Fabinho opened the scoring on the cusp of half-time. The Brazilian headed in following a corner kick by Trent Alexander-Arnold as Liverpool made their ascendancy county. Brentford tried to stand their ground following the restart. Diogo Jota came close to scoring in the 62nd minute, but his effort hit the woodwork. The Portuguese was then denied by Alvaro Fernandez. The visitors’ hopes of getting back into the game ended when Oxlade-Chamberlain latched onto a beautiful cross from Andrew Robertson....

There are banners promoting Liverpool football club adorning lampposts in the streets around Anfield that display prominently the words ‘dream’ and ‘believe’. A big line runs through the word ‘dream’, leaving ‘believe’ to stand proudly as a slogan for the club and their fans. On May 7, 2019, Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool believed in something that many would not have dared to dream of, and willed it into existence. From a 3-0 first-leg deficit against the mighty Barcelona, the Reds produced a comeback for the ages to secure a spot in the Champions League final for the second season running....

Liverpool already put in a lot of work this summer, bringing in Fabinho from Monaco, Naby Keita from RB Leipzig, Xherdan Shaqiri from Stoke City, and Allison Becker from AS Roma. Yet, it looks like Jurgen Klopp isn’t done creating his perfect football team. ESPN has reported that Liverpool has made contact with Rabiot’s agent concerning a free transfer move. Jurgen Klopp, during his spell with Borussia Dortmund, tried to sign Rabiot, but to no avail....

The vehicle carrying the City contingent appeared to be struck by projectiles including bottles and flairs as it neared its destination on Merseyside. Liverpool and manager Jurgen Klopp have issued apologies to their opponents, including Pep Guardiola, and offered their support moving forward. “The club condemns in the strongest possible terms the scenes which preceded our Champions League quarter-final, which resulted in damage being inflicted on the Manchester City team bus during their arrival at Anfield,” a Liverpool statement read....

MORE: Is Gerrard headed for MLS? | Biggest possible transfers in 2015 It was also meaningless. Not to Carragher, to his family or to the fans who paid tribute to a homegrown hero, but in a cold, hard sense. There was nothing at stake. Liverpool was not playing for a top-four finish. There were no trophies to parade on the Anfield pitch. A wonderful servant’s playing days ended in the anti-climax of an underwhelming season....

Coates suffered a knee injury in August that kept him out for half a year, before he made a loan switch to Uruguayan side Nacional to aid his recovery and put him in the best possible position to earn his place in Uruguay’s World Cup squad this summer. Brendan Rodgers has already signalled that he intends to sign more defensive reinforcements this summer with Daniel Agger out of favour with the Liverpool manager and Coates has revealed that he needs to have a discussion over his future and see if he is still wanted on Merseyside....

The Croatian centre-back has attracted criticism in recent weeks for his performances for the Anfield club, with his showing against Tottenham at Wembley seeing him withdrawn after just 31 minutes. Spurs would go on to win that game 4-1, with Lovren then missing the 3-0 win over Huddersfield Town having pulled up in the warm-up prior to the game. But the 28-year-old has now revealed that he received a disgusting death threat on social media, insisting that while he can accept criticism coming his way, he will not tolerate fans overstepping the mark....

Speaking words of wisdom? Certainly not in the run-up to this game. Having found themselves in times of trouble, Napoli’s touchy owner Aurelio De Laurentiis slapped a gag on his team. Three weeks have passed since a Naples rebellion, when the squad en masse figured that being ordered by De Laurentiis to check in for a week-long isolated retreat at short notice amid a slump in form did not exactly tally with their own plans and did what could be reasonably termed ‘a runner’....

Supporters group Spirit of Shankly claimed that some travelling fans were refused entry into the Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan Stadium, while others were assaulted by police. A statement released by the group’s chairman Jay McKenna to ESPN read: “We became aware of issues affecting supporters during the first half of the match. “A couple of our committee members reported problems getting into the ground, being refused access as the flag they had [which featured a Liver bird and the word “defiance”] was accused of having a political message....

The Reds moved into a 2-0 lead thanks to goals from Danny Ings and Mohamed Salah but were pegged back by their opponents, who lie at the foot of the Premier League table. Klopp felt that several factors went against his side, most notably some questionable refereeing decisions and the state of the pitch at the Hawthorns, and admitted that at the moment his side are not in the shape to play on Tuesday....

The Dutchman’s contract with Liverpool expires in the summer of 2021, and no progress has been made regarding a new deal. The Reds signed Thiago Alcantara from Bayern Munich in the summer, and he is being seen as a like-for-like replacement for Wijnaldum by some fans. Georginio Wijnaldum has been a key player for Liverpool since his arrival, and his importance has been highlighted even more this season as the Reds have struggled with injuries....

A victory at Anfield would see the Reds end in the Champions League places for only the second time in the past eight seasons. Klopp: Liverpool are back on track It would also result in a total of 76 points - a haul only bettered twice in the last 10 terms. “I don’t think we need different kinds of descriptions for this game, so it’s a ‘cup final’ or a ‘World Cup final’ or that it’s the most important game of however many years and everything,” Klopp told the club’s official website....

Legends on both sides of the red divide are part of the folklore in what is arguably the Premier League’s most fabled fixture.

However, Everton has come up with some inspired performances in these games, almost coming away with the victory at Goodison Park last season. The Toffees last beat Liverpool in 2010, when Roy Hodgson was Reds manager, but have come close on multiple occasions since. It is always a treat to watch, with inspired performances at either end accompanied by the will to win, like few other games. No other game has seen more red cards in the Premier League era....

People with genital herpes often report feeling “guilty,” “ashamed,” and like “outcasts’ after their diagnosis. But, the simple truth is that genital herpes is far more common than most people imagine.

Moreover, around 21% of those between the ages of 40 and 49 have the virus, many of whom are unaware they are infected....

The committee met for its final televised meeting on Monday afternoon, outlining its findings over the course of its investigation.

While Austin would make history as the first-ever Black Secretary of Defense, candidates are expected to have spent seven years out of the military before serving in what is supposed to be a civilian position, otherwise, they require a congressional waiver to be appointed. Austin retired from the military in 2016, barely four years ago. Only two other people have been given such a waiver: President Donald Trump’s Jim Mattis and former President Harry S....
