Jeremy Jacquet is set to land in the U.K. in next few minutes to complete the formalities of his £60m move from Rennes to Liverpool.

Liverpool and Rennes have agreed a £55m +£5m deal for defender Jeremy Jacquet to move to Anfield in the summer.

Dominik Szoboszlai has insisted his future is "not in my hands" amid ongoing contract talks with Liverpool, adding: "I like the city, I like the club, I like playing with these guys, I love Anfield, I love the fans, let’s see what the future holds. It is not on me."

Lutsharel Gertruida is one of the options Liverpool are considering as they chase defensive reinforcements before the end of the transfer window. The Dutchman is currently on loan at Sunderland, which I’m told makes the move slightly complicated.

A superb show of fight and quality from Liverpool tonight to come through a difficult first half-hour and then produce that performance. They were outstanding to a man, but a word for Ibrahima Konate, who was flawless on his first game back since the passing of his father.

Liverpool to face Newcastle: Alisson, Szoboszlai, Konate, Van Dijk, Kerkez, Mac Allister, Gravenberch, Wirtz, Salah, Ekitike, Gakpo. Subs: Mamardashvili, Endo, Chiesa, Jones, Robertson, Nyoni, Ramsay, Nallo, Ngumoha.

Curtis Jones is available to face Newcastle; Joe Gomez ruled out but isn't far away.

Jeremie Frimpong set to be out for "a few weeks", Arne Slot says, but not as bad as Liverpool feared. Ibrahima Konate is back in training and available to face Newcastle.

Arne Slot is absolutely right to push back on the constant bad-faith twisting of his words that is rampant on social media of late. But that doesn't mean he couldn't also help himself in press conferences - not mentioning PSG so often would be a start. www.davidlynchlfc.co.uk/p/slot-is-ri...

The Champions League is like a different sport to the Premier League this season, and Liverpool are much better at the former. Could they go deep in the competition as a result? www.youtube.com/watch?v=AwOZ...

You can say it's only Qarabag (and they drew with Chelsea this season, by the way), but how many times have Liverpool so convincingly dispatched an opponent this season? A fantastic performance and result to take them straight through to the Champions League knockouts.

Liverpool to Qarabag: Alisson, Frimpong, Gravenberch, Van Dijk, Robertson, Szoboszlai, Mac Allister, Wirtz, Salah, Ekitike, Gakpo. Subs: Mamardashvili, Woodman, Endo, Kerkez, Chiesa, Nyoni, Nallo, Morrison, Ngumoha.

Liverpool may have seen a 13-match unbeaten run end tonight, but they've won five of their last 18 Premier League games and sit 12th in the form table over that time. Really bad, and for a sustained period. www.youtube.com/watch?v=iIox...

Liverpool got everything they deserved for another utterly abject performance tonight. Bournemouth had won one in 14 prior to this, but they were up against a side that has been in bottom-half form since September. This squad is flawed, but should they be this bad? Not a chance.

Arne Slot asked if he believes Liverpool will end the January window without new additions: "That's what I expect, yeah."

It can't have been easy for Arne Slot to stick with Milos Kerkez when both men were under pressure earlier this season. But the Dutchman is being rewarded with performances that make you wonder why there was such an eagerness to write his left-back off. www.davidlynchlfc.co.uk/p/kerkez-has...

A summer that saw Liverpool swap Diaz for Wirtz, sign two strikers, and add Kerkez and Frimpong's profiles seemed aimed at a move away from wingers to a narrow midfield with flying full-backs. Is it any coincidence they look best in this setup? www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Dx8...

Thought that was a textbook Champions League away performance from Liverpool tonight. Quietened the crowd, controlled it, and created enough chances to win comfortably. Huge credit to Arne Slot for the setup that earned a really important win in terms of the top eight.

Liverpool’s U19s played a friendly against Marseille this afternoon, scheduled because the UEFA Youth League only has a six-game group stage. They were beaten 2-0, with Will Wright, Calum Scanlon and Kieran Morrison among those involved.

There’s a misconception that any debate over Arne Slot’s future is confined to the lunatic fringe of Liverpool’s online support, but there were boos at full-time at Anfield again today. youtu.be/smPr-G8Lirs?...

It's this year's Liverpool down to a tee to put on their best, most balanced performance up against a low block all season and still somehow find a way not to win the game. These days can happen, but it's so much harder to justify when you've dropped so many points already.

Liverpool to face Burnley: Alisson, Frimpong, Konate, Van Dijk, Kerkez, Gravenberch, Jones, Szoboszlai, Gakpo, Ekitike, Wirtz. Subs: Mamardashvili, Gomez, Endo, Mac Allister, Chiesa, Robertson, Nyoni, Ramsay, Ngumoha.

Today feels like a big opportunity for Liverpool to show they can get their attack going again after recent struggles and unpick the sort of low block they face most weeks.

Arne Slot says no new injuries to report.

