The proverbial injury added to insult occurred in midweek when Liverpool lost to Galatasaray in the UEFA Champions League competition. The Reds also lost their starting goalkeeper, Alisson Becker, due to a groin injury. It remains to be seen how long Alisson will be out, but Reds boss Arne Slot was very definitive, and actually quite colorful, in ruling the Brazilian shot … [Read more...] about Liverpool Team News at Chelsea: Alisson Becker, Hugo Ekitike, Federico Chiesa

Liverpool Team News at Crystal Palace: Hugo Ekitike, Giovanni Leoni
Liverpool striker Hugo Ekitike now finds himself suspended for Saturday's Premier League fixture at Crystal Palace after he got two yellow card bookings versus Southampton last night. The first yellow came after he punched the ball away, 53 minutes in. The second yellow (and thus the red) came when he over-celebrated the game-winning goal. Ekitike then took his shirt off and … [Read more...] about Liverpool Team News at Crystal Palace: Hugo Ekitike, Giovanni Leoni
Liverpool Team News, Starting XI Prediction vs Southampton
Liverpool FC were not at their most absolute world-beating best yesterday, but it was still enough to claim the Merseyside derby. Liverpool bested Everton 2-1, and emerged unscathed from injury. With midfielder Curtis Jones coming back into the mix, and featuring off the bench, Arne Slot's side is nearing full fitness right now. Perfect time, as fixture congestion season is now … [Read more...] about Liverpool Team News, Starting XI Prediction vs Southampton
Liverpool Starting XI Prediction vs Atletico Madrid (Champions League)
Should we see some squad rotation, of sorts, from Liverpool manager Arne Slot on Wednesday night vs Atletico Madrid? Probably so, but maybe not in the truest sense of the term. After all "squad rotation" most often implies that you're bringing in players who are only the quality of reserves. That is obviously not the case at Anfield, where the level of depth and talent is as … [Read more...] about Liverpool Starting XI Prediction vs Atletico Madrid (Champions League)
Liverpool Starting Lineup Prediction at Burnley FC
Liverpool had a great international break! No one got injured, their players who were nursing injuries healed up and their rivals now have more injury concerns. It's a good time to be a Liverpool supporter, and the next match, at least on paper, looks like a win. They'll visit newly promoted Burnley FC, a side over which they have a great advantage talent wise and depth wise. … [Read more...] about Liverpool Starting Lineup Prediction at Burnley FC
Liverpool FC Starting Lineup Prediction vs Arsenal
No one really likes international breaks. Well, the fans and media certainly do not. Neither do the coaches, as their players often get hurt while on international duty. However, at least this time we have a wonderfully mouth-watering fixture to send us into it- Arsenal and Liverpool FC. It's top of the table versus third place, and basically a matchup that really needs no … [Read more...] about Liverpool FC Starting Lineup Prediction vs Arsenal
Liverpool FC Starting Lineup Prediction at Newcastle United
When Liverpool FC line up versus Newcastle United on Monday night, the main concern will be at the right back position. Jeremie Frimpong is out for several weeks with a hamstring injury while Conor Bradley is still working his way back to match fitness, and is thus doubtful for this match. So who is the third choice at the position? Well, Wataru Endo came on to replace … [Read more...] about Liverpool FC Starting Lineup Prediction at Newcastle United
Liverpool Starting Lineup Prediction vs AFC Bournemouth
That was not the way Liverpool FC wanted things to start out for them this term. The Community Shield is obviously a quasi-friendly, sort of, despite the fact that it's a trophy match. However, you got to give Crystal Palace their flowers- it took them forever to get that first piece of silverware, and now they have two, just like that! Anyway, you can't dwell on it for too … [Read more...] about Liverpool Starting Lineup Prediction vs AFC Bournemouth
Liverpool Starting Lineup Prediction vs Athletic Club
Time to reflect, ahead of the friendly against Athletic Club. The summer 2025 has been both the best of times, and the worst of times for Liverpool FC. The lows? Obviously, the tragic loss of Diogo Jota, a true member of the Merseyside family. The highs? Dominating the summer transfer window, and strengthening a side that is already coming off a Premier League title. … [Read more...] about Liverpool Starting Lineup Prediction vs Athletic Club
Hugo Ekitike Set for Liverpool Medical Ahead of £79m Transfer
Liverpool FC have beaten Newcastle United to the signing of Eintracht Frankfurt striker Hugo Ekitike. St. James Park thought they had a deal lined up for the 23-year-old Frenchman, but apparently Liverpool have "hijacked it." Don't you love how media use the word "hijack" whenever a new team comes in and gets the player that a club had been pursuing? How close was Ekitike to … [Read more...] about Hugo Ekitike Set for Liverpool Medical Ahead of £79m Transfer
