The Reds are six-time winners of the competition, hoisting their last trophy in 2019 when they beat Tottenham in all English final. They’ve had mixed success against Italian clubs in recent years, having played an Italian team in every year of the Champions League since the 2017-18 season. Below is a ranking of Liverpool’s top five victories over Italian teams in the club’s history. We’ll see if the Inter Milan-Liverpool Round of 16 battle makes the cut....

A victory would be the Reds’ first in the Premier League at the Hawthorns since October 2011. Klopp confident Coutinho will stay Only once in the previous seven seasons have the Merseysiders been in the top three at this stage of the campaign. LIVERPOOL INJURIES Sadio Mane’s surgery to correct the meniscus damage in his left knee was successful and the winger is set for a two-month recovery period....

Jurgen Klopp’s men were the Premier League’s pacesetters during the previous international break, but have only beaten Sunderland in the division since. Injuries have affected attacking output and options, as well as the Reds’ fluency, which has resulted in less authority and more defensive issues. This is the first meeting between Liverpool and the hosts since 2008-09, when Middlesbrough ran out 2-0 winners at the Riverside - Klopp will want no such repeat....

The England international has netted in all four of his top-flight appearances from the off at the ground, scoring five goals in those games. He replaces Roberto Firmino in the front three with Jurgen Klopp making four alterations from the XI that drew 2-2 in the Champions League at Spartak Moscow on Tuesday. Simon Mignolet returns in goal, Joe Gomez comes in for Trent Alexander-Arnold and Gini Wijnaldum is back at Newcastle for the first time since his switch last summer with Emre Can on the bench....

Simon Mignolet keeps his place in goal, with Dejan Lovren again partnering Joel Matip at the heart of defence. All three were woeful in last weekend’s 4-1 defeat at Spurs with right-back Joe Gomez not escaping error-free either. The Reds boss has handed them the opportunity to right those wrongs on Saturday, with just two changes to the first 11. Philippe Coutinho is absent from the matchday squad due to an adductor issue, with Daniel Sturridge added to the attack for his fourth start of the season....

The English Premier League (EPL) club completed their ICC commitments against the Spanish giants, and manager Jurgen Klopp’s team treated the sell-out crowd to an exciting, fluent display. The impressive Mane opened the scoring after a quarter of an hour with an excellent finish after Adam Lallana and Roberto Firmino had linked up well. Liverpool stormed out of the blocks in the second half and were 3-0 up by the 49th minute thanks to an own goal from former Red Javier Mascherano and a typically classy finish from Divock Origi, Liverpool’s official website reported....

The Reds will now be trying their best to get the Brazilian to pen a deal. The release clause isn’t a big one and could be activated by any big club in Europe. The £29 million signing from Hoffenheim has been in blistering form this season. He still has two years left on his contract but is set to be offered a new one this summer. Liverpool eye Clément Lenglet The race for Clément Lenglet just got a lot more interesting....

The club could also be active in the transfer market as they have a fair share of injury issues at the moment. Let’s take a look at the latest transfer news featuring Liverpool from 4 January 2021: Barcelona plan to approach Wijnaldum after his contract expires Liverpool are yet to agree on a new contract with midfielder Georginio Wijnaldum, and Barcelona are looking to take advantage of the situation and sign him on a free transfer next summer....

The Reds have been quite inconsistent and have only won two of their last five games across all competitions. Similarly, they currently occupy ninth position in the Premier League standings. The Blues have also been inconsistent as well and have won only one of their last five games across all competitions. Furthermore, they currently occupy tenth position in the league standings. This article will look at three key battles that could determine the outcome of this encounter....

Jonjo Shelvey opened the scoring just seven minutes in as Liverpool was stunned at the back, but the hosts quickly recovered to get goals from Diogo Jota and Mohamed Salah before the break, turning the game on its head. Trent Alexander-Arnold then delivered an absolute rocket to put the game away in the final minutes. The Reds received worrying news pre-match as three players were confirmed to have tested positive for COVID-19, including regulars Virgil van Dijk and Fabinho....

Liverpool played the majority of the match within themselves, but found the back of the net after 27 minutes when Mane reacted quickest to a Trent Alexander-Arnold shot, converting from close range. Michail Antonio, Pablo Fornals and Manuel Lanzini all had golden opportunities to equalize for the visitors, but lacked composure in front of goal as Liverpool kept a clean sheet despite some defensive vulnerabilities. The pressure now shifts on to Pep Guardiola and his Manchester City side who host Manchester United in Sunday’s Manchester derby....

This is the sound of wishful thinking. Team Bush is deluding itself if it really believes that the events surrounding June 30 will lighten the political burden of the war. The reason is simple and depressing: They are not in control of events, and neither are our few allies on the ground in Iraq. Osama bin Laden is in charge. He’s the other “candidate” in this presidential race. And he’s winning....

The 25-year-old has spent another season seeing his every move at Old Trafford dissected in minute detail, with questions asked of both his on and off-field antics. As an £89 million asset, much is expected of a man who boasts the physical attributes to be one of the best players on the planet, but one who is often accused of lacking the right mindset. Pogba has an opportunity this summer to show that he can be a talismanic presence, as he goes in search of global glory with his country, and is being challenged to show that he is ready to take on such a role....

Having struggled for game time at Stamford Bridge since joining the senior fold, the 22-year-old midfielder crossed London to link up with Palace last summer. A season-long agreement has been split by an unfortunate injury, but the classy playmaker has impressed when fully fit. Palace are hoping that there will be a permanent deal to be done for the England international in the next transfer window, but they are also aware that several other suitors are likely to join the hunt for a man facing an uncertain future at his parent club....

While modeling came to him overnight, breaking out into the acting scene posed greater difficulties. “I was very lucky. The modeling stuff often comes about easily for people. There are things that I pursued, and there are also things that I fell into,” Macrae shares exlcusively with Game Rant. “I was very lucky, right out of college, but I’m the type of person that likes to work hard at things, and I was trying to find something that was just slightly deeper than what I was doing with the modeling stuff....

Disney Plus’s Loki introduced a new group to the MCU: the Time Variance Authority, also known as the TVA. In the first episode of the show, the titular character was apprehended by the TVA because of his deviation from the timeline. The TVA agents are clear about their mission statement and their methods, but the first few episodes of Loki seem to already be hinting that there is more to them than meets the eye, and that they may not be trustworthy....

“For All Time. Always.” is the third Marvel finale that fans have gotten to enjoy on Disney+ this year, after WandaVision’s “The Series Finale” and The Falcon and the Winter Soldier’s “One World, One People.” The key difference with the Loki finale is that it’s the first MCU show of the year to have a second season on the cards. While WandaVision and The Falcon and the Winter Soldier were burdened with the glorious purpose of conclusively ending their shows’ story arcs, Loki had the freedom to set up season 2 – and that’s exactly where its problems lie....

The mercurial three-weight world champion will look to add the WBC lightweight title to his WBO and WBA belts when he faces fellow Olympic gold medalist Luke Campbell at the O2 Arena on Saturday.

“I hope that God has something very big for me since my heart is now broken,” he said at a press conference Monday, speaking in Spanish according to The Associated Press. “A part of me was taken.” Montoya, 22, said he was traveling with his 18-year-old sister, María Camila Montoya Caicedo, to reunite with their mother, who has lived in the U.S. for over 10 years, according to The Washington Post....
