Liverpool boss Arne Slot has backed Florian Wirtz to continue finding the back of the net after the midfielder finally scored his first goal for the club in Saturday's 2-1 Premier League win over Wolverhampton Wanderers.

Liverpool defeated Wolves 2-1 in the Premier League this weekend, but there is still plenty they can improve on going into the match against Leeds United on New Year's Day

Arsenal captain Martin Odegaard has heaped praise on team-mate Declan Rice but Liverpool boss Arne Slot bemoaned the champions’ luck with injuries. Archie Gray’s first career goal ensured Tottenham ended a rollercoaster 2025 with a 1-0 win at Crystal Palace to ease the pressure on Frank.

Liverpool maintained their improvement in results when they held off the threat of rock-bottom Wolves with a 2-1 victory at Anfield on Saturday. The Reds have now moved back into the top four on the strength of a six-game unbeaten run in the top flight - matching their longest such sequence since April.

Arne Slot appeared to get Mohamed Salah back on side before he left Liverpool for the Africa Cup of Nations, but his long-term future remains uncertain

Liverpool manager Arne Slot brushed aside the prospect of a recall for Harvey Elliott to fill the void left by Alexander Isak’s serious injury. Despite the most extravagant outlay in football history, the Reds are still short upfront. The sales of Darwin Núñez and Luis Díaz followed the tragic passing of Diogo Jota this summer.

Arne Slot’s rejuvenated Liverpool have every chance of finishing the 2025-26 season strongly while contending for silverware in the FA Cup and Champions League.
