Liverpool might feel confident of another Anfield turnaround this next but this is an ordinary side going nowhere this season. The title of 'Champions League quarter-finalists' will flatter them.

All the build-up, team news and live updates from Rams Park as #LFC are hosted by Galatasaray in the Champions League. It's a 5.45pm kick-off time for those back at home. @iandoylesport.bsky.social is our man in Istanbul.

Alisson Becker won't travel with #LFC to Turkey to face Galatasaray. The goalkeeper pulled up with an issue in Monday's training session. Giorgi Mamardashvili will deputise.
Ryan Gravenberch has signed a new contract, keeping him at Liverpool until the summer of 2032. #LFC feel Gravenberch has developed into one of the outstanding midfielders on the continent and have rewarded him with terms that reflect his growing importance.

"If he keeps making the decisions and things like that like he did tonight, he will have a special career."
Andy Robertson says Rio Ngumoha can have a "special career" at #LFC if he continues to listen to the advice of his more experienced colleagues.
www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/sport/footba...
This was the sort of performance that vindicated those who have been advocating for Rio Ngumoha to feature more prominently in recent weeks. Report as #LFC book their place in the quarter-finals of the FA Cup.
www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/sport/footba...
Full time: Wolves 1-3 Liverpool.
Arne Slot's side become the first team to book their place in the last eight. One step closer to an appearance at Wembley. Ngumoha the standout performer on the night. Wirtz return a huge positive too.

Liverpool will return to the United States this summer for three friendlies as their pre-season preparations take further shape.
⭕ Sunderland, GEODIS Park, Nashville, July 25
⭕ Wrexham, Yankee Stadium, New York, July 29
⭕ Leeds United, Soldier Field, Chicago, August 2
Virgil van Dijk accepts failure to qualify for the Champions League will have a detrimental impact on what Liverpool are able to do in this summer's transfer window.

A game that ticked every single box that has made this a grotesque season for Liverpool.
A meaningless first half.
Forced to respond.
Forward on, defender off, structural collapse.
Stoppage-time winner against them.
Report from Wolves.
www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/sport/footba...

No Florian Wirtz for tomorrow's visit of West Ham but Jeremie Frimpong is available. Lots of discussion around Rio Ngumoha and Mohamed Salah too in Arne Slot's press conference from the AXA Training Centre this morning.

Virgil van Dijk says the nature of Liverpool's last-gasp winner against Nottingham Forest is proof of the mentality that exists within Arne Slot's squad.

Liverpool: Alisson; Szoboszlai, Konate, Van Dijk, Kerkez; Gravenberch, Mac Allister; Salah, Wirtz, Gakpo; Ekitike.

Virgil van Dijk says the Liverpool squad are "gutted" for Wataru Endo as the midfielder faces up to what is feared will be a lengthy spell on the sidelines.
"We are going to be together with him all the way and support him with everything he needs."
www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/sport/footba...
If an apparently restless Arne Slot admitted to sleepless nights before this FA Cup visit from Brighton, the Liverpool boss will at least rest easy for the remainder of his weekend. Verdict from Anfield as #LFC secure a fifth-round place.
www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/sport/footba...
Half-time ratings are now in. Milos Kerkez the pick of the bunch but also can't overlook the midfielder playing at right-back whose goal separates the sides.

Liverpool: Alisson; Jones, Konate, Van Dijk, Kerkez; Szoboszlai, Mac Allister; Salah, Wirtz, Gakpo; Chiesa.

"It’s a process and let’s see what comes out of it. Obviously I want him to stay. He’s one of the leaders."
Virgil van Dijk is hopeful of "world-class" Ibrahima Konate signing a new #LFC contract but admits the situation is in the club's hands.

If you can't beat them, join them. Liverpool embrace the agricultural revolution of the Premier League to secure a big win in their Champions League qualification quest.
