Arsenal beware! Fabregas is unstoppable Klopp found himself in the spotlight after shouting in the face of assistant referee Neil Swarbrick as Liverpool drew 1-1 at home with the Premier League leaders, with the German later claiming that he yelled “no one can beat us” at the official. The former Borussia Dortmund boss was fortunate to escape without punishment, much to the frustration of Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho, but Klopp knows that he could see red again and accepts any penalties that it would incur....

Coutinho, 25, was heavily linked with a move to Barcelona in the off-season despite being contracted until 2022. The Brazil international ended up staying at Anfield, with suggestions the star attacker would make the move at the end of the campaign. However, Klopp said he was unsure, adding that it was insignificant so early in the season. “I’ve no clue. We will see. We don’t talk about things like this....

Salah, 25, joined Liverpool in a £38million move from Roma in June, arriving for a second stint in the Premier League. Liverpool 8/1 to beat Leicester 1-0 Although his team have made a slow start to the campaign, the Egypt international has delivered with three goals and an assist in five league games, while he has also netted twice in the Champions League. Klopp said landing Salah so early in the close-season was crucial to how well the former Chelsea attacker has settled....

“We can … outspend other clubs throughout Europe,” Liverpool owner John Henry said just before the loss to Real Madrid in May’s final. Henry more than delivered, spending about 170 million pounds ($220 million) on new signings and only generating 12.5 million pounds from departing players. Liverpool even kept English soccer’s player of the year, Mohamed Salah, from the grasps of Real Madrid by persuading the Egypt forward to sign a new contract....

The experienced Italian coach lost his job at the Bavarian club on Thursday following a 3-0 Champions League defeat to Paris Saint-Germain. Liverpool 33/1 for Champions League Klopp - who won the Bundesliga title twice with Borussia Dortmund before arriving at Liverpool - has been mentioned as a possible candidate for the vacancy. While the German is tied down to a long-term contract at Anfield, he was still asked about the developments at Bayern during his Friday press conference....

‘Useless Pogba was NEVER worth £100m!’ Matip was called up by Cameroon for the Africa Cup of Nations, despite having signalled his desire to stop representing his country. The centre-back was withdrawn from the squad for the 1-1 draw with Manchester United at the weekend and will also miss the upcoming FA Cup replay against Plymouth Argyle as Liverpool seek clarification over his availability. FIFA has reportedly failed to provide any further guidance to the Reds, pointing them to regulations that state: “A player who has been called up by his association for one of its representative teams is, unless otherwise agreed by the relevant association, not entitled to play for the club with which he is registered during the period for which he has been released or should have been released pursuant to the provisions of this annexe, plus an additional period of five days....

Two goals apiece from Roberto Firmino and Mohamed Salah, as well as strikes from Philippe Coutinho, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Trent Alexander-Arnold delivered a stunning 7-0 win over their hapless Slovenian hosts. The Reds could comfortably have reached double figures had they been even more clinical in front of goal and Klopp believes that dominance was down to his side’s high pressing. “It was a very mature performance,“ he told BT Sport....

Sutton keeper resigns over pie-eating bet The Reds boss had attempted to convince the 50-year-old to follow Mona Nemmer and Andreas Kornmayer by switching the Allianz Arena for Anfield. The pair made the move last summer as head of nutrition and head of fitness respectively, but Schlumberger will not be reuniting with them as part of the Reds’ backroom staff as it stands. Should he depart Munich, a return to Borussia Dortmund is thought to be preferred, where he served under Klopp between 2011 to 2015....

Lukaku joined United for a reported £75million ahead of the Premier League season and has made a stunning start to life at Old Trafford, scoring 11 goals in 10 games in all competitions. Klopp’s Liverpool welcome Lukaku and United to Anfield on Saturday and the Reds boss hailed the forward’s development since making his big move. “He has matured, of course,” Klopp told a pre-match news conference. “He’s still a young player....

Klopp has brought in Mohamed Salah from Roma in a deal that could reach a value of €50million, but the winger and young striker Dominic Solanke, signed from Chelsea, are the only fresh arrivals so far ahead of the new Premier League campaign. ‘Coutinho is the jewel in the crown’ As well as adding more names to Liverpool’s ranks, the former Borussia Dortmund boss is hoping to increase the squad’s tactical flexibility, as he decides on the strategy that will work best with the Reds looking to improve on a fourth-place finish last year....

Benteke struggled for regular first-team opportunities under the German and was subsequently sold to Palace at the start of this season. He has 12 Premier League goals in 30 appearances for the Eagles, and Klopp knows the Belgian’s aerial threat is something his defensive line will have to manage. Mourinho disappointed in Manchester United “Crystal Palace are really strong with unbelievable skills in offensive lines. [Wilfried] Zaha, [Andros] Townsend, Christian, [Jason] Puncheon, they are really good footballers,” Klopp said in Thursday’s media conference....

The judge issued a temporary, six-month order of protection that prevents Felton from coming in contact with his wife, Ariane Raymondo-Felton, who had an attorney turn in a loaded weapon to the Manhattan police precinct after stating that she did not want the gun in her home.

Ntilikina had just returned from a nearly two-month absence but left again during a loss to the Clippers on Sunday because of more soreness. The Knicks say Friday that after a subsequent evaluation, the team’s medical staff recommends he not play again this season. Ntilikina has appeared in just 43 games, averaging 5.7 points. The No. 8 pick in the 2017 draft was the final selection made by Phil Jackson as team president....

“We are disappointed that it did not work out for Beno and Metta here in New York,” said Knicks general manager Steve Mills. “We thank them for their contributions this season and wish them well.” World Peace and Udrih expressed displeasure with their standing in New York prior to being bought out of their contracts. In separate instances, each player asked out of New York, as World Peace wanted to negotiate a buyout and Udrih sought a trade....
