Liverpool FC news recap: Harvey Elliott PROBLEM, exiled star's COMEBACK, Richard Hughes' CODE RED
Here's all your news for Sunday 15th December.
Michael Edwards’ mate finally SACKED
Liverpool’s game against Wolves at Molineux earlier in the season was one of the earliest tests they really received this season.
The Reds ran out 2-1 winners that day but were pushed by a clearly wily, well-drilled Wolves side who had started poorly due to an unfortunate run that included Arsenal, Chelsea and Aston Villa.
But bad runs can turn into bad seasons all too quickly. After a last-minute loss to fellow relegation rivals Ipswich yesterday, and sitting in 19th, Wolves have sacked Gary O’Neil as their manager.
From champs to CHUMPS: The SHOCKING truth about Man City's decline
Manchester City are no longer in poor form. They are in freefall.
Having kept Liverpool off their perch so often under Pep Guardiola, City are quickly becoming a faded force.
The four-in-a-row Premier League champions have won only ONE of their last 11 games, falling to their latest shambolic defeat to Manchester United in the derby on Sunday.
Forgotten Liverpool star in line for first appearance in THREE years
Liverpool have a problem and it will need solving in the three days before the Reds travel to Southampton.
Defensive absentees are adding up and Arne Slot is running out of options to field a starting XI.
As a result of Andy Robertson's rash challenge against former Red Harry Wilson in today's frustrating 2-2 draw against Fulham, he received a red card for denying an obvious goalscoring opportunity, so he will now miss Liverpool's visit to Southampton.
Wake up Richard Hughes, Liverpool have a CODE RED, send for help
Liverpool made a mess of the summer and now they're paying the price. Ryan Gravenberch needs some serious help.
The last three games have been telling for Liverpool. They haven't actually played well in any of them - but still avoided defeat in all.
That's a brilliant sign of a wonderful team. Liverpool are certainly that. But they're also a team that's buckling under the weight of injuries.
Harvey Elliott is now a PROBLEM for Arne Slot
Harvey Elliott has made himself a problem for Arne Slot. How will the Liverpool boss handle things?
Harvey Elliott has had a strange season. He got a couple of minutes in the opener against Brentford but it didn't take long for him to pick up an injury.
That injury kept him out for months. We're not now seeing him back in the mix, in fact, and his total minutes this season are 32 across all competitions.
Iconic Adidas Liverpool collaboration LEAKED months in advance
After a 13-year hiatus, Adidas is finally set to reunite with Liverpool to be their kit supplier for a third time for the 2025/26 campaign.
The German manufacturers’ deal will begin on July 1st 2025 with Nike’s five-year stint with the Reds coming to an end.
It’s worth saying that Liverpool’s 2025/26 kit launch remains months away but leaks circulating on social media show how it next season’s jersey could look based on designs.
