Another Liverpool late show, but in the wrong sense. Wolves get a second big win in four days. Liverpool lose in injury time again. On Wolves 2-1 Liverpool: www.independent.co.uk/sport/footba...

Manchester United have got some goals and assists but players supposedly on the left wing but they don't have a specialist left winger. Which could be a problem: www.independent.co.uk/sport/footba...

Michael Carrick accepts it is inevitable there will be talk about him becoming Man Utd manager on a permanent basis and stresses his love for the club: www.independent.co.uk/sport/footba...

At this stage last season, Liverpool's six forwards had 51 Premier League goals. Now they have 26. It can be traced in part to Mohamed Salah's drop-off and Alexander Isak's injuries and poor form. On the shortage of goals from the attackers: www.independent.co.uk/sport/footba...

A Carrick comeback takes Manchester United on the way back towards the Champions League. Sesko starts and scores, Fernandes stars. But Crystal Palace were very good for half an hour. On Manchester United 2-1 Crystal Palace: www.independent.co.uk/sport/footba...

Liverpool had the worst set-piece balance, to use Arne Slot's phrase, in the Premier League. Now they have the most set-piece goals in 2026, including three from corners in the first half today. On a transformation and Liverpool 5-2 West Ham: www.independent.co.uk/sport/footba...

Replacing Trent Alexander-Arnold was always going to be hard but injuries have made it harder for Liverpool. This has been the season of the seven right-backs - but Arne Slot thinks Frimpong & Bradley can reach Trent's levels: www.independent.co.uk/sport/footba...

Arne Slot says Liverpool's £450m was "very, very, very well spent" last summer and believes the signings will be great successes at Anfield: www.independent.co.uk/sport/footba...

Ruben Amorim and his coaching staff will get a pay-off of up to £15.9m from Manchester United. www.independent.co.uk/sport/footba...

Atalanta performed their act of escapology to ensure there is still an Italian club in the Champions League, but It has been a bad year for them nonetheless. On Juve, Inter, Napoli and Serie A's struggles in Europe: www.independent.co.uk/sport/footba...

Senne Lammens on going to war in the penalty box, his smooth start to life at Manchester United and his goalkeeping idols: www.independent.co.uk/sport/footba...

Michael Carrick has got pretty much everything right since returning to Man Utd. And, from being a short-term appointment, it is starting to feel more likely he could be in charge next season: www.independent.co.uk/sport/footba...

Jarrad Branthwaite has a World Cup dream and is hoping to make a late charge into Thomas Tuchel's squad - though he admitted the England manager has not been in contact: www.independent.co.uk/sport/footba...

Rio Ngumoha on his role at Liverpool, learning from Slot and making a difference as a substitute. www.independent.co.uk/sport/footba...

The modern-day super-sub Benjamin Sesko comes off the bench to score again. Man Utd lost to Everton under Ruben Amorim & beat them under Michael Carrick to continue his superb start. On Everton 0-1 Manchester United: www.independent.co.uk/sport/footba...

Liverpool have only lost twice in 20 games. They were unconvincing at Nottingham Forest but a run has been built on being hard to beat, on resolve and resourcefulness. On a revival of sorts: www.independent.co.uk/sport/footba...

Erling Haaland did not score on Saturday but was Pep Guardiola's man of the match. But he has never had more touches in a PL game and defended well. On a different side to Haaland: www.independent.co.uk/sport/footba...

Michael Carrick was singing the praises of Casemiro but Manchester United will soon lose him. And Casemiro's qualities mean replacing him poses challenges - not least because few are quite like him: www.independent.co.uk/sport/footba...

Liverpool’s worst first half, Arne Slot scored. A goal from a player who was only playing as a No 10 because of a late injury to Florian Wirtz. An illogical win as Forest played well. On Nottingham Forest 0-1 Liverpool: www.independent.co.uk/sport/footba...

Manchester City close the gap to Arsenal to two points. Nico O'Reilly delivered a catalytic display as a marauding midfielder. On Manchester City 2-1 Newcastle: www.independent.co.uk/sport/footba...

As Arne Slot admitted, Jurgen Klopp has an aura. Slot thinks he had more of one last season, when he won more, than now. Slot may be trapped between the charisma of Klopp and the idea of Xabi Alonso. But it is worth remembering no one quite has Klopp's charisma: www.independent.co.uk/sport/footba...

Alexander Isak is back in training. Could be in contention to play late March / early April: www.independent.co.uk/sport/footba...

On Vitor Pereira, Nottingham Forest and a season of many managers: www.independent.co.uk/sport/footba...

By his own admission, Oliver Burke is something of a journeyman. But with stops at three German clubs, it is a journey with a difference. Burke on an unusual career, Union Berlin and Scotland: www.independent.co.uk/sport/footba...

