Liverpool look more and more unlikely by the game that they will retain the Premier League title.
Of course, collecting the top-flight trophy two seasons on the trot is a difficult feat even when you’re all guns blazing.
But, it’s definitely made more tricky when you assess how quickly the wheels are falling off Arne Slot’s title defence right now.
The Reds are already up to five defeats in league action this season, with newly promoted Sunderland only on two losses, in stark contrast.
Slot was also significantly backed in the summer, with the summer transfer business at Anfield no doubt catching the eye, when you consider a jaw-dropping £415m was splashed out by the Merseyside giants.
The likes of Alexander Isak and Milos Kerkez have really struggled to get going, having cost a substantial £165m alone to get through the door.
But, there is one high-profile name that is in very real danger of becoming Slot’s own Naby Keita. Yes, things really do look that bad at the moment.
The numbers behind Keita's Liverpool disaster
When Keita arrived at Anfield in 2018, there was a lot of fanfare surrounding his high-profile signing.
After all, Jurgen Klopp boldly announcde that the Guinean was the “best player in the league” in the Bundesliga when leaving behind RB Leipzig for a shot in England for a whopping a whopping £48m.
In Klopp’s defence, Keita had collected 16 goals and assists combined across all competitions for Leipzig during his swansong campaign and the former Reds number 8 did score some beautifully taken goals during his stint on Merseyside, as can be seen watching the entertaining highlight reel above.
But, with all the hype that had surrounded the capture at the time, it would have been Keita’s constant in-and-out presence in the treatment room that would have irritated Liverpool fans the most, with a staggering 122 games missed through injury for club and country across his five seasons in England.
In the end, he was let go at the expiry of his contract with Werder Bremen, with just 11 goals and seven assists to shout about.
Slot will pray he doesn’t have another Keita-like situation unfolding right now as Liverpool struggle for consistency, with another mega-money signing at risk of fading into the background.
Liverpool's Naby Keita repeat
The failed signing of Keita still stands as Liverpool’s eighth most expensive signing of all time.
Thankfully, above the hot-and-cold 30-year-old’s name in the rankings are the likes of Dominik Szoboszlai, Alisson, and Virgil Van Dijk, who are all figures Slot knows he can rely on.
Unfortunately, the same is yet to be applied to Florian Wirtz, who comes in as the Reds’ second most expensive capture at an astronomical £115m fee.
The German’s arrival from Bayer Leverkusen met with the same Keita-level hysteria, having been dubbed a “generational” talent by sports media professional Christian Nyari just last season.
With 57 goals and 65 assists under his belt for Leverkusen, it can be rationalised as to why Liverpool blew such a large chunk of their budget on Wirtz instantly coming good.
Indeed, Reds journalist Bence Boscak pleaded in the summer that Slot and Co needed to land his signature “whatever” the price may be.

