    At Anfield, Liverpool’s tactical accuracy is too great for Ipswich.

    My car was blocked by a fallen tree outside my apartment the morning after one of the biggest storms in decades, making the drive to Anfield an adventure in and of itself.

    I arrived just in time for kickoff after taking a combination of buses, trains, and taxis; this was a much bigger effort than Liverpool needed to defeat Ipswich Town 4-1 in what felt like a glorified training session.

    Liverpool established themselves from the first whistle, and the numbers support this. With just four shots during the match, Ipswich’s expected goals () total was 0.61; prior to their consolation goal in stoppage time, it was a pitiful 0.26.

    Liverpool’s efficiency in front of goal was demonstrated by their shooting quality, which was 11.35%, well above the league average of 10%.

    Reaction: Why Andy Robertson believes that Liverpool’s pursuit of the Premier League title strikes the perfect balance

    Andy Robertson believes that Arne Slot’s team’s mix of youth and experience strikes the ideal balance as Liverpool aims to win the Premier League.

    After a convincing 4-1 victory against Ipswich Town at Anfield on Saturday, the Reds are still six points ahead of second-place Arsenal and have one game left to play.

    Slot’s squad scored goals through Dominik Szoboszlai, Mohamed Salah, and Cody Gakpo (two), before Jacob Greaves gave the visitors a late consolation goal.

    Robertson, a veteran of the 2019–20 championship-winning team, told Liverpoolfc.

    com: “I think we’ve got the balance – young players that are excited and just kind of living in the moment probably, and then you’ve got experienced lads that have been there and done it and we’re trying to push them and keep them concentrated.”

    Liverpool has won 16 and lost just one of their 22 top-flight games so far this season.

    When we were ahead 2-0 or 3-0, you could see that I, Virg [Virgil van Dijk], Ali [Alisson Becker], Trent [Alexander-Arnold], and Mo were attempting to keep the others focused.

    To be fair, they have experience playing in important games and understand what it means. “To give them credit, they’re all

    They will continue to try to push us until we are caught, thus it is our responsibility to try to stay ahead of them. Being consistent and winning games are the only ways to do it.

    “We’ve accomplished that thus far, but much more needs to be done.” See the remainder of our chat with Robertson following the game below.

    Yes, the performance was excellent. We knew going into the game that Ipswich had a lot of quality and that these games can often be tough, especially when they are against teams that are struggling to survive. It was about showcasing our strengths, and I believe we succeeded in doing so in the first half by taking a sizable lead, which we deserved. Although it’s certainly frustrating to lose the clean sheet, I believe that 4-1 was a pleasant afternoon. In the second half, we really controlled the game until the final five minutes.

    Euro giants “exploring” shocking potential transfer raid on Aston Villa

     

    The Bundesliga giants are said to be exploring a loan deal for Buendia in what looks like something of a surprise move for someone currently out of favour at Villa Park.

    If Unai Emery can’t find room for Buendia in this Villa side, then it’s hard to imagine the Argentine getting much of a look-in at Leverkusen after all their recent success.

    Still, Florian Plettenberg has reported on the situation below, posting on X about Leverkusen’s interest in signing Buendia on loan with an option to buy.

    Aston Villa vs West Ham – Predicted lineup and team news

    Aston Villa host West Ham to the Midlands in the Premier League this afternoon. It’s the second meeting between the teams this month, as Villa beat West Ham 2-1 in the FA Cup’s third round on January 10th.

    Unai Emery’s side are unbeaten in four Premier League games and can move within one point of the European rankings with win.

    However, a Champions League loss to Monaco in the middle of the week dealt a setback to the team’s ambitions of making headway in Europe.

    That cup match at Villa Park was the first game under new manager Graham Potter, and West Ham is still getting used to his ways.

     

    He has since guided the Irons to a 3-2 victory over Fulham and a heartbreaking home loss to Crystal Palace.

    This weekend, Aston Villa has few choices at center-back and in central midfield.

    Amadou Onana is not expected to play after suffering a hamstring injury against Arsenal last week. The Belgian is joining Ross Barkley and John McGinn on the sidelines.

