25+ min ago (315+ words) Sunderland midfielder Enzo Le Fee believes their performance at Anfield showed exactly why they belong in the Premier League. The Black Cats pushed Liverpool all the way in a 11 draw that they might easily have turned into a famous win at the death. Regis Le Bris and his players have a growing reputation as one of the Premier League's most awkward visitors after winning at Stamford Bridge and securing a draw at both Selhurst Park and now Anfield. Speaking to BBC Radio Newcastle, Le Fee reflected on the team's mentality, their ability to rise to big occasions and the belief that is quietly building inside the camp. Asked how close Sunderland were to winning at Anfield, Le Fee said: "It could be another night, but this is football, you have to be proud of us because we did well. We…...

Mr Farage, who bemoaned Labour's decision to axe local contests across Reform-leaning areas earlier this year, suggested the Prime Minister was stifling his momentum through the allegedly democracy-denying decision. Four new combined authorities - Essex, Suffolk & Norfolk, Hampshire & the Solent and Sussex & Brighton - look set to have polls pushed back by two years. Ministers are expected to confirm the delay later today, The Sun has revealed. Responding to the delay, Mr Farage said: "For the second year running, this failing Labour Government will now cancel elections in areas they fear that Reform will win. These are the actions of…...

37+ min ago (410+ words) The wider direction of our season continues to be debated even though small details on the pitch are beginning to tell a more encouraging story. Ian Kennedy of BBC Sport argued that sometimes a campaign hinges on moments that "flick a switch from off to on," using Federico Chiesa's stoppage-time chase and clearance against Sunderland as an example. Speaking on BBC Radio Merseyside, the reporter suggested that the Italian's last-ditch intervention might be the incident that helps Liverpool rediscover confidence after a bruising run. His point was grounded in the fact that we have barely been able to rescue anything recently, with nine defeats in twelve matches before the win at West Ham, making a late draw feel almost alien. Kennedy added that if we can pick something up at Leeds and stretch this unbeaten run, "even with the odd…...

The former Liverpool star has suffered a difficult start to life at the Bernabeu after battling with a hamstring injury in September. That injury kept him out for a month and his lack of match fitness has limited him to just five starts in La Liga this season. And Alexander-Arnold will be frustrated to pick up another problem when he was just starting to build momentum in the team under manager Xabi Alonso. He only returned to action at the start of last month and had started the last four games for Madrid. He impressed against Bilbao and assisted Kylian Mbappe's opening goal in the seventh minute....