Yet, much like they found out with Keita, blistering form in the Bundesliga doesn’t necessarily mean they will instantly hit the ground running on English shores, with Wirtz still yet to collect a single goal or assist in Premier League action.
Wirtz was particularly ineffective last time out as Liverpool were reminded of how far they’ve fallen in such a short space of time against Manchester City, with an unmemorable 39 touches of the ball seeing the German fail to amass one single key pass.
It’s even clearer from the graphic above how much the number 7 has been “struggling” – as journalist Mark Ogden has noted – in his new surroundings, with both his take-on success percentage rate and duels being won per ninety minutes success rate taking a significant hit.
Analyst Darnish Iqbal has even branded the deal as a “disaster”, with it not being a stretch to state that it is Liverpool’s biggest disappointment in the transfer window since Keita joined way back in 2018. Perhaps the Reds should avoid the Bundesliga for now?
Wirtz, hopefully, won’t fall victim to Keita’s same fate in leaving for cheap though, with glimmers of his quality here and there – as seen in the playmaker amassing five key passes against Real Madrid – meaning Liverpool will hold onto him for the time being, praying he hits his Leverkusen heights on a consistent basis down the line.
Not Wirtz or Isak: Liverpool's "nervous wreck" at risk of becoming Nunez 2.0
Liverpool have fallen by the wayside under Arne Slot’s leadership this season.
West Ham are in dire need of a new striker to relieve the pressure on Nuno Espírito Santo.
Nuno Espírito Santo requests three signings for West Ham in January
Alongside a centre-forward, it is also believed that West Ham’s new boss has personally urged both chairman David Sullivan and vice-chair Karren Brady to bring a new defender and midfielder as soon as the next January window (GiveMeSport).
This is somewhat backed up by Sky Sports too, who reiterate that the Hammers are indeed targeting a defender, midfielder and attacker in January, with Nuno also getting “confirmation” he would have money to spend.
Going by this flurry of reports, West Ham could be set for one of their busiest January windows in recent memory, and it’s definitely needed.
West Ham’s results in the Premier League so far
Sunderland 3-0 West Ham
West Ham 1-5 Chelsea
Nottingham Forest 0-3 West Ham
West Ham 0-3 Tottenham
West Ham 1-2 Crystal Palace
Everton 1-1 West Ham
Arsenal 2-0 West Ham
West Ham 0-2 Brentford
West Ham limped to an uninspired 2-0 defeat to Brentford in their last game, which was Nuno’s first home match since taking charge as manager, with the east Londoners completely failing to lay a glove on Keith Andrews’ side who strutted to victory with ease.
The scoreline could’ve been even worse for West Ham, on a night marred by large protests from the Hammers faithful against their club’s ownership. Brentford attempted a whopping 17 shots on goal and found it far too easy on enemy turf, with this performance highlighting exactly why reinforcements are badly needed.
Even though West Ham look soft as butter defensively, almost every supporter is desperate to see Sullivan and Brady go into the market and sign an exciting striker who can provide that needed injection of quality going forward.
WestHamUnited manager GrahamPotter and Callum Wilson celebrate after the match
Callum Wilson, who has a torrid injury record, and the inexperienced Callum Marshall are Nuno’s only natural options right now, forcing the West Ham boss to play Lucas Paqueta as a false nine against Brentford on Monday.
This experiment failed, with Paqueta failing to make an impact and losing possession a whopping 23 times.
Niclas Füllkrug, adding to his extensive list of missed games already for West Ham, is set to be “out for a while” after tearing a muscle bundle in his thigh, so the German cannot be relied upon yet again.
Luckily for Nuno, media sources suggest that West Ham are actively trying to solve their striker conundrum, and a key target emerging for the Irons is £53 million Real Madrid sensation Endrick on loan.
Some reports claim that West Ham are even holding talks with Real over a temporary deal for Endrick already, coming after Fabrizio Romano confirmed that the Brazil international is expected to leave on a dry loan.
Given Endrick’s desperation for game time, a temporary stint at West Ham could be perfect for all parties involved, with the 19-year-old still classed as one of Brazil’s most exciting up-and-coming talents.
West Ham in pole position to sign Endrick from Real Madrid
Endrick, thanks in part to fitness issues, hasn’t managed to work his way into the Real starting eleven on a consistent basis, but did score five Copa del Rey goals en route to the final last season, before Los Blancos lost to rivals Barcelona.
The Premier League could be beckoning for a player who’s looking to battle his way into Carlo Ancelotti’s squad for the World Cup, and West Ham are looking to take advantage.
According to reports from Spain, West Ham are “leading the race” to secure Endrick on loan, ahead of both Newcastle and Aston Villa.
Nuno’s side have expressed serious interest in bringing the teenage striker to England, and Endrick himself sees a temporary move away as critical for his development.
However, while it is reported by some that discussions have been held, a temporary move to another La Liga side is also factored in as a serious option, so West Ham won’t have a free run at his signature.
A striker who Harry Maguire called “world-class” has now emerged as a key target for Manchester United, having made a fantastic start to the season.
Man Utd keen on new striker despite Sesko's improved form
There were some concerns about the way in which Benjamin Sesko started the season, given that the striker is among Man United’s most expensive signings of all-time, but the Slovenian has started to put in improved performances in recent weeks.
The 22-year-old scored United’s only goal in the disappointing 3-1 loss against Brentford, before going on to score the second in the 2-0 victory over Sunderland, finding the back of the net with a smart finish from inside the box.
Despite the uptick in Sesko’s output, however, the Red Devils remain keen on adding another striker to their ranks, with Ruben Amorim arguably a little light on options, given that Joshua Zirkzee, who scored just three Premier League goals last term, is the current back-up.
According to a report from TEAMtalk, Man United have now identified Bayern Munich striker Harry Kane as a key target, although their chances of beating Tottenham Hotspur to his signature are dependent upon improving their current league standing.
United may struggle to convince Kane to move to Old Trafford, with the striker prioritising a move to a club playing in Europe and competing for regular silverware, and the 32-year-old’s emotional connection to Spurs could play a part in his decision-making.
The former Tottenham man, who joined Bayern Munich for £86m back in 2023, arguably has unfinished business in the Premier League, with Alan Shearer’s goal record within reach, although he has already established himself as one of the best strikers in top-flight history.
"World-class" Kane would be major coup for Man Utd
Man United are credited with a long-term interest in the Bayern star, and it is no surprise, given that he is England’s all-time leading goalscorer, with Maguire previously lauding the impact his teammate has made at international level.
The centre-back said: “He leads by example on and off the pitch and he’s a great person to have around the dressing room. He’s a magnificent, world-class player. He proves it year after year and his attitude to training is the reason why.”
The England captain has been a consistent top-level striker for more than a decade, but there are early signs the current campaign could be his best yet, having already bagged a whopping 18 goals in all competitions.

