Mac Allister and Diaz Start in Predicted Liverpool XI vs Real Madrid

Liverpool’s perfect start to the Champions League will be tested as they host defending champions Real Madrid at Anfield on matchday five.
The Reds are in excellent form across all competitions, especially in the Champions League, where they comfortably beat Bayer Leverkusen 4-0 in their last match and have conceded just one goal in four games so far.
With that said, here is a look at the possible eleven Arne Slot will pick for the visit of Madrid.
Goalkeeper Alisson Becker will miss the game against Real Madrid, as confirmed by the manager, meaning Caoimhin Kelleher will retain his place between the sticks on Wednesday night.
Defenders Ibrahima Konaté and Virgil van Dijk have conceded just nine goals in 16 Premier League and Champions League matches this season, making them one of Europe’s most solid defensive partnerships. Both are expected to feature at the heart of Liverpool’s defense against Real Madrid.
Trent Alexander-Arnold trained ahead of the match but, as revealed by Arne Slot, he will not start, meaning Conor Bradley could be preferred over Joe Gomez at right-back. Meanwhile, Andy Robertson is likely to retain his place at left-back with Kostas Tsimikas sidelined due to injury.
Mac Allister and Diaz return to the eleven
Midfielders – Curtis Jones, who featured in the double pivot against Southampton, could be replaced by the more experienced Alexis Mac Allister. The £35 million signing was likely rested over the weekend to prepare for a tough week ahead, including a long flight back from South America. Ryan Gravenberch is expected to partner Mac Allister in the deeper midfield role.
Dominik Szoboszlai has been in fine form as well, so he might also get the nod against Real Madrid as the number 10.
Mohamed Salah, who has scored twice against Real Madrid, including the last time they visited Anfield, is likely to start on the right wing, having been Liverpool’s standout player this season. £50 million forward Luis Díaz, who netted a hat-trick in Liverpool’s last Champions League game, could replace Cody Gakpo on the left flank.
Forward – Darwin Nunez was also on target when Madrid last played at Anfield and with Diogo Jota injured, a start as the team’s solitary striker could belong to him.

Tottenham eye summer move for West Ham’s Kudus

Tottenham are enduring a disappointing season, currently sitting 14th in the Premier League. Their only realistic route to European football next season is winning the Europa League. Failure to do so could see Ange Postecoglou dismissed by the board.
Despite uncertainty over who will be in charge next season, Tottenham are already planning their summer moves. According to Ghana Soccer Net (h/t 90min), Spurs are keen to compete with Newcastle for the signing of West Ham’s dynamic forward, Mohammed Kudus.
Mohammed Kudus could move this summer for £80 million, and with Son Heung-min aging, Tottenham view the former Ajax star as a potential successor to their captain. The versatile 24-year-old can play as a left winger, center forward, right flank, or in advanced midfield roles.
Kudus not worth the price tag
Tottenham Hotspur clearly need to invest in their attacking options. With doubts surrounding Son Heung-min’s future, and potential departures for Richarlison and Timo Werner, the club has strong reason to explore alternatives. A versatile talent like Mohammed Kudus is certainly a player worth considering.
An £80 million price tag is far from ideal for a player who has scored just three goals and provided two assists in 25 Premier League appearances this season. While West Ham’s poor form and struggles may play a part, it still doesn’t justify such a high asking price for Mohammed Kudus.
For £80 million, Spurs could target a player with better statistics from elsewhere in Europe, or even strengthen multiple positions with an expected squad overhaul. It’s unclear if West Ham will be open to negotiations, but even with a reasonable discount, Kudus still may not be a financially attractive option.

Liverpool ‘confident’ of beating Arsenal to Isak signing

Liverpool lost 3-2 to Fulham at Craven Cottage last weekend, and while they’re still in the title race, a familiar issue resurfaced: a lack of goals from the forwards. The board is expected to address this weakness in the summer.
Signing a striker is set to be a top priority for Liverpool, especially with Darwin Nunez, Diogo Jota, and Luis Diaz all linked with possible exits. Newcastle’s Alexander Isak has emerged as a key target, and according to Graeme Bailey (via Rousing the Kop), the Reds are growing ‘confident’ of securing his signature.
Arsenal are also reportedly keen on Alexander Isak, with Mikel Arteta eager to bring in a new striker. This sets up a potential transfer battle between the Premier League rivals. Newcastle have valued the Swedish forward at £150 million, but that figure could drop if Isak pushes for a move.
Isak would be a dream signing for Liverpool
In recent days, Liverpool appear to have made encouraging progress toward keeping Mohamed Salah. If the Egyptian star stays, signing Alexander Isak would mark a major upgrade for the squad. The former Real Sociedad striker seems like the ideal partner to thrive alongside Liverpool’s talisman.
Isak has netted 24 goals and registered five assists across all competitions this season. Beyond his sharp finishing, he’s also effective at creating chances from deeper positions due to his strong hold-up play. That makes him a great fit not just for Salah, but also someone who could help unlock the best in Cody Gakpo.
Newcastle may hold off on any talks for Isak until the summer as they aim to finish the season without distractions. However, once the transfer window opens, all eyes will be on how strongly Liverpool pursue the striker—and just how much Newcastle are realistically willing to accept for their star forward.

Porro and Van de Ven return as Postecoglou makes 5 changes | Predicted Tottenham XI vs Chelsea

Tottenham boss Ange Postecoglou faces pressure to save his job, with his team’s performances under close scrutiny for the rest of the season. His next challenge is against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge tonight, as Spurs aim to bounce back from just one win in their last five matches across all competitions.
Spurs have not won any of their last three Premier League matches, so there’s plenty of work to be done. However, with Manchester United losing to Nottingham Forest, a win could lift them to 12th in the league. Here’s a look at the team that could be tasked with securing an unlikely derby win over Chelsea.
Goalkeeper – Guglielmo Vicario is likely to retain his place in goal ahead of Antonin Kinsky.
Defenders – Micky van de Ven may return to the centre-back role alongside Cristian Romero, while Pedro Porro could rejoin the lineup, possibly replacing Djed Spence at right-back. Destiny Udogie is expected to keep his place at left-back.
Maddison, Sarr and Son to start
Midfielders – Ange Postecoglou could make two changes in midfield. Yves Bissouma is likely to retain his spot as the defensive midfielder, while James Maddison and Pape Matar Sarr could start as the left and right midfielders, respectively. Though Dejan Kulusevski is close to full fitness, he is unlikely to be risked against Chelsea.
Forwards – Son Heung-min could replace Mathys Tel on the left wing, likely being the only change in the final third. Dominic Solanke is set to lead the line, while Brennan Johnson is expected to keep his place on the right wing.
