MATCH DAY! A big game this afternoon as we take on a very strong Brighton side at Anfield. 3 wins from our last 3. Let’s carry on that momentum, Reds 👊

Koumas on learning from Alexander Isak: “I’m definitely learning a lot. But he’s a really nice guy first of all, and the player speaks for himself. “What he did at Newcastle was unbelievable and then he’s come to us and he’s started to apply the goals now, which is really important. Unbelievable player; I’m always looking to take bits of his game into mine.”

Lewis Koumas on being part of the Liverpool squad: “For me and my family, it was just a massive moment. We’re all massive Reds. “It wasn’t long ago that we were going to games in the stands, so to be a part of it now is a really special feeling.”

🚨 | @benfeerr: Liverpool do not have Trent Alexander-Arnold on their radar right now, despite Jose Mourinho and his staff believing that Fede Valverde “is better” at right-back than the Englishman.

🥈 | @SportsPeteO: Liverpool have no interest in re-signing Trent Alexander-Arnold, despite concerns about the right-back position.

🚨 | @Eric18Martin: Andoni Iraola is the main person who wants Ifeanyi Ndukwe to stay at Levante until the end of the season, especially now he’s a starter. This is despite the defender now having the necessary points to get an English work permit.

🚨 | @BILD: Liverpool are interested in signing Borussia Dortmund’s 17-year-old winger Mathis Albert.

🥈 | @SportsPeteO: Liverpool are keeping tabs on Luka Vuskovic, but Brighton believe the defender is already a £100m talent just a few months after they signed him for less than half that fee.

🚨 | @calciomercatoit: Although Federico Chiesa has always rejected proposals to leave Anfield, convinced that he can climb the pecking order, Liverpool are now intent on letting the forward go in January. There are no plans to negotiate a new deal.

Bayern Munich executive Uli Hoeneß: "Florian [Wirtz] would play much better for us than he does at Liverpool. I watch a lot of the team’s games. They haven’t integrated him properly at all. In Leverkusen, he got every ball; in Liverpool, he’s just one of many.”

Arsenal to get 3 points this afternoon. 💰

5 years ago today, Mo Salah scored a hat trick as we put five past United at Old Trafford. It truly was his playground 👑 🇪🇬

Ipswich to get the better of Forest. 🤝

Ronald Araujo: “I speak to Darwin [Nunez] a lot. We’re great friends. He congratulated me after my goal against Villarreal the other day. He asked me if I was going to score more goals than him [at Liverpool]! 😭😭😭

Iraola on Florian Wirtz: “I’m delighted with Florian. His performances over the last three matches have been very good, and I hope this is the beginning of him finding his confidence again. We believe in him a great deal.”

Iraola on Wirtz: “His body language can seem a little cold. People might think he’s not involved or doesn’t care, when in reality, now that I know him better, I can see how much he loves football and how much he cares. “He is involved and committed, but he doesn’t communicate that externally in the same way as some other players. I think that can work against Florian a little.”

Iraola on Wirtz: “He’s probably felt more comfortable in Champions League matches. In the Premier League, he still needs to get used to the duels. It’s true that he’s already been here for a year, but he’s still adapting.”

Iraola on Wirtz: “People tend to judge him in terms of goals and assists. That isn’t going to be his greatest strength. He’s not a number 10 or a second striker who’s going to score 15 goals this season. If he can help us with goals, that’s even better. But he gives us a great deal of control over matches.”

🥇 | @JacobsBen: As of now, Liverpool do not intend to offer Alexis Mac Allister a new deal.

Iraola: “I think Arne Slot did a very, very good job. He played a different style from the one we use, but he did very well. “The team probably needed a change. Not specifically a change to me, but a change in general. I’m happy because I’ve found a squad with a real willingness, and for me that foundation is almost the most important thing.”