Kane would evidently be a major coup for Man United, but it is difficult to envisage a deal getting done unless there are major improvements before the 2026 summer transfer window.
Manchester United supporters are clinging on to all and any green shoots of recovery right now.
On Saturday, Rúben Amorim’s team claimed a much-needed victory going into the international break, beating Sunderland 2-0 at Old Trafford, thanks to goals from Mason Mount and then Benjamin Šeško.
Next up, the Red Devils take on champions and fierce rivals Liverpool at Anfield, before tough-looking fixtures against Brighton, Nottingham Forest and then Tottenham.
Ahead of this challenging period, has Amorim unearthed a deadly attacking duo reminiscent of Dwight Yorke and Andy Cole from Manchester United’s glory days?
In numbers: Dwight Yorke and Andy Cole at Man United
Back in 1998/98, Manchester United famously won the treble, beating Newcastle in the FA Cup Final, pipping Arsenal to the Premier League title by a solitary point on the final day, before that historic comeback against Bayern Munich to snatch the Champions League.
Fair to say, Yorke and Cole were key figures in this success, scoring 29 and 24 goals respectively across all competitions.
As the table below documents, this makes them one of the most dangerous attacking duos in Premier League history.

Yorke, who is currently the manager of Trinidad and Tobago, bet you didn’t know that, arrived at Old Trafford from Aston Villa, later representing Blackburn, Birmingham and Sunderland.
Cole meantime, was poached from Newcastle, where he’d been a massive star, turning out for 12 English clubs in total.
Now, does the current iteration of Manchester United have a duo who could replicate the famous Yorke and Cole duo?
Manchester United's modern-day Yorke and Cole
As Amorim searches for a winning formula, while they may not be a traditional strike partnership, Amad Diallo alongside Bryan Mbeumo could be the pair of attackers to fire Manchester United up the table.
Amad was arguably the Red Devils’ most dangerous attacker last season, registering 11 goals and ten assists, most memorably scoring a stoppage-time winner in the Manchester derby at the Etihad.
After arriving as a teenager from Atalanta for up to £37m, the Ivorian endured an underwhelming loan spell at Rangers, before showcasing his talents at Sunderland, scoring 14 goals for the Black Cats, firing them into the EFL Championship play-offs.
Now, Amad is earning plaudits for his performances back at Man United, with Darren Bent, speaking on talkSPORT, labelled him a “wonderkid”, adding that he is the club’s “best [player] by some distance” after he scored a hat-trick against Southampton in January.
Mbeumo, meanwhile, joined for a reported fee of £71m this summer, having scored 20 Premier League goals for Brentford last season.
The Cameroonian international opened his Man United league account against Burnley in August, while he has had more shots (17) of any player at the club so far this season.
An electric winger, Carl Anka of the Athletic has asserted that he is certainly ‘one of the better forwards in the Premier League’.
So now, how does Amorim get both into the same starting lineup?
Well, Man United signed an entirely new front three in the summer, with Matheus Cunha yet to get off the mark, but Šeško has scored against both Brentford and Sunderland, thereby opening his account for the club.
ManchesterUnited's Bryan Mbeumo celebrates scoring their second goal with teammates Bruno Fernandes and Amad Diallo
In a solution to get them all in, Amad was deployed at wing-back for Sunderland’s visit, a decision that proved successful.
At the weekend, as outlined by Adam Bate of Sky Sports, Amad and Mbeumo as a duo were very ‘impressive’, with the Ivorian attempting six dribbles, his highest figure in any home league game under Amorim, with the manager himself stating that “he can help Bryan to play more inside and worry more with the runs behind the defenders”.
Chalkboard
Football FanCast’s Chalkboard series presents a tactical discussion from around the global game.
Well, Black Cats boss Régis Le Bris certainly agreed, noting afterwards that Man United “are really strong on the side”, adding that this forced him into making a lesser-spotted tactical substitution in the first half.
Meantime, journalist Muhammad Butt labelled them a “superb double-act”, praising their “wonderful chemistry and creativity”, with Carl Anka of the Athletic concluding that this match was 2the best pair have played with each other” to date.
Thus, Amad’s form both last season and at the weekend necessitates getting him into the side somehow.
For tougher fixtures, he should potentially be used at Cunha’s expense in attack, while in games where the onus is on Manchester United to create and break down the opposition, he has to be chosen over Diogo Dalot or Noussair Mazraoui at right-wing-back, given that they offer so little going forward.
In summary, it is still early days, but this duo could be Man United’s best partnership since the glory days of the late-90s.
Their own Yamal: Man Utd teen is "one of the world's most exciting talents"
Manchester United have an exceptional teenager in their academy ranks.
Harry Kane has, during an exclusive either/or quiz with GOAL, pieced together a star-studded XI made up of Premier League and Bundesliga legends. The England captain has, of course, graced both of those divisions across spells with Tottenham and Bayern Munich. He has now made some intriguing selections from a list that includes the likes of Steven Gerrard, Frank Lampard, Oliver Kahn and Gerd Muller.
Kane's goal record in England and Germany
Kane rewrote the history books in his homeland with Spurs, moving 47 efforts adrift of Alan Shearer’s record-breaking tally of Premier League goals, before stepping out of his comfort zone in the summer of 2023. A move to German has proven to be productive, with long-awaited major silverware being secured when landing the Bundesliga title in 2024-25.
Kane has added two more Golden Boots to his collection in Bavaria, while passing 100 goals for the European heavyweights, and continues to maintain remarkable individual standards at 32 years of age. There could come a day when he goes down as a bonafide legend in English and German football.

