Confirmed: Liverpool team vs Atlético Madrid

Liverpool begin their Champions League campaign at Anfield tonight, with Bradley Barcola handed his first start for the club against Atlético Madrid. Andoni Iraola makes two changes from the side that beat Ipswich Town 2-0 on Friday, with Barcola and Rio Ngumoha replacing Cody Gakpo and Victor Munoz in attack. Barcola made his Liverpool debut from the bench at Portman Road and now gets his first opportunity from the start, lining up on the left. Ngumoha starts on the opposite flank, with Florian Wirtz operating behind Alexander Isak. The rest of the side is unchanged. Alisson starts in goal, with Ronald Araujo, Jeremy Jacquet, Virgil van Dijk and Milos Kerkez continuing as the back four.

Confirmed: Liverpool team vs Ipswich

Liverpool have made one change for tonight’s Premier League trip to Ipswich Town, with Ronald Araujo handed his first competitive start for the club. The Uruguay international replaces Jeremie Frimpong at right-back in the only alteration from last weekend’s 2-2 draw with Nottingham Forest at Anfield. There is also plenty of interest on the bench. Bradley Barcola is included in a Liverpool matchday squad for the first time following his £123 million move from Paris Saint-Germain and could make his debut at Portman Road. Andoni Iraola had confirmed before the game that Barcola was available, although the Liverpool head coach also pointed to his lack of match minutes during pre-season. The France international will therefore have to wait for a starting place. Alisson continues in goal, with ...

Beyond the turnstiles: How the streets around Anfield became part of Liverpool FC’s identity

There is a moment on a Liverpool matchday when Anfield seems to expand beyond the stadium itself. Long before the players emerge from the tunnel, the surrounding streets begin to change. Scarves appear. Familiar songs can be heard among the crowds. Friends search for their usual meeting points. Supporters who have followed Liverpool for generations share the same pavements with visitors who have travelled thousands of miles to see Anfield for the first time. By kick-off, around 60,000 supporters will be inside the stadium. But the Liverpool matchday has already been underway for hours. That distinction matters, because Liverpool Football Club’s identity has never existed solely within the boundaries of a football ground. The neighbourhood surrounding Anfield has played its own part in the ...

Confirmed: Liverpool team vs Nottingham Forest

Liverpool return to Anfield for the first time in the Premier League this season as Andoni Iraola makes two changes for today’s clash with Nottingham Forest. Víctor Muñoz is handed his first Liverpool start after making an impact from the bench at Newcastle last weekend, while Alexis Mac Allister returns to the midfield. Ryan Gravenberch and Rio Ngumoha drop to the bench, with Iraola reshaping his midfield and attack as he takes charge of his first competitive match at Anfield. Alexander Isak continues to lead the line, supported by Cody Gakpo, Florian Wirtz and Muñoz, while Dominik Szoboszlai starts alongside Mac Allister in midfield. Liverpool are looking for their first Premier League win of the season after opening the campaign with a 2-2 draw at Newcastle. Liverpool  Alisson; Frimpong...

Confirmed: Liverpool team vs Newcastle United

Liverpool begin a new Premier League era at St James’ Park this afternoon, with Andoni Iraola handing Jeremy Jacquet his competitive debut and backing Rio Ngumoha from the start. Iraola has named the same XI that began last weekend’s 2-0 friendly victory over Como at Anfield, with Jacquet keeping his place alongside Virgil van Dijk in the centre of defence. Alisson starts in goal, with Jeremie Frimpong and Milos Kerkez completing a back four that has a very different look from the one that ended last season. Ryan Gravenberch and Dominik Szoboszlai form the midfield pairing, while Florian Wirtz starts in the No.10 role. The biggest call comes on the right of Liverpool’s attack, where 17-year-old Ngumoha gets the nod. Liverpool team: Alisson; Frimpong, Jacquet, Van Dijk, Kerkez; Gravenberch,...

Liverpool have named their team for the final day of the Premier League season, with Mohamed Salah and Andy Robertson both starting their final game for the club. Arne Slot makes three changes for the 4pm kick-off against Brentford at Anfield, with Alisson returning in goal after a spell out through injury. The Brazilian has missed the previous 10 matches before being brought back into the side. The emotional focus will inevitably fall on Salah and Robertson.

Confirmed: Liverpool team vs Man United

Liverpool have named their team for this afternoon’s Premier League meeting with Manchester United at Old Trafford, with Arne Slot forced into another attacking reshuffle. Alexander Isak is not in the squad, reportedly after suffering a groin issue in training, while Alisson Becker remains absent. That means Freddie Woodman continues in goal for one of the biggest fixtures of Liverpool’s league season.
