Gakpo was heavily involved throughout his 45-minute outing, completing 17 of 21 passes at 84% accuracy, reg... »

Liverpool’s first friendly of the summer may have sparked confusion among fans after an unusual kit and squad number situation – but there’s a reason behind the delay that goes far beyond the pitch. In Sunday’s 3-1 win over Preston North End, we saw the debut of Milos Kerkez, who impressed with his aggressive display, but many would have also noticed the unusual decision to use last season’s kit and tempora... »

The goal came in a small-sided game on a reduced pitch, ... »

Arne Slot’s first pre-season outing this summer may have just hinted at how we solve two defensive dilemmas in one bold move. During our 3-1 friendly win over Preston North End, the Dutchman named two different XIs across each half – but it was the defensive configuration that caught the eye. Kostas Tsimikas started the game at left back before making way for Milos Kerkez after the break. What raised eyebro... »

Liverpool’s pre-season opener against Preston gave fans an early look at several summer signings—but one moment from Milos Kerkez said more than most displays. The 21-year-old left-back, signed from Bournemouth for £40 million, made his unofficial debut at Deepdale on Sunday, coming on in the second half as part of Arne Slot’s full-team switch.

Liverpool returned to the pitch for the first time since Diogo Jota’s tragic passing, but the result paled in comparison to the emotions on display. The 3-1 victory over Preston North End at Deepdale marked the opening game of our summer friendlies, yet the day was all about honouring the lives of Jota and his brother Andre, who both died in a car crash earlier this month. Ahead of kick-off, tributes were p... »

Liverpool began our pre-season campaign with a 3-1 win over Preston North End, but one post-match moment has caught fans’ attention for an entirely different reason. Greek international Kostas Tsimikas referred to Sunday’s match as “Episode 1 Season 6” on Instagram – a phrase many have interpreted as a sign he expects to stay at Anfield for the upcoming season. Having joined us in 2020, the 29-year-old left... »

It should be remembered that Chelsea were more than a little peeved at their failure to hold on to Rio Ngumoha. The teenager star, billed by those internally at Stamford Bridge as one of football’s “ones to watch”, was snapped up by Liverpool back in 2024 in what was viewed as a coup of a transfer. The Reds had to pass the Premier League’s rigorous five-step investigation process to get Ngumoha’s transfer o... »

Liverpool’s opening pre-season clash with Preston North End was always destined to be an emotionally-charged affair. It wasn’t that long ago that Diogo Jota and Andre Silva’s lives were tragically taken in a car crash in Spain on July 3. Despite this, the Merseysiders went on ahead with their planned pre-season trip to Deepdale on Sunday afternoon. Arne Slot’s men secured a 3-1 win with goals coming from Co... »
