👀 With #LFC floundering in front of goal, the return of Mohamed Salah could help provide the missing je ne sais quoi ahead of the trip to Marseille. The Reds can also breathe a sigh of relief at sidestepping further Marc Guehi transfer scrutiny despite big absence in open training.

🛫 Mohamed Salah has been included in #LFC's 20-man travelling squad for the trip to Marseille, but no Ibrahima Konate - who is already in France due to family reasons.

🔙 Mohamed Salah is back! ❌ But no Ibrahima Konate in #LFC open training...

😬 Marc Guehi has rubbed salt in #LFC wounds by claiming he has joined ‘the best club in England’ when explaining his decision to join #MCFC. 🗣️ “I am now at the best club in England and part of an unbelievable squad of players. It feels good to be able to say that.

🇦🇹 #LFC beat Inter Milan to the signing of Ifeanyi Ndukwe, who has been tipped to become a 'truly great centre-back' by his manager. But Austria U18s boss Hermann Stadler has a warning for the youngster as he also admitted his transfer regret.

😲 Trent Alexander-Arnold was left stunned as his Real Madrid team-mate, Brahim Diaz, missed a penalty in the #AFCON final. The former #LFC vice-captain's reaction was caught live on camera. But what he said beforehand hinted at what might follow...

🖇️ The biggest positive from #LFC's win over Barnsley was Hugo Ekitike and Florian Wirtz's cameos off the bench. The Reds have had to be patient with all of their new signings, but the pair are belatedly starting to forge a blossoming partnership.

🔴 Calvin Ramsay is unlikely to leave #LFC on loan after Conor Bradley's season-ending injury. The Scotland international believes his decision to stay with the Reds last summer has already been vindicated as he eyes up further first team opportunities.

👀 Jurgen Klopp has reacted to Xabi Alonso's exit as Real Madrid head coach. 🗣️ “There were definitely a few people who felt they had to contact me directly about it. I think it’s another sign that something isn’t quite right there at the moment.”

Another late goal for #LFC! Hugo Ekitike makes it 4-1 at the death as the Reds set up a fourth round clash with Brighton. Szoboszlai plays in Wirtz down the right with a ball over the top, who then squares it to Ekitike for a tap-in at the far post. #LIVBAR #FACup 🔗

GOAL! WIRTZ! It's another fine finish from Liverpool! Ekitike backheels Jones' pass into Wirtz's path and he curls it into the corner. Game over. #LFC #LIVBAR #FACup 🔗

GOAL! FRIMPONG! And it's another rocket! He gets the ball of Mac Allister, cuts inside from the right and leathers it home on his left foot. #LFC #LIVBAR #FACup 🔗

GOAL! SZOBOSZLAI! What a hit that was! Szoboszlai gets the ball off Mac Allister 25 yards from goal, is given space by Barnsley, and then leathers it into the top corner. Stunner. #LFC #LIVBAR #FACup 🔗

🆙️4️⃣🏆 #LFC #FACup

🔴 Michael Owen burst onto the scene as a teenager and became first-choice for #LFC almost overnight. He does not believe Rio Ngumoha or Trey Nyoni are ready to do the same. 🗣️ "Are they the next Wayne Rooney coming through? No. Are they better than some of the great players at Liverpool have got?"

🇮🇹 Federico Chiesa has remained limited to a bit-part role at #LFC despite the Reds' recent absentees. He's set for an opportunity in the FA Cup vs Barnsley, but Arne Slot's actions speak louder than words. He continues to be linked with a move away and can't escape brutal transfer reality.

🇪🇬 Mohamed Salah had a point to prove and a score to settle when he departed for #AFCON. Jamie Carragher's words about winning nothing with Egypt will have been ringing in his ears. The #LFC star is enjoying a tournament to remember. Set to face off against Sadio Mane, he will be out for revenge.

🚨 Conor Bradley has been ruled out for the season after suffering a 'significant knee injury' in #LFC's draw with #AFC. Scans have shown he avoided an ACL injury, but suffered damage to both bone and ligaments in his left knee. The 22-year-old will now undergo surgery before starting rehab.

🤔 Manuel Akanji or Harry Wilson to #LFC, anyone? Stephane Henchoz seems to think so!

👀 Yan Diomande has revealed it would be a dream come true to play for #LFC, while Christos Tzolis has opened the door to a 'crazy' January move to Anfield.

🤔 Arne Slot is expected to ring the changes when #LFC host Barnsley. With the Reds not at their best in front of goal in recent weeks, he could revamp the attack with Federico Chiesa and Rio Ngumoha two of the players poised to benefit.

💰 #LFC were already short defensively before Conor Bradley's injury. If he faces a lengthy lay-off, Arne Slot is down to just six senior options to cover four positions. They would be wise to bring forward their transfer plans.

🇸🇳 #LFC's latest signing, Mor Talla Ndiaye, has revealed Sadio Mane's role in him completing a 'dream' move to Anfield.

🎯 Mohamed Salah now has more goals for Egypt than #LFC this season (6-5) after firing the Pharaohs through to the #AFCON quarter-finals. Unleashed in a new position, it could give Arne Slot something to think about when he returns to Anfield. 🗣️ "I am training him to play in different positions."

👀 Oliver Glasner was previously adamant that Marc Guehi would finish the season at #CPFC, after helping block #LFC's £35m swoop back in the summer. But he's seemingly softened his stance as #MCFC weigh up making a mid-season move for the defender.