For now, Kane is happy to pick between performers who already enjoy icon status. He was charged with the task of compiling a team made up of Premier League and Bundesliga greats that would have lined up in a 4-5-1 formation.
The list of players given to Kane and his selections were:

GettyKane explains differences between Premier League & Bundesliga
Kane has previously spoken of the “confidence” that he gets from being mentioned in the same breath as World Cup-winning England captain Moore – as he now fills that armband with the Three Lions. He has previously said of being inspired by legendary No.9 Muller after stepping into his boots at Bayern: “I wanted to find out what he was like and how he played. He was an incredible goalscorer and, from what I hear, above all, an incredible person. It’s very special for me to follow in his footsteps.”
Kane is now fully adjusted to life in Germany, alongside wife Kate and their four children, with a new experience proving to be everything that he hoped it would be. Kane said shortly after his move to the Allianz Arena of noticeable differences between the Premier League and Bundesliga: “It was my first transfer after a really long time at Tottenham, so I didn’t really know what to expect. I just believed in myself and my abilities. It was clear to me that I would be joining a great team, but I wasn’t sure exactly what to expect and how everything would work out. But now I’m totally happy with how I’ve settled in in Munich and with the team. Bayern Munich was a really good option for me. I wanted to experience something different, I wanted to get to know European football.”
He added: "In the Bundesliga more teams try to play out from the back, more teams press and sometimes even play man against man. Therefore, the spaces are a bit bigger, which we can take advantage of by bringing pace into our game. In the Premier League there's probably a bit more structure – a few more teams defend in block. Regarding the atmosphere, it's fantastic in Germany – completely different to the Premier League.”

