Why Liverpool’s Signings Give Them Edge In The Title Race
Liverpool had experienced a quiet transfer window, however, a flurry of activity in the past couple of days has seen the Reds land two excellent signings. With Thiago Alcantara and Diogo Jota both arriving on Merseyside.

Rivals, Manchester United also expressed an interest in the Spaniard but Thiago favoured a move to the Premier League champions.

Jamie Carragher said yesterday that Liverpool are looking to sell some of their players in order to fund moves for new arrivals.

Liverpool started their 2020-21 Premier League campaign with a thrilling 4-3 win against Leeds United on Saturday at Anfield. The Reds are still a very strong side despite being largely inactive in the transfer market, but Jurgen Klopp probably feels the need now to make necessary incursions to add depth and quality to the side. However, the Reds may look to offload some of their players to fund moves for any potential arrival. And Klopp may need to make ruthless transfer calls.

Liverpool just about saw off Leeds United in their opening Premier League game at Anfield on Saturday. Mohamed Salah scored a hat-trick as the Reds earned a 4-3 win against the Premier League newcomers.

Former great England striker turned popular football pundit Gary Lineker took to social networking site Twitter to express his reaction after the final whistle. Leeds came back three times from behind, but Liverpool finally managed to seal all three points, with Salah scoring the winning penalty. Lineker says it has been a ‘cracking game of football’, and has lauded Liverpool’s mentality to grind out results. They do kno...
Leeds United confirm one-year contract extension for Marcelo Bielsa

After finally leading Leeds back into the top-flight, Bielsa’s side face the daunting task of beginning their Premier League campaign away to champions Liverpool on Saturday.
