For the second time this season, Liverpool went to Stoke City and emerged with an important 1-0 victory.

Jurgen Klopp’s men are […]
Liverpool host Stoke City tonight in the second leg of their Capital One Cup semi-final tie. The Reds were victorious back in August when the two sides met on the opening day of the season, which helped erase memories of a 6-1 drubbing by the Potters on the final fixture of the previous term, and […]

Liverpool provided exactly the response they needed to four successive limp displays by shutting out Leicester City, and becoming the first team to keep a clean sheet against the Foxes this term in the process.
