Joe Gomez Expected to Face Tottenham in League Cup

Gareth Taylor Reacts to Liverpool Women Draw with Spurs
Heading into the 2026-27 season, Liverpool Women would have looked ahead to their first three games including the opener newly promoted Charlton, mid-table Tottenham, and defending FAWSL champions Manchester City and likely seen four points as the reasonable goal.

Iraola Talk: Reds Lacked Freshness in Scoreless Draw
Although Liverpool have won a disappointing 6 points from the opening 4 matches, the performances had largely been better than the results and much better than the dross we were forced to watch last season under Arne Slot.

In Liverpool’s Defense: Jeremy Jacquet Continues to Shine
The only positive against Fulham on Saturday was keeping a clean sheet and new signing Jeremy Jacquet saved Alisson Becker after the Reds number one keeper had a rare moment of bad decision making.

Digging Deeper Into Liverpool’s 0-0 Draw with Fulham
Liverpool closed out a pretty successful week with a bit of a let down.

Iraola Praises Araujo’s Liverpool Contribution: “He’s in a Lovely Place”
It wasn’t all that long ago Ronald Araujo was Barcelona’s most important defender, a player you couldn’t have pried away from the Catalan giants at any price. Shortly after Araujo was given a lucrative new contract and the captaincy, though, things all rather fell apart. Whether it boiled down to manager Hansi Flick’s system, the […]

Liverpool FC head coach Andoni Iraola issued a bunch of fitness updates in his post-match press conference following the 2-1 victory against Atletico Madrid at Anfield.
