Liverpool's flawless start to the Premier League season came to an end on Saturday with a 2-1 defeat at Crystal Palace. Arne Slot's side were off the pace in the first half and despite a late goal from Federico Chiesa, a 98th-minute winner secured the points for the Eagles. The Reds remain top of the table, but now only two points ahead of Arsenal.
Ex-Manchester United star Wayne Rooney has cast doubt on Marc Guehi's potential move to Liverpool. The Crystal Palace captain almost joined the Reds on transfer deadline day, but the deal fell through. Speaking on his podcast, Rooney said of Guehi: 'I think he's a special player... Will he be at Palace next year? I really doubt it.' However, Rooney joked he would 'definitely not' end up at Liverpool and suggested Arsenal or Chelsea might intervene.
The defeat has also affected the atmosphere at Liverpool's Kirkby training base. Reports indicate that training sessions on Monday had a more serious tone, with less joking around, as the squad prepared for Tuesday's Champions League clash against Galatasaray.
Meanwhile, Liverpool have received an update on Bayern Munich's Michael Olise. Bundesliga expert Christian Falk reports that the Reds are 'watching' the French international, with Manchester City also interested. Bayern are reportedly seeking around £87 million and are keen to offer Olise a new contract to ward off interest. Olise has scored four goals and provided four assists for Bayern this season.
