OLIVER HOLT: Is this an apparition that we see before us? Is it real? Is Liverpool-Manchester City at Anfield a football match or a ghost-game? Will it remain in the sport's history books or will it be erased when City's guilty verdicts on 114 charges of financial chicanery meet their punishment sometime in the months ahead? There was a time when any Premier League clash between these two sides would have been regarded as the best advertisement for the English game that there could be. Not anymore. This game is being played at a wonderful stadium but it might as well be in a circus tent. It is not a match. It is a giant and terrible curiosity. The great managers who helped to define this collision between modern giants - Jurgen Klopp and Pep Guardiola - are both gone and now this clash stands for something else: it marks the start of a period of slow torture for the top flight in this country‚ a period when we cannot know whether there is any permanence attached to results that involve City. A period when we will not know whether we should believe what we see.
On a wet and windy Sunday afternoon a week from now‚ supporters of Liverpool and Manchester City will make their way across Stanley Park towards Anfield. Home fans will pose for selfies under the Shankly Gates before heading towards the turnstiles‚ wrapped up tight against the elements‚ pints and chips in hand‚ and cast an adoring eye at the bronze statues of legends that forever live in their hearts. John Houlding‚ just outside the Main Stand. Bill Shankly‚ by the Kop. The one of Bob Paisley in Paisley Square and then‚ of course‚ that beautiful little one of Brendan Rodgers clutching the Premier League trophy just outside the club shop.
Former Liverpool striker Andy Carroll has opened up on how his high salary during his two years on Merseyside led to his life spiralling out of control. Carroll‚ 37‚ became the Reds' record signing when he joined for £35million in January 2011 from Newcastle‚ making 58 appearances and scoring 11 goals for the club across two seasons. The striker‚ who currently plays for Dagenham and Redbridge in the National League South - a club he co-owns with YouTuber KSI - has looked back on his troubling spell at Anfield in his new book‚ Owning It.
Wirtz‚ who cost Liverpool £116million a little over a year ago‚ has struggled to hit the ground running at Anfield and come under heavy criticism for his performances this season. Jamie Carragher has led the criticism‚ arguing that Wirtz's weekend performance against Bournemouth was 'one of the poorest I've ever seen him in a Liverpool shirt'. Hamann‚ meanwhile‚ has explained he expects Wirtz to leave the club.
Former Liverpool defender Andy Robertson has admitted that Alexander Isak and Florian Wirtz struggled to settle in at Anfield last season because the squad 'didn't care about football' following the death of Diogo Jota. Jota was tragically killed in a car accident alongside his brother Andre Silva in northern Spain in July 2025. The 28-year-old had been on his way to report to Merseyside for pre-season training. In the same summer‚ Liverpool purchased both Isak and Wirtz for a combined £241million. However‚ both players struggled in what was a difficult season for the Reds‚ as they finished fifth in the Premier League.
LEWIS STEELE AT VITALITY STADIUM: Andoni Iraola toasted to a happy homecoming - and then prepared to jet off on his holidays knowing his work-in-progress Liverpool side are heading in the right direction‚ slowly but surely. It would be wrong to say the Reds' victory at Iraola's old stomping ground Bournemouth was thoroughly deserved or even convincing but as the new boss takes stock over the international break‚ he will have more positives than negatives to evaluate. Match-winner Alexander Isak is finally showing the sharpness and attacking efficiency the Anfield top brass thought they were paying £125million for a year or so ago‚ while other new signings are settling and previous sub-par performers look back to their best.
Watch: Marcos Llorente scores at Anfield yet again to give Atletico Madrid the lead against the run of play
Federico Chiesa's Liverpool career has taken another hit after he was omitted from their UEFA Champions League squad.

Liverpool begin their quest for an seventh European Cup when they face Atletico Madrid at Anfield on Wednesday night.
A Liverpool fan has been savaged on social media after snatching Alexander Isak's shirt from a child following the Anfield club's 2-2 draw with Nottingham Forest on Saturday.
The Anfield club have been assessing different opportunities in the market as they look to add two attacking players before Tuesday.
Inter Milan are on the verge of signing Liverpool midfielder Curtis Jones after a summer-long back and forth. The six-time England international‚ who joined Liverpool aged nine‚ has had his heart set on a move to Serie A for some time after failing to regularly establish himself as a starter at Anfield. And it now appears he will leave‚ with the two clubs in dialogue. A fee of around £30million will get the deal done‚ with Inter signaling they are ready to pay it.
The Frenchman's future has been the subject of huge uncertainty‚ with the 23-year-old entering the final two years of his contract and seemingly unhappy with his bit-part role in Luis Enrique's side. Liverpool and Arsenal have been strongly linked with the winger. Daily Mail Sport understands that the Anfield club currently have the upper hand in their pursuit of Barcola.
Liverpool have confirmed that midfielder Dominik Szoboszlai has put pen to paper on a new long-term deal at the club. The Hungary captain has been rewarded for his impressive performances in what was a disappointing campaign for the Reds last term. The bumper new contract is set to keep Szoboszlai at Anfield until 2031 and represents a big box ticked for the club after the departures of Ibrahima Konate and Trent Alexander-Arnold to Real Madrid on free transfers in recent years.
Jurgen Klopp has reached an agreement in principle to succeed Julian Nagelsmann as the manager of the German national team. The former Liverpool boss‚ 59‚ is set to sign a four-year deal running through the 2028 European Championship and 2030 World Cup after agreeing terms with the DFB‚ Germany's football association. Following his exit from Anfield at the end of the 2023-24 season‚ Klopp enjoyed a short break from football before joining Red Bull as their Global Head of Soccer in January 2025‚ taking on a strategy and advisory role behind the scenes.
Jurgen Klopp has revealed just how close Liverpool came to signing Kylian Mbappe while he was in charge at Anfield. In a stunning admission‚ Klopp‚ who was covering the World Cup quarter-final between France and Morocco for German television station Magenta TV‚ detailed live on air how Mbappe was almost a Liverpool player in 2016. Mbappe‚ then a rising star teenager at Monaco‚ had Europe's elite scrambling to win his signature and Liverpool were no different.
SIMON JONES: Liverpool have had an £86million bid for Yan Diomande rejected after a frantic day in which they made Osasuna winger Victor Munoz the first signing of the Andoni Iraola era. It had been anticipated that Liverpool would back their new head coach in the transfer market and they made clear their intentions late on Wednesday when they hijacked Newcastle's quest to land Munoz and swiftly concluded a £34.5 million deal to bring the Spain international to Anfield. Munoz was given permission by the Spanish Football Federation to undergo a medical after Liverpool sent their own staff to the United States to complete the tests. Once the formalities of securing a work permit are concluded‚ the 22-year-old will commit to a contract that runs to June 2032.
