https://ift.tt/JZ0EibO The entire Liverpool squad are ‘certified club legends’ – even if they don’t win another trophy this season. That’s according to comedian and Liverpool fan Adam Rowe, who says the whole feeling around the city has been different over the last few months. Getty Klopp’s Liverpool are on track to make history Liverpool’s good form has put them in contention to win an unprecedented quadruple, having already won the Carabao Cup earlier this year. They have reached the FA Cup final, the Champions League semi-finals, and are just a point behind Manchester City in the Premier League table. But even if they don’t manage to lift another piece of silverware again this year, Rowe still thinks this group of players will go down in club folklore. “Regardless of how this season ends, this entire squad are certified Liverpool legends,” he told talkSPORT.  “Football, for me, as much as it is about winning trophies, there’s a big part of it that is about the jour...

https://ift.tt/WSofg3x Manchester United’s injury woes continue with just 14 outfield players fit for their Premier League clash with Chelsea on Thursday. The Red Devils need a miracle to qualify for the Champions League, not only due to the six-point gap to fourth-place Arsenal, but also their ever-growing list of injured key players. AFP Maguire might’ve played his last match of the 2021/22 campaign Fred, Paul Pogba, Luke Shaw and Edinson Cavani remain on the sidelines – while Harry Maguire and Jadon Sancho will also miss the Blues clash due to new fresh problems. Interim manager Ralf Rangnick said on Thursday: “Fred is unfortunately not yet available. He tried to train yesterday but afterwards I had a long conversation with him and he just told me that he doesn’t feel fully fit. He’s not at 100 per cent. “With a player like Fred, who is always committed to give his very best, I don’t think it make sense with a muscular injury that he had to play him too early because th...

https://ift.tt/j5EAzda Sebastien Haller could have a second shot at Premier League success, with the Ajax star tipped to follow Erik ten Hag to Manchester United. West Ham thought they’d finally found a star striker when they signed Haller for £45million back in 2019, but the Ivory Coast international only scored 14 times throughout his time in London. Getty Haller is smiling once again after his West Ham torment – but could he be set for a Premier League return? During his time with Eintracht Frankfurt in the campaign prior to his move to England, Haller was directly involved in 24 goals, just five short of Robert Lewandowski’s 29 in the same campaign for Bayern Munich. But after just a season-and-a-half at the London Stadium, Haller was sold to Ajax for £20million. One year on, it’s fair to say the centre-forward has definitely rediscovered his shooting boots. Netting 33 times in all competitions and currently top scorer in the Eredivisie with 20 goals, Haller has be...

https://ift.tt/Pg7Muid Conor Gallagher’s stock continues to rise and Charlie Austin believes he would be an excellent long-term option for when Jordan Henderson leaves Liverpool. The Chelsea academy product, on-loan at Crystal Palace has enjoyed an incredible campaign so far. Getty Gallagher has been a revelation at Selhurst Park under Patrick Vieira With eight goals and three assists in 29 Premier League games so far, the 22-year-old has played a huge part in the Eagles’ success this season. He also helped Palace reach the FA Cup semi-final, but unfortunately was not be able to play against the Blues due to them being his parent club. An England call up, and a debut in a  2-1 victory over Switzerland , have also gone the way of the youngster who is continuing to impress under Patrick Vieira. Gallagher will have eyes on more first-team football next season when his time with the Eagles ends, whether that is at Chelsea or another club. Speaking on talkSPORT Drive , Qu...

Getty Sancho scored his first Premier League goal against the club he supported as a boy If United are to have any chance of finishing in the top four then winning their last four matches of the season is an absolute. But Chelsea pose a formidable test, with Tuchel winning four of his five meetings with Rangnick from their time in the Bundesliga together.