Manchester United won't reduce the asking price for Marcus Rashford if Barcelona try to renegotiate it: www.independent.co.uk/sport/footba...

The Champions League knockout play-offs return. Last year's ties ranked as a success for Uefa. This year's seem to have favourites from the bigger leagues but contain clubs from 11 countries and underdogs who may be advertisements for the new format: www.independent.co.uk/sport/footba...

Mo Salah said Dominik Szoboszlai is one of the best players in the world right now. Szoboszlai is scoring more, shaping almost every game, Liverpool's probable player of the year and possible next captain. On his superb season: www.independent.co.uk/sport/footba...

A goal and an assist for Mohamed Salah. A night for Arne Slot to savour as his decisions pay off. On Liverpool 3-0 Brighton: www.independent.co.uk/sport/footba...

Mohamed Salah has not scored against a PL club since 1 Nov. His shot count has gone down this season - but back up since he returned from Africa. On Salah, and Arne Slot's explanation about how things have changed for him: www.independent.co.uk/sport/footba...

Liverpool in talks with Ibrahima Konate about a new contract. Arne Slot wants to keep him: www.independent.co.uk/sport/footba...

Tottenham managers tend to be the opposite of their predecessor. And if Thomas Frank was too much of a Brentford manager, Igor Tudor has at least managed big, high-pressure clubs and made good starts before: www.independent.co.uk/sport/footba...

On Sir Jim Ratcliffe, some toxic comments about immigrants and Manchester United: www.independent.co.uk/sport/footba...

A tribute to James Milner as he is set to equal the record for most Premier League appearances: www.independent.co.uk/sport/footba...

On Bernardo Silva, the little man with the big heart and Guardiola’s perfect captain: www.independent.co.uk/sport/footba...

Liverpool are now outsiders to even qualify for the Champions League. Late winners have cost them, damaging draws perhaps more so. A lack of strength in depth and a stretched squad make their task harder: www.independent.co.uk/sport/footba...

A farcical end, but a fantastic result for Pep Guardiola. He gets his win at a full Anfield after a great comeback. Szoboszlai's strange red card made Liverpool's day worse. On Liverpool 1-3 Manchester City: www.independent.co.uk/sport/footba...

Captain, leader, liability? On Cristian Romero, the worst-behaved player in the Premier League and a man who, amid his criticisms of others, may want to address his own shortcomings and the reasons he gets sent off so often: www.independent.co.uk/sport/footba...

Thomas Frank is beaten by his past, in Bryan Mbeumo, and present, in Cristian Romero. Michael Carrick's winning start continues, aided by Jonny Evans' set-piece planning. On Manchester United 2-0 Tottenham: www.independent.co.uk/sport/footba...

Arne Slot hopes the video of him and Richard Hughes will help convince people he still has the backing of the Liverpool hierarchy: www.independent.co.uk/sport/footba...

Pep Guardiola has only won at Anfield when it was empty. Now he goes there, maybe for the last time, saying such games need "big personalities". Does his new-look Man City team have them? Because even the big names in his old team struggled at Anfield. www.independent.co.uk/sport/footba...

Liverpool have signed defenders for the future, with Jacquet arriving in the summer, but not for now with Guehi and Geertruida instead perhaps facing them this week and Arne Slot admitting any more injuries would make things even more difficult: www.independent.co.uk/sport/footba...

Liverpool have to pay Chelsea a minimum of £2.8m for Rio Ngumoha: www.independent.co.uk/sport/footba...

On Newcastle's issues this season & why they are more attributable to Isak than Howe: www.independent.co.uk/sport/footba...

Pep Guardiola says Manchester City will appeal to the EFL to try and get Marc Guehi eligible to play in the Carabao Cup final: www.independent.co.uk/sport/footba...

Pep Guardiola is one win away from a record fifth League Cup triumph. Newcastle's defence of the trophy ended with a whimper, seen off by Omar Marmoush's brace and beaten by a weakened team. On Man City 3-1 Newcastle: www.independent.co.uk/sport/footba...

Pep Guardiola says the killings of Renee Good and Alex Pretti are indefensible as he insists he cannot stay silent about such issues: www.independent.co.uk/sport/footba...

Pep Guardiola said Manchester City only have the second highest net spend in the last seven years. Which is true, and shows several things City have done well, but also only tells some of the story: www.independent.co.uk/sport/footba...

Liverpool complete their move for Jeremy Jacquet. Will arrive on 1 July for £55m, rising to £60m, on an initial five-year deal. www.independent.co.uk/sport/footba...

Everton sign Tyrique George on loan from Chelsea. Option to make it permanent in the summer. But Dwight McNeil's move to Crystal Palace is off - the paperwork was not submitted in time: www.independent.co.uk/sport/footba...