A post shared by Zimbabwe Football Team (@warriorszimbabwe)
Chelsea boss Enzo Maresca looked as if he had gone public with his desire to sign a new centre-back this summer after Levi Colwill’s injury, amid their ongoing attempts to bring in both Man United winger Alejandro Garnacho and RB Leipzig’s Xavi Simons.
Colwill will miss the majority of 2025/2026 after tearing his ACL, leaving Maresca with precious few options for his backline, and the Italian stated last week that the club need more names in that area.
However, in his press conference prior to Chelsea’s clash with West Ham at the London Stadium, Maresca has now gone back on that message, claiming it was lost in translation, and they’re looking at finding an internal solution.
Benoit Badiashile is still injured and will remain out until September, but it is worth noting that members of the Chelsea coaching staff are backing him as a reliable option behind-the-scenes.
Renato Veiga has just sealed a £26 million move to Villarreal, so he can no longer be called upon, while Axel Disasi is believed to be attracting serious interest from Bournemouth.
According to journalist Sebastian Staszewski, they were considering a defensive rising star earlier in the window, but talks have hit a “standstill”.
Chelsea pause talks for Motor Lublin defender Bright Ede
As per the reporter, Chelsea have “paused talks” for Motor Lublin defender Bright Ede, after previously being interested, and this has handed Man United a chance to swoop in and get the teenager instead.
The £7 million defender would come in among BlueCo’s pool of promising young talents, but if Chelsea were to sign a centre-back before the deadline, they arguably need a more proven asset, despite lots of praise for Ede from certain sectors.
The summer window may now have slammed shut for another year, but Everton can still be active outside of the window with a free agent signing on the table.
Dewsbury-Hall shows love for Everton fans
The Blues have made an encouraging start to the new Premier League season, winning two of their three matches, seeing off Brighton and Wolves in back-to-back recent outings.
Multiple new Everton signings have made a positive impression at the Hill Dickinson Stadium, and while Jack Grealish is stealing the plaudits, Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall, who scored against Wolves, has spoken glowingly about his new fans after joining from Chelsea earlier this summer.
“I always knew how good the Everton fans were, but genuinely, home and away, you don’t see an empty seat, which for me tells you all you need to know.
“They’ve welcomed me so well since I’ve got here, which means a lot for me and my family and gives me the confidence to go and try to play well for the Club. Look, it was a great day today. I’m happy that we sent them home with three points and yeah, on to the next. It’s been a big, big week and the players deserve a lot of credit.”
While the window has closed, there is still a chance for Everton to sign players who are free agents, which has led to a promising new update emerging.
Everton backed to make out-of-window signing
Speaking to Everton News, journalist Graeme Bailey claimed that Everton could still look to sign a new defender – one who is without a club currently and therefore a free agent. Celtic have already done something similar, bringing in Kelechi Iheanacho after the window shut on Tuesday due to their striker shortage.
On the face of it, Everton’s squad looks fairly strong after an impressive summer, with the likes of Grealish, Thierno Barry and Tyler Dibling adding plenty of firepower in the final third.
That said, added squad depth is never a bad thing, and if Moyes feels that another defender would bolster his side’s chance of enjoying a successful season, he needs to be trusted, especially given how much of a problem position the right-back spot has been in recent years.

With Jarrad Branthwaite out injured currently, there is arguably a lack of depth at centre-back too, with veteran pair James Tarkowski and Michael Keane being relied upon week in week out. There is also no guarantee that Branthwaite will remain an Everton player for the long-term future, so if the right player is available on a free transfer, it is certainly something that the Blues should look into.

Kurt Zouma could be a potential option, for example, especially as Moyes knows him so well from their time together at West Ham, with the 30-year-old bringing experience to the back-line.
Durante o clássico entre Corinthians e São Paulo, que terminou empatado por 1 a 1, a construção das jogadas que originaram o gol de Michel Araujo chamaram atenção.

Isso porque demandou um trabalho coletivo e precisou de 22 toques até a bola chegar ao gol alvinegro, sem dar chances de defesas para o goleiro Cássio. Ao todo, o Tricolor teve a posse de bola por pouco mais de um minuto – o que foi registrado pelo perfil oficial do clube nas redes sociais após o término da partida.
No lance, dez atletas participaram da construção do gol – sendo a assistência partindo de Rafinha, pelo lado direito, que pouco antes tinha recebido a bola de Wellington Rato. Mas antes disso, o começo da jogada surgiu com Rafael, após a cobrança de um tiro de meta.

Este gol mostrou algumas das características que tem sido desenvolvidas sob o comando de Dorival Júnior: ofensividade, posse de bola e criação por dentro. E isso pode ser demonstrado com base em números.

De acordo com dados do FootStats, durante o clássico com o Corinthians, a equipe de Dorival teve uma média de 638 passes certos – o que é muito, principalmente se comparar com as estatísticas do rival, que contou com somente 303 passes certos, não sendo nem a metade do Tricolor. Além disso, teve cerca de 65% da posse de bola.
Inclusive, algumas interações entre jogadores chamaram atenção. Entre elas, duas em destaque: Arboleda e Beraldo (que estão rendendo bastante no setor defensivo) e Rafinha e Gabriel Neves (que chama atenção uma vez que mostra justamente esta capacidade de saída por dentro). Ou seja, a defesa trocava os passes para gerar espaço, e quando a bola chegava no Rafinha, a procura era por Gabriel Neves para a saída por dentro – citada anteriormente.
Porém, mesmo com estas características cada vez mais evidentes, ainda existem pontos a serem melhorados – principalmente na parte ofensiva. Ainda segundo estatísticas do FootStats, o Tricolor ainda peca nas finalizações. Contra o Corintians, foram seis tentativas – com somente uma certa.
No Brasileiro todo, está entre os últimos colocados no ranking referente ao fundamento. Ao todo, foram 73 finalizações, com somente 26 certas. Em primeiro lugar, está o Palmeiras – vice-líder da tabela da competição e 113 no total, com 48 certas.
