Former Liverpool defender Steve Nicol explains how the Reds can exploit Manchester City's weaknesses and hand Pep Guardiola's side their first league defeat.

        ESPN FC's Jonathan Smith and Mark Ogden break down the keys to Sunday's Premier League clash between Liverpool and Manchester City. 
            
        Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp says the club 'tried absolutely everything' to convince Philippe Coutinho to stay. 
            
        Jurgen Klopp hinted Liverpool could replace Philippe Coutinho during the January transfer window. Georginio Wijnaldum refuses to take any credit in luring Virgil van Dijk to Liverpool, admitting that his only advice to his Netherlands international teammate was to "follow his heart."

The former Southampton man completed a &#163;75 million move to Anfield earlier this month, and Wijnaldum says that while they talked before the transfer, there was no convincing needed on his part.
"We spoke a few times. I told him how the club was and everything," Wijnaldum told the Liverpool Echo ahead of Sunday's...




Liverpool haven't made offer for Naby Keita this month - Leipzig director


With Naby Keita striking a frustrated figure in training, the FC panel discuss the likelihood the Leipzig midfielder joins Liverpool this transfer window.

The Premier League club sealed an agreement with Keita last August to move to Anfield this summer, but sources have told ESPN FC that Liverpool continue to explore the possibility of bringing the forward aboard in this window.
But Leipzig do not want to lose Keita this month as they still remain in a battle to secure Champions League qualification for...



Watford's Troy Deeney admits VAR would have ruled out equaliser


ESPN FC's Craig Burley calls on the Premier League to expedite the implementation of VAR after Abdoulaye Doucoure's controversial equalizer against Southampton.

        Southampton looked destined to end their 10-match winless run in the Premier League, but Watford earned a share of the spoils with a late equalizer. 
            
        English Premier League: Abdoulaye Doucoure (90') Watford 2-2 Southampton Troy Deeney admitted Watford's controversial equaliser against Southampton would not have stood if a Video Assistant Referee had been in attendance.

Abdoulaye Doucoure secured a 2-2 draw for the Hornets with a blatant handball in the final minute.
The French midfielder stooped to nod Deeney's header back across goal into the net -- but the ball missed his head and he swept it home with his hand.
BBC pundit Martin Keown said Doucoure had "done a Maradona,"&nbsp;and even Watford skipper Deeney admitted...




Sam Allardyce 'shocked' with Everton's poor performance vs. Tottenham


Harry Kane became Tottenham's record goalscorer in the Premier League with 98 as Spurs breezed past Everton at Wembley.

        Harry Kane became Tottenham's record goalscorer in the Premier League with 98 as Spurs breezed past Everton at Wembley. Everton's squad can expect a rough time on the training pitch this week after Sam Allardyce vowed to stamp out any unprofessionalism in their ranks following Saturday's heavy 4-0 defeat at Tottenham.

Goals from Harry Kane, Christian Eriksen and Son Heung-Min ensured an easy day for the hosts, and left Allardyce fuming after the game.
"It's out of order," Allardyce told BT Sport. "[You have to] play your way back into the game and be professional about it. It shocked me. I haven't seen it since I...
