In what has been a thrilling Premier League season, Liverpool will meet Crystal Palace at Anfield on Sunday afternoon. Earlier in the season, the Reds celebrated their second title victory in the club’s illustrious history. However, their recent performance has declined dramatically, as they have lost their past three league games. This raises concerns about their consistency as the season comes to a close, since they have suffered two heartbreaking losses and a disheartening draw against a resolute Arsenal team.
In light of Palace’s FA Cup victory last weekend and the fact that the two sides will face each other again in the Community Shield at the beginning of next season, manager Arne Slot is eager to see his team perform better as they get ready to meet Palace. Both teams will be keen to establish early dominance, so this forthcoming meeting adds even more suspense.
In transfer news, Liverpool has emerged as one of several Premier League clubs interested in bolstering their squad with the addition of England international Anthony Gordon this summer. According to reports from CaughtOffside, Liverpool, along with Chelsea and Arsenal, are contemplating reigniting their pursuit of the talented Newcastle United winger.
Gordon, who has made a notable impact since joining Newcastle from Everton in January 2023, has displayed remarkable skill and consistency, netting 22 goals and providing 23 assists in 105 matches for the North East club. His strong performances have earned him a place in Thomas Tuchel’s England squad for forthcoming international fixtures against Andorra and Senegal, highlighting his growing reputation at both club and national levels.
Despite the interest from some of the Premier League’s biggest clubs, Newcastle manager Eddie Howe is likely to be highly reluctant to part with such a key player. Chelsea had previously attempted to secure Gordon’s services during his time at Everton, while Tuchel was at the helm; the report suggests the West London club might attempt another move this summer.
Liverpool and Arsenal are similarly keeping a close watch on Gordon, but both clubs may hesitate to meet Newcastle’s hefty valuation, which is reported to be in the region of £70-75 million. Additionally, Gordon’s contract with St. James’ Park expires at the end of the 2029–2030 season, giving Newcastle leverage in negotiations and making any potential transfer more difficult. Supporters will be keeping a careful eye on this talented English player’s development as the summer transfer window approaches.
