4+ min ago (601+ words) Arne Slot is expected to reshuffle his pack for Liverpool's third game in seven days, with Mohamed Salah among those likely to come back in away to Leeds. The Reds are on a run of seven games in 22 days and Saturday will mark their third game in the space of a week. After a 2-0 win over West Ham and a deflating 1-1 draw with Sunderland, with Slot making just one change to his side between those two, the likelihood is that new faces come in at Leeds. So how could Liverpool line up in their 5.30pm kickoff? From Slot's pre-match press conference and the draw with Sunderland, we know the following: " Conor Bradley is back in training and no new injuries " Joe Gomez nursed a knock to start against Sunderland " Florian Wirtz and Alexander Isak started twice in four days after injury…...

4+ min ago (503+ words) Liverpool have their eye on Man Utd manager target Oliver Glasner at Crystal Palace if they decide to sack Arne Slot, according to reports. Slot and Red Devils boss Ruben Amorim are coming under lots of pressure with Liverpool particularly underperforming this season in the Premier League. After winning their first seven matches in all competitions, Liverpool have won just four of their next 14 and there are rumours that Slot could lose his job if things continue down the same path. Their 1-1 draw against Sunderland on Wednesday night means they are currently ninth in the table, one place behind arch-rivals Man Utd, who were also held to a 1-1 draw on Thursday by West Ham. And now Caught Offside claims that Liverpool duo Richard Hughes and Michael Edwards "both understood to be seriously considering Crystal Palace manager Oliver Glasner as a…...

9+ min ago (651+ words) Manchester United legend Roy Keane hit out at his former club after their disappointing 1-1 home draw against West Ham United on Thursday night. The Red Devils have reverted to type since their five-game unbeaten run in the Premier League ended, as results and performances have declined. Ruben Amorim's side suffered one of their worst defeats of their season last week as they lost 1-0 to 10-man Everton, while they were unconvincing in the 2-1 victory against a sub-par Crystal Palace side last weekend. On Thursday evening, Man Utd missed a chance to enter the Champions League places as they strolled to a 1-1 draw against Premier League strugglers West Ham at Old Trafford. Naturally, Keane was far from happy with what he saw from Man Utd against West Ham as they are "lack strength in depth, while Mason Mount "was like a schoolboy....

12+ min ago (598+ words) A Liverpool MP has said a statement by a police body which criticised a new report into the Hillsborough disaster was "disgraceful". West Derby Labour MP Ian Byrne has written to the Police Federation of England & Wales to complain about the tone and substance of the South Yorkshire Police Federation statement released on Tuesday. It claimed the Independent Officer for Police Conduct's (IOPC) final report into police actions on the day of the disaster in Sheffield in 1989 was "opinion dressed up as fact" and "a waste of taxpayers' money". Byrne, who survived the tragedy, said it had been a "damning indictment" of the behaviour of many senior officers in the South Yorkshire force. The IOPC report found 12 officers involved in the stadium crush, 10 from South Yorkshire and two from the West Midlands force, would have faced charges of gross misconduct…...

54+ min ago (533+ words) A January exit would help Salah preserve the legacy he deserves on Merseyside Several Saudi Arabian clubs are willing to return with another bid for Mohamed Salah in January, this time on reduced terms. Confidence is high the Egyptian could finally be persuaded to move. Salah has long been coveted as the one player who can take the Saudi Pro League to new heights, with various record bids rejected by Liverpool over the past few years. However, The i Paper has been told funds could be made available for at least two clubs to bid for an out-of-favour Salah in January. This time the offer, according to one well-placed source, will not come close to the "200m Al-Ittihad placed on the table two years ago. "Several senior figures at PIF (Saudi's Public Investment Fund) and within the Pro League believe the…...

57+ min ago (199+ words) We want to bring him into more threatening situations" Conor Bradley available for Saturday"s trip to Leeds Arne Slot has conceded Liverpool are not bringing the best out of record signing Alexander Isak and must maximise his strengths in the manner Manchester City do with Erling Haaland. "He is not the only No 9 who suffers in some games from not getting many chances," said Slot, who has Conor Bradley back from injury for Saturday"s trip to Leeds. "At this level it"s not like the No 9 is involved in eight, nine, 10 chances every single half. But it is obvious and clear that we want to bring him into more threatening situations. "Before we went to only one goal conceded in two games [West Ham and Sunderland] we had a lot of chances. Because we are a little bit…...

1+ hour, 19+ min ago (544+ words) Arne Slot believes his Liverpool side have taken a significant step forward in the last week even after they dropped more points in Wednesday's 1-1 home draw with Sunderland. Last Sunday's 2-0 win at West Ham ended a run of three straight defeats that had included a 3-0 home loss to Nottingham Forest and a 4-1 defeat to PSV Eindhoven, both at Anfield. But there was more frustration for the home faithful in midweek as Liverpool needed a late Nordi Mukiele own goal and a stoppage-time goalline clearance from Federico Chiesa to take a point against the Black Cats, who led through Chemsdine Talbi. "Four points out of two games is different from the last two home games we've played, in which we lost both and conceded seven goals," Slot said ahead of Saturday's trip to Leeds. "In the last two games, we were…...

1+ hour, 24+ min ago (557+ words) Isak managed just 14 touches against Sunderland as Liverpool were held to a 1-1 draw Arne Slot has rebuffed criticism of Alexander Isak's lack of involvement for Liverpool by drawing comparisons to the Premier League's most prolific striker, Erling Haaland. British record signing Isak is yet to prove his worth at Liverpool and only boasts two goals in 12 appearances, with it taking until last weekend for the Swede to finally notch his first Premier League strike of the season. But unlike fellow "100m man Florian Wirtz, there have been little signs of improvement in terms of Isak's wider play, often struggling to get involved in Liverpool's attacking moves. He managed just 13 touches in 68 minutes against West Ham last Sunday, followed by 14 touches in 86 minutes versus Sunderland in midweek. While recognising that Isak and his teammates must do more to get the best out…...

1+ hour, 24+ min ago (291+ words) Liverpool manager Arne Slot believes Mohamed Salah has been very influential for the club despite starting on the bench in recent games. (1:54) Arne Slot has admitted Liverpool's "first aim" this season is getting into the top four after winning just two of their last nine Premier League games. The defending champions dropped yet more points on Wednesday night when they drew 1-1 with newly promoted Sunderland at Anfield. It leaves them ninth in the table ahead of this weekend's clash with Leeds United, although they are still just two points behind Chelsea in fourth. "For me, this tells us how good the Premier League is this season, as it already was last season but it gets better and better every single season -- for obvious reasons, because everybody has so much money," Slot said. "That tells you how close the margins still…...
