It has been mentioned that the Reds are eyeing a move to bring the German centre-back to Anfield next year. Schlotterbeck has managed to be a rock at the back for Dortmund this season after putting in a run of solid displays for them on the defensive end of the field.

23+ min ago (237+ words) Liverpool step back into Premier League action with Brighton arriving at Anfield, and the story swirling above everything is Mohamed Salah. His omission from the Champions League win at Inter Milan has dominated talk throughout the week. He will be at Anfield, but reportedly he will not be in the squad. Liverpool vs Brighton is set for a 3pm GMT kick off on Saturday, December 13, 2025, at Anfield. It falls under the traditional blackout period so there is no live television coverage in the UK. Liverpool's build up has been shaped almost entirely by Salah's situation. Slot is expected to address the situation regarding the No11's status during his pre match press conference, but signs point to a watching brief rather than a playing return. Brighton bring familiar faces and fresh variables. James Milner may return to face his former club, while…...

46+ min ago (505+ words) Noni Madueke has won the Champions League Player of the Week award following his heroics for Arsenal. The former Chelsea winger delivered a superb display for Mikel Arteta's table-toppers in the league phase in Belgium on Wednesday night, scoring twice in a 3-0 victory over Club Brugge. Madueke was the star of the show at Jan Breydel Stadium, breaking the deadlock after 25 minutes as he embarked on a brilliant run off the right flank and smashed in a fantastic strike off the crossbar. The England international was electric all night and doubled dominant Arsenal's advantage shortly after the break, heading in Martin Zubimendi's pinpoint cross from close range at the back post. Madueke deservedly won the Player of the Match award in Bruges but has now received an even more prestigious prize, named Champions League Player of the Week by UEFA....

48+ min ago (184+ words) Real Madrid head coach Xabi Alonso will see his job put on the line in the club's meeting with Deportivo Alav's this weekend. This comes amid the understanding that, should the former midfielder not manage a return to winning ways on Sunday, he will be sacked with immediate effect. Speculation surrounding the future of tactician Alonso in Spain's capital has of course returned to the forefront of the headlines over the last 24 hours. As much comes after Real Madrid were put to the sword by Manchester City in the Champions League. This marked Los Blancos' 2nd defeat on the spin, and means that they have won just two of the club's last eight fixtures across all competitions. Such woes have thrown Alonso's position on the touchline very much up in the air. And though Real's players collectively rallied around their headmaster…...

1+ hour, 41+ min ago (370+ words) Liverpool will entertain Brighton at Anfield on Saturday night as they look to earn a positive result at home in the Premier League. The Reds managed to earn a narrow 1-0 win over Inter Milan recently, which should give them a ton of confidence ahead of this game. Arne Slot will set his players up in a 4-1-2-1-2 formation and is expected to keep changes to a minimum for this contest. Hence, Hugo Ekitike and Alexander Isak will once again lead the charge for Liverpool up top. Alisson Becker will function in goal for the Merseyside club after keeping a clean sheet in his last outing. Ibrahima Konate will operate alongside Virgil Van Dijk at the centre of Slot's backline as they try to keep things solid defensively during the game. Joe Gomez will once again fill in as the right-back, while…...

Goals from Christantus Uche, Eddie Nketiah and Yeremy Pino sealed the points for Palace, who are just a point outside the top eight with a game to play. Palace face KuPS in their league phase finale next Thursday. Three points ahead of 25th-placed KuPS with a four-goal advantage in goal difference, they are all but assured of a place in the knockout rounds, but they will be desperate to clinch a top-eight spot and avoid the…...

2+ hour, 8+ min ago (606+ words) Liverpool could be forgiven for having other priorities on their plate right now other than the performance of their loan players. But it is an elephant in the room that is going to need addressing in January. The club completed "450m worth of spending in the summer transfer window. And several players were cleared out in order to make way for the new arrivals. Among the departures were James McConnell, Lewis Koumas, Kostas Tsimikas and Harvey Elliott. All moved on loan - with Elliott initially expected to complete a permanent deal to Aston Villa at the end of his temporary spell. But these deals have all gone wrong and there is a chance that we see all make their way back to base with their deals cut short. McConnell moved to Ajax as part of John Heitinga's revolution in Amsterdam. But Arne…...
