While talk of pressure only increases, Liverpool entered Anfield with the knowledge that Manchester City secured three points against Watford on Saturday. Then the match began with a refereeing blunder and the Reds falling behind. None of it mattered in the end, as Liverpool battered Burnley far worse than the 4-2 scoreline suggests. When James […]
The swatting aside of Watford does not diminish the fact that Liverpool have played two derbies on consecutive Sundays.

The visitors’ quick start seemed to […]
The recent warm-weather training trip to Dubai has seemingly done Liverpool few favours. The Reds met an inspired West Ham side that stymied the league leaders in a 1-1 stalemate in London on Monday night. For the second fixture in a row, Liverpool struggled to find any rhythm or create many clear chances. The goals […]
After a brief respite, Liverpool returned to league action Wednesday evening, hosting Leicester City, and eventually drawing 1-1.

A snowy […]
In a match that surprised everyone, the Reds reasserted their seven-point lead atop the table. In a match that saw far more goals than expected, Liverpool beat Crystal Palace 4-3 at Anfield.

The Reds finally got back onto the pitch after their first loss in the league and an exit from the FA Cup. While not at their flying best, Liverpool still had enough to beat Brighton & Hove Albion 1-0 at the Amex Stadium. It was clear from the start that patience would be required for […]
Coming off a hard-luck loss against their nearest rivals in the chase for the league title, Liverpool detoured to Wolverhampton for the third round of the FA Cup.
