Liverpool remain locked in talks with Egypt over when Mohamed Salah can be released ahead of next month's Africa Cup of Nations in Morocco.
Salah is wanted for friendly with Nigeria in mid-December, more than a week before the first AFCON fixture.

Florian Wirtz isn't a Liverpool superstar yet - but two Reds team-mates offer clear hope: this weekβs Blood Red column. www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/sport/footba...
15.11.2025 08:51 β π 4 π 1 π¬ 0 π 0As the two giant screens played a video to mark Pep Guardiola's 1000th game in management before kick-off, the Liverpool fans in the away end paid little attention, instead singing songs of defiance. It was about as fun as it got for them. Etihad verdict.

We are underway at the Etihad. #MCILIV

At the Etihad alongside @iandoylesport.bsky.social to see if #LFC can build on a morale-boosting few days against Aston Villa and Real Madrid. The chance to close the gap on leaders Arsenal is there for both teams today. #MCILIV

The UEFA rule that prohibits the same fixture three seasons running in the new Champions League will be a welcome reprieve for Real Madrid. Liverpool are up to sixth but the real value of this win is much more important. Verdict from Anfield.

With 21 European Cups between the clubs, the Anfield return of Trent Alexander-Arnold shouldn't dominate the agenda, but its status as a fascinating subplot is inescapable. A hostile atmosphere expected tonight for the former vice captain from West Derby.

Xabi Alonso says he has no doubts that Florian Wirtz will succeed at Liverpool, saying he wouldn't be the Real Madrid boss without the contributions of the Germany international at Bayer Leverkusen.

Virgil van Dijk has hit back at Wayne Rooney's comments over a lack of leadership at Liverpool. The Reds captain branded the Manchester United legend's analysis as "lazy criticism".

It is for Doyley.
02.11.2025 01:31 β π 1 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0The Anfield scoreboard edged close to the hour mark when the Kop felt it time to hammer home its message. Ryan Gravenberch had just added to Mohamed Salah's goal and the #LFC faithful made sure their backing of Arne Slot was heard loud and clear. Verdict.

Arne Slot and the gentle wafting of the white flag. Victory against Aston Villa was already imperative so a place in the fifth round of the cup will have cut little ice anyway. Verdict from Anfield as the #LFC boss sends a clear message he isnβt panicking.
