Liverpool's pursuit of Champions League football continues on Sunday against Nottingham Forest, with manager Arne Slot aware of the need for consistency. Despite a poor run late last year, the Reds have lost only twice in the Premier League in 2025, to Bournemouth and Manchester City.
Mohamed Salah's future at Anfield appears secure despite previous tensions. After a controversial post-match comment in December suggesting he was 'thrown under the bus,' the forward has returned from the Africa Cup of Nations to find form. In seven games since his return, he has scored two goals and provided four assists, helping Liverpool score 20 goals compared to 11 in the seven matches he missed.
Interest from Saudi Arabia is expected to persist this summer, with Salah entering the final year of his contract. However, the club turned down a £150million offer in 2023, and given his outstanding 2024/25 season while in a similar contract situation, fans are confident he will remain a key player for another campaign.
Meanwhile, former Liverpool midfielder Thiago Alcantara will make an emotional return to Anfield for a charity legends match against Borussia Dortmund on March 28. The 34-year-old, who retired two years ago, played 98 times for the Reds after joining from Bayern Munich for £26million in 2020, winning the FA Cup and League Cup in 2021-22.
Thiago will join other club icons including Steven Gerrard, Sami Hyypia, and Jerzy Dudek for the fixture. In a farewell message, he expressed gratitude for the support he received from fans during his injury-hit spell on Merseyside.
