Mohamed Salah not involved today but is in attendance at Anfield and has stopped to sign autographs for fans.

A perfect view of proceedings.

A magnificent setting for a huge game. Both teams pushing for European places, but no fan in here will be thinking about the bigger picture come kick-off. All about bragging rights, particularly in the first Merseyside derby here.

It’s a long shot, but I’ve seen plenty of less talented sides pull those off down the years here. If Liverpool can get the first goal, this place will explode.

Today feels like a big opportunity for Liverpool to show they can get their attack going again after recent struggles and unpick the sort of low block they face most weeks.

A big opportunity for Liverpool to earn some breathing room in the top four race, and even close in on third-placed Aston Villa. Can they take it?

Liverpool’s results have clearly improved of late but it’ll only feel sustainable if they start playing a little better. Today a really good chance to do that.

If Tuesday's win over Inter was something for Liverpool to build on, then today is the day to actually do it. Only three points to the top four, but that gap will only grow if there isn't a sustained improvement soon.

Mohamed Salah involved in training ahead of Liverpool’s visit to Inter.

Liverpool's next nine league fixtures see them face teams with an average position of 14th. If they are to turn this season around, now is the time to do it.

Miserable conditions here at Anfield for the visit of Real Madrid. That might suit Liverpool, who will be looking to make it as hostile as possible for their illustrious visitors this evening.

Anfield under the lights for what feels like a big one. For all the mitigating factors, Liverpool can’t keep losing games.

Liverpool set for a rare Anfield outing that they could probably do with winning tonight. Expecting a team selection aimed more at preparing for a big week ahead, though.

Just the 20 English league titles for the two teams involved today. If Liverpool want to make it 21, they could probably do with a performance today.

Expecting plenty of changes for Liverpool at Anfield this evening but, such is the depth of their squad, it’ll be a strong team either way.

A grey day on Merseyside for the derby.

I know not everyone is a fan of this Champions League format, but it throws up big games nice and early. A tough start for Liverpool tonight against Atletico Madrid.

The best press box view in English football.

At Turf Moor to see if Liverpool can extend their perfect start to the new Premier League season.

There’s no such thing as a title decider in August, but you suspect the points on offer today might matter when they’re totted up in May.

BREAKING: Andy Robertson has been confirmed as Liverpool's new vice-captain. Arne Slot: "He's played here so many years, won the league twice. He's a very good player, plays many games, knows what it takes, but also knows the culture of the club and the dressing room."

Newcastle United have released a statement explaining that they do not see the conditions for the sale of Alexander Isak being met this summer. They also deny any agreement being reached with the player to allow him to leave.

Another season reporting on Liverpool, and this time they start as reigning Premier League champions. Can they defend their title? Only nine months until we find out.

Back at the home of the champions for a final tune-up before the Community Shield. Back-to-back games and so there’s sure to be a lot to take from today.

Confirmed: New Liverpool squad numbers for the 2025-26 season. 6 – Milos Kerkez 7 – Florian Wirtz 12 – Conor Bradley 22 – Hugo Ekitike 25 – Giorgi Mamardashvili 28 – Freddie Woodman 30 – Jeremie Frimpong 41 – Armin Pecsi 42 – Trey Nyoni

Wrote this on Luis Diaz last week. Liverpool’s stance remains the same - they are not actively looking to sell and only a sizeable bid would change things. You’d also imagine the player might push given there are no plans to give him a new deal. www.davidlynchlfc.co.uk/p/who-will-l...

This is what Liverpool winning the Premier League looked like last time, and what it looks like now. I'd say that second picture is slightly more aligned with the dreams of every Liverpool fan over the last three decades.

A special guest here at Anfield today.

These people have been dreaming of this day for 35 years.

Glorious, end-of-season weather at Anfield. Bring on the champions.