🔢 #LFC have twice missed the opportunity to strengthen their grip on the top four in 2026. While club bosses kept faith in Arne Slot, #CFC and #MUFC sacked Enzo Maresca and Ruben Amorim. Their challenges are not over. The Reds have to improve.

🚨 Liverpool starting XI vs Leeds United: Alisson; Bradley, Konate, Van Dijk, Robertson; Gravenberch, Jones; Frimpong, Szoboszlai, Wirtz; Ekitike. Subs: Mamardashvili, Kerkez, Mac Allister, Chiesa, Gakpo, Nyoni, Ramsay, Ngumoha, Lucky. #LFC #LIVLEE 🔗

🎆 A wet and cold start to the year at Anfield. #LFC

❌ Arne Slot was seemingly blocked from hiring his first-choice as #LFC’s set-piece coach because of work permit issues. 🗣️ "Etienne Reijnen is still at Feyenoord. The set-pieces are a strength at Feyenoord, and Reijnen still takes care of them."

🧐 No sign of Florian Wirtz in #LFC team training yesterday. But even if just precautionary and he's available to face #LUFC, Arne Slot could still be left without the services of at least five senior players.

🇮🇹 Federico Chiesa has already admitted he would be open to a return to Juventus as the Serie A giants reportedly weigh up making a move for the #LFC forward.

🇪🇬 Mohamed Salah has been benched by Egypt for their final #AFCON group game as they make wholesale changes with their place in the KO stages already secure. He will miss at least two more #LFC matches as a result, with an Arsenal return also in doubt.

🦅 Oliver Glasner has made his January exit stance on Marc Guehi clear with blunt response after Arne Slot recently offered an #LFC transfer hint.

GOAL! WIRTZ! Lovely goal, that. Great run from Ekitike down the left before threading it through to Wirtz to finish one-on-one. The wait is over! A week after claiming his first Premier League assist, he now has his first Liverpool goal! #LFC #LIVWOL 🔗

GOAL! GRAVENBERCH! A goal made in the Netherlands! Great run from Frimpong as he skips past two defenders before cutting it back to Gravenberch to finish first time into the bottom corner. And he celebrates by doing Diogo Jota's baby shark goal celebration. #LFC #LIVWOL 🔗

🚨 Liverpool starting XI vs Wolves: Alisson; Frimpong, Konate, Van Dijk, Kerkez; Gravenberch, Jones; Chiesa, Mac Allister, Wirtz; Ekitike. Subs: Mamardashvili, Woodman, Bradley, Gakpo, Robertson, Nyoni, Ramsay, Ngumoha, Lucky. #LFC #LIVWOL 🔗

🏟 For the last time in 2025... #LFC

🇳🇱 Jeremie Frimpong hasn't started in the Premier League since the opening day of the season. That will likely change vs Wolves, but he's needed in two different positions thanks to #LFC's worsening injury woes. He's ready to make up for lost time but Arne Slot is being forced to take a big risk.

🤕 Arne Slot has admitted #LFC face an anxious wait after Alexander Isak and Conor Bradley were both forced off against #THFC, as he revealed his 'gut feeling' on the double injury blow. But there was better news about Jeremie Frimpong.

GOAL! EKITIKE MAKES IT TWO! Lovely looping header from the in-form Frenchman into the top corner as he rises highest to connect with Frimpong's cross. #LFC #TOTLIV 🔗

GOAL! ISAK! Lovely move and a lovely finish. Ekitike plays it through to Wirtz, who slots in Isak to finish first-time. Another PL goal for Isak, and a first PL assist for Wirtz. But Isak was clobbered by Van de Ven when finishing and has stayed down. Frimpong coming on for him. #LFC #TOTLIV 🔗

Less than 10 minutes until kick-off as Liverpool look to extend their unbeaten run and close the gap on the top four. Follow LIVE updates from the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium with me, @ptgorst.bsky.social and @iandoylesport.bsky.social 👇 #LFC #TOTLIV 🔗

🚨 Liverpool starting XI vs Spurs: Liverpool: Alisson; Bradley, Konate, Van Dijk, Kerkez; Gravenberch, Jones; Szoboszlai, Mac Allister, Wirtz; Ekitike. Subs: Mamardashvili, Isak, Chiesa, Robertson, Frimpong, Nyoni, Ramsay, Ngumoha, Lucky. #LFC #TOTLIV 🔗

🏟 All set for the last one before Christmas 🎄 #LFC

🦅 Oliver Glasner has shot down the possibility of Marc Guehi leaving #CPFC in January, while Steve Parish has pointed the finger at #LFC for why the defender's summer transfer collapsed. 🗣️ "I don’t know why they did that."

🔟 Bayern Munich bosses have insinuated that Florian Wirtz rejected them because he couldn't have their number 10 shirt, but was promised it by #LFC - only for them to renege on such an offer after he signed. A bizarre accusation, and one he already issued the perfect response to!

❌ 🇪🇬 Mohamed Salah was left out of the Egypt squad for tonight's friendly with Nigeria. Admittedly not in anywhere near as dramatic circumstances as recent events at #LFC, but that's now six games for club and country since he last started. The Egypt captain will put that right at AFCON next week.

😬 Lautaro Martinez is still bemoaning the 'injustice' of Inter Milan's loss to #LFC last week, while one former Arsenal star has called the decision to award the Reds a penalty 'the death of football'.

❌ #LFC could be left without as many as seven senior players when they travel to #THFC this weekend as Arne Slot's injury woes worsen.
