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 hand Jeremy Jacquet his debut against Como at Anfield this evening as Andoni Iraola names a strong starting XI for the final game of pre-season. The summer signing starts alongside Virgil van Dijk in central defence, while fellow new arrival Ronald Araújo could make his first appearance from the bench. Alisson Becker starts in goal, with Jeremie Frimpong and Milos Kerkez completing the defensive options around Van Dijk and Jacquet. Further forward, Liverpool have plenty of attacking quality on show. Florian Wirtz, Dominik Szoboszlai and Ryan Gravenberch all start, while Alexander Isak, Cody Gakpo and Rio Ngumoha are also included in Iraola’s XI. Liverpool team: Alisson; Frimpong, Jacquet, Van Dijk, Kerkez; Szoboszlai, Gravenberch; Ngumoha, Wirtz, Gakpo; Isak Subs: Davies, A...

Liverpool have named a strong starting XI to face Monaco at Anfield this afternoon, with Lewis Koumas handed another chance to impress in Andoni Iraola’s attack.

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. Both have been central to Liverpool’s modern era, and both start as the Reds look to finish the season by securing Champions League football. Liverpool team: Alisson; Jones, Konate, Van Dijk, Robertson; Mac Allister, Gravenberch; Salah, Szoboszlai, Ngumoha; Gakpo Subs: Mamardashvili, Gomez, Kerkez, Frimpong, Endo, Nyoni, Wirtz, Chiesa...

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. There are two changes from the side that faced Crystal Palace, with Ryan Gravenberch back in midfield and Jeremie Frimpong starting in attack. Cody Gakpo is expected to lead the line, with Florian Wirtz and Dominik Szoboszlai supporting him through the middle and between the lines.

Liverpool have named a bold side for tonight’s Champions League quarter-final second leg against Paris Saint-Germain at Anfield, with Arne Slot handing Alexander Isak his first start of 2026 and again leaving Mohamed Salah on the bench. The headline decision is clear. Slot has gone for mobility, direct running and fresh energy in the front line, with Isak joining Hugo Ekitike in what looks set to be an aggressive attacking setup. It is a selection that suggests Liverpool are trying to force the tie early rather than manage it cautiously.  With Alisson still unavailable, Giorgi Mamardashvili keeps his place in goal. Curtis Jones was fit enough to train on the eve of the game, but only makes the bench, while Milos Kerkez, Alexis Mac Allister and Ryan Gravenberch all return to the starting s...

Liverpool have confirmed their starting line-up for today’s Premier League meeting with Brighton at the Amex Stadium, with Arne Slot forced into two changes from the side that beat Galatasaray in midweek. Cody Gakpo comes in for the injured Mohamed Salah, while Giorgi Mamardashvili starts in goal after Alisson was ruled out.  The headline team news had been building before kick-off. Slot confirmed on Friday that Salah and Alisson would both miss the lunchtime trip to Brighton, and that Joe Gomez was not yet ready to start despite returning to the squad.  That leaves Liverpool with a front pairing of Gakpo and Hugo Ekitike, with Florian Wirtz and Dominik Szoboszlai operating in the advanced midfield roles behind them. Jeremie Frimpong keeps his place at right-back, while Ryan Gravenberch ...
