Liverpool draw Everton in FA Cup 3rd round
This will be the 23rd time Liverpool have played Everton in the FA Cup, with their last meeting coming in a semi-final win in 2012. It will be the second Merseyside derby of the season as the Reds play Everton this Sunday in the Premier League. Liverpool are currently 4th in the league following a 1–5 demolition of Brighton at the weekend. Everton are 10th, with new manager Sam Allardyce winning his first game in charge, a 2-0 victory against Huddersfield. Who can forget the eight-goal thriller between Reds and the Toffees in 1991’s FA Cup fifth-round replay, which proved to be the final match of Kenny Dalglish’s first tenure as Liverpool manager. Elsewhere in the draw holders Arsenal will travel to Nottingham Forest. Manchester City have a home tie against Burnley, while Manch...

Liverpool 3 – 0 Southampton
Jurgen Klopp made four changes to his Liverpool team with Dejan Lovren replacing the injured Joel Matip in central defence. Joe Gomez was a surprise omission but perhaps one eye was on the Champions League match against Seville in midweek. Salah opened the scoring in the 31st minute when he curled into the net from 18 yards, punishing Dusan Tadic for losing possession. The strike gave the Reds confidence and ten minutes later an exquisite Philippe Coutinho pass picked out a perfectly-timed run as Salah slotted a second past Fraser Forster in the 41st minute. It was Salah’s 14th goal in what is fast becoming a stellar debut season for the Reds. Philippe Coutinho added a third in the second half when Southampton keeper Foster could only parry a Firmino shot and the Brazilian was on han...

Liverpool 3-0 Huddersfield
When the team sheet was initially released Jurgen Klopp demonstrated he had kept faith with Dejan Lovren after the humiliating defeat at Tottenham last week. But an injury to the Croatian defender in the pre-match warm-up saw him drop out and Ragnar Klavan come in. Elsewhere, Daniel Sturridge replaced the injured Philippe Coutinho in attack, and Gini Wijnaldum returned from injury in midfield so Emre Can had to make do with a place on the bench. Liverpool dominated the first half in terms of possession but it was fairly pedestrian football with the Reds struggling to create any chances to capitalise on their overwhelming possession. As the first half was drawing to a close Liverpool were awarded a penalty for a shirt pull on Robert Firmino by Huddersfield’s Tommy Smith. However, as i...
