Twitter reacts as Jurgen Klopp benches Darwin Nunez for Liverpool
Jurgen Klopp’s line-up for Liverpool’s first game of the Premier League season has been revealed, and Darwin Nunez does not start against Fulham. Klopp has opted for Roberto Firmino as a false nine, with Mohamed Salah and Luis Diaz either side of him – leaving Nunez on the bench, who will likely come on later in the game. Liverpool XI to face Fulham: Alisson; Alexander-Arnold, Van Dijk, Matip, Robertson; Thiago, Henderson, Fabinho; Salah, Firmino, Diaz Substitutes: Adrian, Gomez, Milner, Elliott, Nunez, Carvalho, Bajcetic, Van Den Bergh, Chambers Even Klopp knows Nunez is not ready yet, and needs protection.

Everton Close in on Midfield Duo as Deals for Amadou Onana and Idrissa Gueye Enter Final Stages
Everton are on the verge of completing a double swoop for Lille’s Amadou Onana and former Toffees now-PSG midfielder Idrissa Gueye. Frank Lampard has been keen to bolster Everton’s options in the midfield, particularly with the likes of Andre Gomes and Abdoulaye Doucoure suffering injuries last season which left the middle of the park significantly weakened. This is further compounded by the departures of Fabian Delph, Gylfi Sigurdsson and Donny van de Beek this summer. West Ham have been long-term admirers of 20-year-old Amadou Onana and are thought to have had an initial bid accepted, although the Lille midfielder is said to prefer a move to Merseyside and talks over a transfer have progressed quickly with the French side. The towering defensive midfielder, who stands at 6″5, is reported...

Manchester United block Hakim Ziyech move as Erik Ten Hag looks to reunite with his former winger
New Manchester United manager Erik Ten Hag is reportedly keeping close tabs on former player Hakim Ziyech, however the United club chiefs are reluctant to authorise a move for the tricky winger. Ziyech was instrumental under Ten Hag at Ajax, with the winger playing a pivitol role in winning the Eredivisie, as well as a magical run in Europe which saw the Dutch side reach the Champions League semi-finals in the 2018/19 season. Since leaving Ten Hag and Ajax for a blockbuster move to London in 2020 however, the Moroccan has struggled to adapt to the style of English football and has fallen out of favour at new club Chelsea. Ziyech has struggled to make any significant impact since arriving at Stamford Bridge, with the likes of Mason Mount, Christian Pulisic and Kai Havertz all being favoured...
Pundit Top Four Predictions: 13 out of 22 Foresee a Hat-Trick of Premier League Titles for Man City
With the Premier League season kicking off on Friday evening, there are so many narratives to consider, with last season’s title front-runners having further bolstered their squads, while the race for Champions League football is seemingly impossible to call.

Following their fourth-placed finish in the 2020-21 season, all 20 participating experts wrote off Liverpool’s chances of winning the league. While they were indeed correct in their predictions, just two had them down to finish as runners-up; former Reds players Mark Lawrenson and Danny Murphy. See below for the full top four prediction list for 2022/23. Jurgen Klopp’s side were ferocious in their pu...
Alex Telles joins Sevilla on loan from Manchester United
Manchester United left-back Alex Telles has joined La Liga side Sevilla on a season-long loan who will also cover the player’s wages. Telles’ departure comes after United signed Feyenoord left-back Tyrell Malacia, with new boss Erik ten Hag keen to use Malacia as a back-up to Luke Shaw instead. The Brazilian joined the Red Devils in late 2020, and went on to make 50 appearances for the club including four in the Champions League where he scored a stunning volley against Villarreal in the group stages. To everyone at United: colleagues, staff, fans. I will be supporting and cheering you on all season.
