Arne Slot Having steadied the Liverpool ship after the choppy waters of nine defeats in 12 at the end of November, Arne Slot's back-to-basics approach has come at a cost. Extending the unbeaten sequence to a dozen games on Saturday cut little ice with the supporters inside Anfield itself, who greeted the final whistle of the 1-1 draw with relegation-threatened Burnley with a smattering of boos. The noise settled almost as quickly as it rose up into the Merseyside sky, but i

Arne Slot Liverpool boss Arne Slot was left baffled by a question regarding Xabi Alonso succeeding him at Anfield during his press conference before the game with Marseille.

Sol Campbell Arsenal legend Sol Campbell has given his thoughts on why Liverpool are trailing so far behind his former club in the Premier League title race. The defending champions drew 0-0 with the table-topping Gunners at the Emirates on Thursday night.
