His first match in charge will be against Crystal Palace at Molineux following the international break.

Now, this is a question we didn't think be asking a few weeks ago... This is a man who has already secured his place in Liverpool folklore. Author | William G Stadium | Anfield The 47-year-old Reds manager is immortalised on a banner that stretches across the Kop before every home game, his face displayed alongside the greats: Bill Shankly, Bob Paisley, Joe Fagan, Kenny Dalglish, Rafael Benítez and Jürgen Klopp, the select group of Liverpool managers to have lifted either the league title or the European Cup. After claiming the Premier League crown in his debut season and spending close to £450m on a refreshed squad over the summer, it appeared Arne Slot would continue his winning momentum into the new campaign. Liverpool began their title defence with five successive victories, though often relying on late goals, but have since gone more than a month without a league win. They now sit seventh in the table, seven points adrift of leaders Arsenal, and suffered a humbling 3-0 d...

Big wins, clubs in crisis, pressure building It has been another fun-packed weekend in the Premier League Author |  Olivia T It all started on Friday night at Elland Road and two managers facing off that both desperately needed a win.  Leeds United get first home win since opening day Brenden Aaronson needed only three minutes to put the hosts ahead, capitalising on slack defending after Noah Okafor’s header was pushed out. Joe Rodon then doubled the advantage just past the quarter hour, rising unchallenged to meet a Sean Longstaff corner. It marked the earliest Leeds had established a two-goal lead in the top flight for more than two decades. Mateus Fernandes offered the faintest of late consolations in the 90th minute, yet it could not prevent a third straight defeat in what is now West Ham’s worst top-flight start since the early 1970s. Nuno Espirito Santo remains winless after four matches in charge, his task made tougher by an injury to the young defender Scarles and a Lu...

This could have a huge impact on football across the continent  A controversial new salary cap, which critics say could spell the end of the Premier League as the world’s leading competition, could be introduced as early as next month. Author |  Ajay   Crystal Palace fans v Liverpool Top-flight clubs are due to vote on the proposed “anchoring” system, which would restrict any club’s spending to a set multiple of the amount earned by the league’s bottom side in broadcast revenue and prize money. The vote is expected to take place in the coming weeks. Both Manchester United and Manchester City are understood to be opposed to the measure, which would be implemented alongside the new “squad cost ratio” rules. They argue that such restrictions would damage the league’s global appeal and drive top players away to rival competitions. Others fear it could destabilise the Championship and make life even harder for newly promoted teams. Manchester United fans v Liverpool Based on 2...

Author |  Josh D Pictures from around the grounds The main talking points A rare home defeat for Leeds United Mohammed Kudus scored one and created another as Tottenham ended Leeds United’s year-long unbeaten home run in the league. Daniel Farke’s side had not lost on their own turf since early September 2024, when Burnley won there in the Championship. But Kudus was the difference on a sodden afternoon in Yorkshire, guiding Spurs back to winning ways after two draws in four days.
