17m ago 05.49 EST Liverpool host Accrington Stanley in the FA Cup on Saturday (12.15pm) and, guess what, Arne Slot is aware of that advert. “I don’t know that much as I am only here half a year but I do know about the milk advert! There was a clip about it. I know people from this area also play for this club. And I know a lot about the team which today I’ll know even more about it.” Accrington are currently 19th in League Two if you were wondering although they’ve won their last two games. “Accrington Stanley!” Share

24m ago 05.42 EST Liverpool boss Arne Slot didn’t exactly fuel the Kavratskhelia rumours in his press conference earlier this morning. Talking about the Georgian star, the Reds manager said: “When you said they are linked with clubs, we are all linked! Kavratskhelia, it is January, and I said after West Ham, don’t disappoint me with links. That is what is happening now 99/100 at the end of the window. Almost all of these stories are untrue, so what can I comment about? The rumours keep going but no comments from my side.” Napoli have placed an $82m price tag on the winger apparently. Share

I’ve got to try and get something out of the game and do what is best for my team. One of their players had a pop at me which was bang out of order. We are not a charity case.” Share

50m ago 05.15 EST Jonathan Wilson reflects on Sean Dyche’s Everton exit. The numbers are surprising and perhaps currency for Dyche when he seeks future employment. But the style of football was, let’s be honest, utterly abysmal. Everton have lost only four of their past 16 games in all competitions.

Everton have kept five clean sheets in their past eight games and in the past month held Arsenal, Chelsea and Manchester City to draws. Dyche dismissal is a risk that puts Everton’s need to stay up in sharp focus | Jonathan Wilson Read more Share
