Gravenberch and Ekitike Fuel Liverpool's 5-2 Triumph Over West Ham

Liverpool rediscovered their attacking rhythm with a 5-2 win over West Ham, powered by Hugo Ekitike’s goal and two assists and a forward-minded shift for Ryan Gravenberch; Alisson had a shaky moment, Mo Salah was quieter, and West Ham pressed hard and posted higher xG, but Liverpool’s tweaks—Gravenberch and Mac Allister roaming in midfield and the defense mold with the right-back tucking in—set them up for upcoming league and FA Cup fixtures against Wolverhampton.

Wirtz Finds Form as Liverpool's Future Takes Shape

Florian Wirtz has begun to justify Liverpool’s £100m price tag, overcoming an uneven start with more frequent, higher-quality touches in advanced areas, improved duels, and a scoring/assisting run that has coincided with a strong partnership with Hugo Ekitiké; a January Premier League Player of the Month nomination signals that the 22-year-old is finally arriving in the competition.

Liverpool seal £60m deal for Rennes teen Jacquet to become defensive cornerstone

Liverpool have agreed to pay up to £60m for Rennes 20-year-old centre-back Jeremy Jacquet (roughly £50m upfront plus £10m in add-ons). The highly touted defender will stay with Rennes for the remainder of the 2025-26 season before joining Liverpool in July. Jacquet is praised for his aggression, aerial ability, and ball-playing range, with comparisons to Cristian Romero, but questions remain about adapting to the Premier League and handling increased scrutiny. The move edges out Chelsea and Bayern Munich as the Reds pursue a long-term defensive rebuild.

Liverpool face a costly summer rebuild after late capitulation

Liverpool’s title defense spluttered as they wasted a 2-0 lead against Bournemouth, conceding a stoppage-time winner and slipping into a winless run in 2026. Despite dominance in possession and chances, they offered little fluency going forward and showed fixture-sapped depth and defensive frailties, prompting questions about recruitment and the scale of a necessary summer overhaul.

Liverpool's Inconsistency Deepens After Bournemouth Defeat

Liverpool's erratic form persists as they slip to a 3-2 defeat at Bournemouth, with two early goals conceded stemming from defensive lapses. The piece points to Virgil van Dijk's costly errors, notes a lack of cutting edge despite a late comeback, and frames the result as part of a transitional season that will require a sustained winning run to reclaim European spots, starting with the next match against Qarabag FK.

Last-round chase for Champions League knockouts: who still has a path to the last 16

With one round remaining, Arsenal are already through to the last 16 alongside Bayern; Real Madrid, Liverpool and Tottenham must win on matchday eight to guarantee a direct last-16 spot, while a cluster of teams including Newcastle, Chelsea and Manchester City sit in a tight group on 13 points and could still reach the top eight depending on goal difference. In total, 16 sides remain in contention for six remaining top-eight places, with only two head-to-head play-off matchups (Ajax vs Olympiacos and Marseille vs Club Brugge) directly between playoff hopefuls. The article also lists the final round fixtures shaping the knockout qualifications.

Szoboszlai free-kick seals Liverpool win as Salah returns to boost CL hopes

Liverpool beat Marseille 3-0 in the Champions League, with Szoboszlai curling a clever free-kick just before half-time to beat the wall, a second-half own goal from Jeremie Frimpong after a slick wide move, and Cody Gakpo adding a third. Salah returned from AFCON and, while not fully in rhythm, played the full 90 minutes. Liverpool move to 15 points, sitting fourth with one group game left against Qarabag; a win would secure a top-eight finish, though final positions could still hinge on goal difference and other results. Arne Slot praised the performance and stressed the need for consistency ahead of the closing phase.

Slot echoes fans' frustration as Liverpool's draw run continues

Liverpool drew 1-1 with Burnley after Marcus Edwards equalised following Florian Wirtz's opener, with Arne Slot saying the issue lies in how the team plays out from the back and calling it a recurring pattern in a 12-game unbeaten run that has yielded four straight league draws. Szoboszlai missed a first-half penalty that could have sealed it, Salah is set to return soon, and Liverpool head to Marseille and Bournemouth as they chase better results and more points.

Pimblett taunts Hooker with a 60-strong Scouse welcome at UFC 324

Paddy Pimblett fired up a feud with Dan Hooker, warning that Hooker would be “jumped by about 60 Scousers” if he showed up at UFC 324, where Pimblett is set to challenge Justin Gaethje for the interim lightweight title. Hooker isn’t expected at UFC 324 and fights Benoît Saint-Denis at UFC 325 in Sydney, making an appearance unlikely. Pimblett also dismissively called Hooker a “bum,” and outlined a game plan to keep the fight on the feet against Gaethje, aiming to finish him within three rounds.