Florian Wirtz’s early training sessions had many at Liverpool believing he was about to take the Premier League by storm immediately. It’s taken a little longer than that, of course, but the German is now starting to show just how good he is. www.davidlynchlfc.co.uk/p/how-wirtz-...

A big win for Liverpool in the end, but it's another game that throws up questions. Barnsley were hugely impressive and credit to them, but should a side in the lower reaches of League One be able to make it this close against that line-up at Anfield?

Liverpool to face Barnsley: Mamardashvili, Frimpong, Gomez, Van Dijk, Robertson, Mac Allister, Jones, Szoboszlai, Chiesa, Gakpo, Ngumoha. Subs: Alisson, Endo, Konate, Kerkez, Wirtz, Ekitike, Gravenberch, Nyoni, Ramsay.

Liverpool will face Brighton at Anfield in the fourth round of the FA Cup, should they beat Barnsley this evening.

Liverpool have signed three young centre-halves in January and are targeting a fourth. Here's the inside track on their strategy and who is at the heart of it. www.davidlynchlfc.co.uk/p/liverpool-...

Liverpool have signed three young centre-halves in January and are targeting a fourth. Here's the inside track on their strategy and who is at the heart of it. www.davidlynchlfc.co.uk/p/liverpool-...

I know Liverpool didn't create much tonight, but you can surely excuse that when it's the league leaders away from home and you're missing so many forwards? Thought they were otherwise impressive. www.youtube.com/watch?v=LFpM...

There have been a few draws in this now-10-game unbeaten run that have felt disappointing, but this definitely wasn't one of them. A committed, intelligent performance from Liverpool, and they earn a fully deserved point as a result.

Arne Slot uncertain whether Hugo Ekitike will be available train today. Could miss tomorrow's trip to Arsenal if not.

Arne Slot is right to say his team didn't give up much to Fulham today but, in this league, that's still enough to concede twice. That's why top teams have to do so much more going forward than Liverpool are. If this gets fourth, should it really save him? www.youtube.com/watch?v=4bpC...

Obviously that's a remarkable way for the draw to come about but, for me, Liverpool's performance didn't really deserve any more. This brand of football has made them harder to beat but it doesn't produce enough in attack and so they're always walking the tightrope.

Arne Slot says Hugo Ekitike picked up a slight hamstring injury because of his recent workload. Liverpool hopeful he will be back to face Arsenal.

It feels like the remainder of this season is a trial in which Arne Slot must prove he deserves to stay on as Liverpool manager. If that is the case, he needs the attack to look so much better than they have recently, not least the second half today. youtu.be/AyOrnCzaVb8?...

Liverpool have given up a lot of attacking thrust to solidify themselves in recent weeks and so you felt they were always running the risk of one of these games happening. A three-point cushion in fourth place is a positive but this was a disappointing result.

Liverpool to face Leeds United: Alisson, Bradley, Konate, Van Dijk, Robertson, Gravenberch, Jones, Szoboszlai, Frimpong, Wirtz, Ekitike. Subs: Mamardashvili, Kerkez, Mac Allister, Chiesa, Gakpo, Ramsay, Nyoni, Ngumoha, Lucky.

A big opportunity for Liverpool to earn some breathing room in the top four race, and even close in on third-placed Aston Villa. Can they take it?

Revealed: Why Liverpool felt forced to act on Aaron Briggs and their plans for appointing a long-term set-piece specialist. www.davidlynchlfc.co.uk/p/revealed-w...

Much like at Spurs, I think a lot of Liverpool fans will come away from this game with a negative feeling based on the latter stages. But on both occasions that could have been avoided by not conceding a set-piece. They are truly dreadful at them and something needs to be done.

Liverpool to face Wolves: Alisson, Frimpong, Konate, Van Dijk, Kerkez, Mac Allister, Gravenberch, Jones, Chiesa, Ekitike, Wirtz. Subs: Mamardashvili, Woodman, Bradley, Gakpo, Robertson, Nyoni, Ramsay, Ngumoha, Lucky.

Liverpool’s results have clearly improved of late but it’ll only feel sustainable if they start playing a little better. Today a really good chance to do that.

Slot on Isak: "It's going to be a long injury, a couple of months. That's a big, big, big disappointment for him and also for us."

Conor Bradley is in with a chance of returning to training on Friday and is "50/50" to face Wolves. Cody Gakpo similar. Joe Gomez and Wataru Endo still out.

Only Erling Haaland has scored more non-penalty Premier League goals than Hugo Ekitike this season. The questions about Liverpool's decision to buy two centre-forwards over the summer seem to have gone quiet. www.davidlynchlfc.co.uk/p/how-ekitik...

Liverpool’s six-match unbeaten run is proof that Arne Slot has stopped the rot to some extent, but they’re not playing well, are they? youtu.be/Ste-fsda_Xk?...

Liverpool very poor all night and then truly dreadful after Tottenham went down to nine men, but that's another win, six unbeaten, and somehow level on points with fourth place. For now at least, the ends are justifying the means.