    Diego Carlos’ transfer to Fenerbahce further depletes the defensive stocks, as Pau Torres is still out. It is anticipated that Tyrone Mings and Ezri Konsa would continue their collaboration.

    Andres Garcia, a 21-year-old full-back who signed this week from Levante, may join the team, while Donyell Malen, who arrived from Borussia Dortmund, may get his debut.

     

  • PSG is prepared to make a weekly offer of £236k to acquire Duran, a star for Aston Villa.

    PSG is prepared to make a weekly offer of £236k to acquire Duran, a star for Aston Villa.

    Luis Enrique’s team is intent on landing the Colombian striker, and French powerhouse PSG is prepared to offer one of their own attackers in return for the highly sought-after Aston Villa player Jhon Duran.

    Interest in Jhon Duran is growing in late January.

    According to reports, West Ham’s recent attempt to sign Duran for £57 million was unsuccessful because manager Unai Emery and company were unwilling to go with a very capable backup star who had 12 goals in 26 appearances in all competitions.

    Broadcast giant talkSPORT backs other reports of Al Nassr’s interest in Duran, with Villa apparently braced for an offer from the Middle Easterns.

    However, Emery’s side are very ready to play hard-ball, and could demand in excess of £85 million to let him go.

    The former Real Madrid ace joined PSG on a free transfer from La Liga in 2023, but has since been relegated to the fringes of Enrique’s plans.

    They could now use his situation as an opportunity to land Duran, as PSG plot an intriguing proposal.

    It is believed PSG are prepared to offer Villa the chance to sign Asensio in a part-exchange bid for Duran.

    In terms of cash, the highest PSG are willing to climb right now is £59 million, which is nowhere near enough and just £2 million more than West Ham’s rejected approach, so they could use Asensio as a sweetener in the deal.

    Ola Aina and Awoniyi Suffer as Forest Crumble at Bournemouth

    At the Vitality Stadium on Saturday, Nottingham Forest lost badly to Bournemouth 5-0, and Ola Aina and Taiwo Awoniyi had a difficult afternoon.

    Aina started the match but was substituted in the 79th minute, while Awoniyi came on at the same time.

    However, their efforts couldn’t prevent Forest from succumbing to an inspired Bournemouth side.

    The Cherries delivered a dominant performance, led by Dango Ouattara’s hat-trick and goals from Justin Kluivert and Antoine Semenyo.

    Kluivert opened the scoring in the ninth minute as Bournemouth’s relentless attacking strategy paid off.

    The winger took advantage of a quick counterattack and finished with accuracy a strike reminiscent of his goal against Newcastle the weekend before.

    As Forest struggled to settle, Bournemouth kept up the pressure, forcing goalkeeper Matz Sels into two crucial saves before halftime thanks to goals from Ryan Christie and Antoine Semenyo, which kept the scoreline respectable for the time being.

    The second half, however, was all Bournemouth.

    In the 55th minute, Kluivert’s perfectly placed cross found Ouattara, who headed home to double the lead.

    Moments later, Kluivert thought he had added a third, but VAR ruled his goal out for offside. Bournemouth refused to relent, with Tyler Adams setting up Ouattara for his second goal in the 62nd minute.

    In other results, Paul Onuachu and Joe Aribo both played for Southampton in their 3-1 loss to Newcastle.

    All of the predictors and results bots will be assigning a high percentage number to Liverpool’s chances of winning the Premier League trophy, even though there are still a lot of points to win and possibly lose.

    It seems like victories against a strong Bournemouth team and a difficult match against a revitalized Everton in the coming games will be crucial to ensuring that such predictions come true.

    Szoboszlai’s position as the most attacking midfielder becomes more crucial now that Diogo Jota is sidelined once more due to injury and there isn’t a known striker through the middle.

    It’s a position that is nearly as offensive as center-forward, and Szoboszlai usually forms a two through the middle with the striker, especially in a game like this where Liverpool controls the ball.

    The Hungarian added his third Premier League goal of the season, scooping it up in that advanced midfield position and shooting a precise left-footed effort into the bottom corner.
