reds midfield, he excelled in

Liverpool waltzed to the Premier League title last season, but a campaign marred by injuries and poor form has left them in seventh on 43 points from 27 games, four points adrift of fourth place. Liverpool will not give up their pursuit of a top-four spot in the Premier League to focus solely on winning the Champions League, manager Jurgen Klopp has said.

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp does not believe a failure to finish in the Champions League places this season would lead to the exit of leading players from Anfield in the summer. The Premier League champions suffered a fifth home defeat in a row on Thursday when they were beaten 1-0 by Chelsea. Mohamed Salah looked frustrated when he was substituted in the loss, as the Reds fell four points off the top four. "I know we have loyalty from the players," said Klopp.

LIVERPOOL: Chelsea reclaimed their place in the Premier League's top four as Mason Mount's superb first-half goal earned them an impressive 1-0 victory at champions Liverpool on Thursday. Mount cut in to curl a low shot past Liverpool keeper Alisson in the 42nd minute, after Timo Werner had had a goal disallowed, to give Chelsea a deserved halftime lead. Thomas Tuchel's side then showed great defensive discipline to stand firm in the second period as Liverpool improved. Liverpool, who substituted a disgruntled Mohamed

LONDON: Former Liverpool and Scotland striker Ian St John, who followed a stellar career on the pitch by becoming a hugely popular and successful TV presenter, has died aged 82 after a long illness, the Premier League champions said on Tuesday (Mar 2).

Liverpool's Premier League title hopes are over and the main target now is to win the Champions League, forward Sadio Mane said. Liverpool ripped up the record books last season on the way to their first English top-flight title in 30 years, but a season marred by injuries and poor form has left the club sixth and trailing leaders Manchester City by 19 points. "Our target from the beginning was the Champions League, the Premier League and also Cup games. And now, I

Everton’s first win of any description over Liverpool since 2010 lifted Carlo Ancelotti’s seventh-placed side level with the champions on 40 points although they have played a game less. Twelve months ago Liverpool were ripping up the record books on the way to their first English top-flight title for 30 years but defeat by Everton on Saturday left them mulling a host of far less flattering statistics. Their 2-0 defeat at Anfield was their first loss at home to city rivals Everton since

Tuesday's win over RB Leipzig was not only the ideal result for Liverpool after their recent problems, it was pretty much the perfect performance too. Jurgen Klopp's side looked organised and hungry in the first leg of their Champions League last-16 tie, plus they played with such high intensity, and their pressing was really strong. After three successive Premier League defeats, it was like the old Liverpool was back - the team that has been so hard to stop in the past couple

Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mane struck in the space of five minutes near the start of the second half in an away leg played in Budapest's Puskas Arena because of Covid-19 restrictions. It came after the Reds had fallen to three straight defeats in the Premier League - results that have led Klopp to concede defeat in their defence of the English top-flight title. But Tuesday's display was far more like the dominant side of last season, with their greater experience and quality

An error by Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson helped Leicester come from behind to earn a 3-1 win on Saturday, with the champions losing three successive Premier League games for the first time since November 2014, when they were managed by Brendan Rodgers. Liverpool were forced into another defensive reshuffle due to Fabinho being injured, with January loan signing Ozan Kabak handed his debut. The 20-year-old’s slip let Jamie Vardy in in the first half, only for the Leicester striker to hit the crossbar. It
