After a win last time out at home to Sunderland, and with Liverpool having lost the last three of their own games in both the league and in Europe. You would think it was an ideal time for Manchester United to cut their teeth against the reigning Premier League champions. However with the international break stopping domestic action for two weeks, it gave a chance for a reset, and a trip to Anfield after all of the travel and disruption of such the break appeared a daunting task.

Club football on the horizon again, where do Arsenal stand? In the last international break, I predicted that 10 points out of 12 for Arsenal would leave them no further off Liverpool than they were at that point and more than likely closer to 1st place. In the aftermath of drawing at home to what appeared to be an imminently beatable City side and Newcastle away still to come I did wonder if we would reach that target. I should never have questioned Mikel and the boys and I am still buzzing f

Antoine Semenyo's rise from a near-quit at 15 to a Premier League standout is a testament to resilience and talent. Currently at AFC Bournemouth, the Ghanaian forward has caught the attention of Liverpool's hierarchy as reported by This Is Anfield, being viewed as an ideal signing to bolster their attacking options. Career Overview Semenyo's journey began at Bristol City, where he made a significant impact in the Championship. In the 2021-22 season, he registered eight goals and twelve assist

From a fairly strong start to the 25/26 campaign, to a disastrous seven days, Arne Slot's Liverpool have been through one mighty rollercoaster ride during the early part of this season. After winning their first seven matches in all competitions, the Reds looked on track to continue where last season had left off, as champions, with a hunger to maintain custody of their crown. However, after three back-to-back away defeats against Crystal Palace and Chelsea in the Premier League and Galatasara

By the time the fixture kicks off on Saturday evening, Liverpool might not be sitting in 1st position on the log again. Chelsea may seem to have found their mojo back after defeating Jose Mourinho’s Benfica in the UEFA Champions League to record their second win from six matches. Still, Liverpool, on the other hand, seems to be losing its grip after consecutive losses to Crystal Palace and Galatasaray, respectively, with the latter coming in the UEFA Champions League match. Match Preview Nam

Early Encounters and Foundations The rivalry between Liverpool and Chelsea stretches back more than a century, beginning on Christmas Day in 1907. On that afternoon, Chelsea stunned Anfield with a 4–1 victory in their first-ever meeting. The fixture quickly grew in significance, with the 1930s producing some of the first truly emphatic scorelines. Liverpool recorded a 6–0 victory in 1935, while Chelsea responded with a 6–1 win in 1937. In 1946, following the Second World War, the two sides met

Well then — if anyone thought Chelsea’s win over Liverpool was a one-off, Saturday at the City Ground was the mic drop. The Blues battered Nottingham Forest 3‑0, oozing confidence, control, and killer instinct. It was a performance that not only sent Forest into panic mode but also left Ange Postecoglou leaving the City Ground with a sack letter. Let’s break down the main takeaways the good, the not-so-good, and the ones to keep an eye on — for all Chelsea fans. 1. Romeo Lavia: Not Quite Ther

After a fast start which resulted in an early lead, Spurs once again failed to capitalise, and two moments of quality from Morgan Rogers and Emi Buendia turned the game around and earned Villa all three points. Charity begins at home Spurs have now won only three of their last 18 Premier League home matches, which is almost unfathomable for a club of this size and stature. The supposed 'game-changer' stadium is in serious need of game changers on the pitch, and is currently, understandably, l

For Wolverhampton Wanderers, this wasn't just another defeat; it felt like a breaking point. A sobering 2-0 loss away to Sunderland left Wolves rooted to the bottom of the Premier League table, still searching for their first win of the season, making them the only team in the top five divisions in England without a win. The numbers are damning: five goals scored, 16 conceded, and a growing sense that Vítor Pereira's project is unravelling before it has truly begun. At the Stadium of Light, Wol
