Mane a doubt for Brighton clash

Leave a reply

Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp has revealed that Sadio Mane is a doubt for their final game against the season. The Senegalese international, who forms one part of their attacking trident alongside Philippe Coutinho and Mohamed Salah, has picked up a “fresh injury” according to Klopp.

Liverpool need only a point from their final game against Brighton to seal CL football for next season. If they somehow lose to the team they thumped 5-1 at the Amex Stadium in December and Chelsea win against Newcastle on the final day of the season, then Klopp’s men would have to beat Real Madrid in the Champions League final in Kyiv. A result against Brighton should, on paper, be easier to achieve, with the Seagulls having nothing really to play for and Liverpool having a great record at home. The Reds will also be playing in their new kit. Continue reading →

Rock band Echo and the Bunnymen were due to perform at Birmingham’s Symphony Hall on May 26, and opted to rearrange their gig and move it to May 29th because it was clashing with Liverpool’s Champions League final.

They released a statement on Facebook, which lead to outrage from disgruntled fans who were upset at having to cancel their travel and hotel bookings. Following the outcry, they changed their decision and opted to keep the gig on the 26th itself.

Chaos, we must say!

Round 38- LFC to secure fourth place and Swansea to be relegated?

Leave a reply

This Sunday, all twenty Premier League teams will have played all of their 38 games of the season and will find out their final position in the league table. There isn’t much to play for at the top of the league with the title already being secured by Manchester City a few weeks ago, and United confirming second spot with their point away at the London Stadium on Thursday. Spurs’ midweek victory over Newcastle and Chelsea’s draw at home against Huddersfield means that the Lilywhites are certain to finish in the top four, with the Blues’ chances of CL football hinging on a victory for them and a loss for Liverpool at home to Brighton.

Rival watch | Chelsea draw, Spurs win

Leave a reply

Liverpool only need a point from their final home game against Brighton and Hove Albion after Chelsea slipped up in midweek against Huddersfield Town. The Blues needed to win to draw level with the Reds, but could only manage a 1-1 draw which left Huddersfield fans in delight as the promoted Terriers secured their spot in the Premier League for another season.

Town went ahead through Depoitre and although Marcos Alonso managed an equaliser for Chelsea, they couldn’t find another goal for the three points they so desperately needed.

The result means that Chelsea are now two behind Liverpool with a game to play. Their last game is against Newcastle, who lost to Spurs in midweek, giving the Lilywhites third spot and a confirmed spot in the Champions League next season.

Liverpool, it must be remembered, have NOT lost a league game at home this season!

Che HUD

Going into the final day of the season

Spurs (3rd)- 74 points (+37 GD)
LFC (4th)- 72 points (+42 GD)
Chelsea (5th)- 70 points (+27 GD)

Since the formation of the Premier League in 1992, the competition has grown into the biggest and most watched domestic league in the world with millions of fans tuning in every week to watch their favourite players and clubs in action.

Werner to LFC rumours quashed? Brewster to be promoted instead?

Leave a reply

We had reported a couple of days ago that the German press were linking Liverpool with a move for Timo Werner in the summer, but if the Echo is to be believed, the Reds are in fact, NOT interested in acquiring the player with Jurgen Klopp thinking of promoting promising youngster Rhian Brewster to the first team in 2018/19.

After the winter departure of Philippe Coutinho to Barcelona, Liverpool have a front three of Mane, Firmino and Salah but their replacements aren’t at the same level (perennially injured Sturridge, currently out on loan, Ings and young Solanke), which would make another signing quite understandable.

Timo Werner to Liverpool? German press links LFC with another Leipzig player

Leave a reply

If the press in Germany are to be believed, Liverpool are keeping tabs on Leipzig’s young striker Timo Werner. The Reds have already agreed a deal with the German outfit to sign Naby Keita in the summer and now allegedly have the striker on their wishlist too.

Werner could potentially fit in well with Liverpool- they have a German manager in Klopp and have a front three (Salah, Mane, Firmino) whom Klopp is reluctant to rotate owing to the drop in quality of their replacements.

A transfer fee of something close to the 100 million euro mark has been mooted. Werner recently helped Leipzig claim their first ever victory over Bayern, but RBL might not be willing to sell two key players in the same transfer window.
