Overview
- Dominik Szoboszlai’s clever free-kick helped secure a 3-0 win at Marseille, stretching the unbeaten run to 13 and putting Liverpool on track for direct last‑16 qualification under UEFA’s new format.
- Arne Slot said he expects no movement before the February 2 deadline, indicating the club will stick with the current squad unless an exceptional opportunity arises.
- Defensive resources remain tight, with Ibrahima Konaté granted time away following his father’s death and other injuries limiting options at centre-back and up front.
- Slot’s explanation that inconsistency comes from struggles against low blocks drew criticism from Steven Gerrard, who urged him to find solutions regardless of opponents’ setups.
- Media reports say the Saudi Pro League plans a summer push for Mohamed Salah, with The Daily Telegraph cited as the source of that interest.
