      by

      He was one of the standout performers in Qatar, helping his country to reach the semi-finals for a second successive time.
      And his impressive displays saw Chelsea eye up a £45million move.
      However, they ended up landing Monaco man Benoit Badiashile for £35m and could now miss out on Gvardiol altogether.
      According to The Star, Man City are lining him up as a replacement for Aymeric Laporte.

      Spaniard Laporte, 28, is being linked with a move to Paris Saint-Germain at the end of the season.
      He still has two years left on his existing deal, but the arrival of Manuel Akanji has limited his game time at the Etihad.
      He has started just six Premier League games in the 2022/23 campaign.
      And Pep Guardiola is understood to be an admirer of Gvardiol – who scored for Leipzig against Man City in the Champions League last month.

      But he is now expected to set clubs back around £60m after he penned an extension until 2027 at the beginning of the season – which includes a £97m release clause.
      Chelsea, Manchester United, Liverpool and Real Madrid are all other potential destinations for Gvardiol.
      He has made 75 appearances for the Bundesliga side since arriving from Dinamo Zagreb in 2020. More

      But Neville now believes they cannot be caught by Erik ten Hag’s side, despite stating the opposite earlier this week.
      Speaking ahead of United’s trip to Liverpool, Neville told Sky Sports: “There might be a couple in that dressing room that might think let’s hang in there let’s see if anyone slips up.
      “I don’t think they will do it this season I think they’re too far off Arsenal and City.”
      Fans have been quick to call out the pundit after he predicted United to finish second, above Arsenal.

      Earlier this week Neville was confident United would finish above Arsenal, suggesting Mikel Arteta’s side could drop to third if their title challenge fades before the final few games.

      He said on The Overlap: “That’s my inkling earlier in the season, what normally happens is one team gets so close they realise they can’t win it and then they just go like that in the last two or three games.
      “You lose two games and then all of a sudden someone else goes above you. I thought City would win the league and United would finish second two or three months ago.
      “To be fair, I’m not going to change my mind on it. I still think City are going to win the league even though Arsenal, the closer it gets… but 14 games is still a long way to go. I still think United will finish second.” More

      Marcos Sensei got Bournemouth’s second, heading home from a corner, sending the away section into pandemonium.

      And despite Neto’s best efforts to slow the game down, Arsenal went full steam ahead.
      Ben White grabbed the equaliser in the 70th minute and just under a half an hour later, super sub Reiss Nelson netted a dramatic injury time winner to win the game 3-2.

      Man City star Bernardo Silva wanted by Barcelona in summer transfer ‘as Pep Guardiola demands £57.5m for midfielder’

      by

      BERNARDO SILVA remains a transfer target for Barcelona, reports claim.The Spanish giants have been linked with the Manchester City star in the last two transfer windows.

      And, finances allowing, they will step up their efforts to sign him at the end of the season, according to Sport.
      A transfer last summer wasn’t possible as Frenkie de Jong ended up staying at Barcelona amid strong interest from Manchester United.
      City then reportedly rejected a £62million bid in January as they did not want to lose Silva, 28, mid-season.
      But Sport say a £57.5m offer at the end of the campaign would be enough to secure his signature.

      City are reported to have told Silva’s agent Jorge Mendes that a £57.5m offer would be accepted.
      Silva, who came off the bench to score in City’s 2-0 win over Newcastle on Saturday, is claimed to be open to a move.
      He will have two years left on his Etihad deal at the end of the season.
      And the Portuguese playmaker is eyeing a new challenge after six years in Manchester.

      He told Record earlier this year: “I’m very focused on this season and it doesn’t make sense to talk about leaving because we’re in the middle of the season.”
      He added: “I won’t hide that my goal in the coming years, if something good happens elsewhere, will probably be to move to a new project.”
      However, funding a move for Silva could be difficult.
      Barcelona have effectively been hit with a transfer ban this summer because of their financial woes.
      Speaking at the FT Business of Football summit in London, LaLiga chief executive Javier Tebas confirmed: “As of today, Barcelona doesn’t have any room in its budget to spend in the upcoming transfer window.
      “Barcelona has been involved in questionable behaviour which has had an impact on LaLiga – and we are acting accordingly.” More

      Salisu, 23, fits the age and profile of the type of player Newcastle are keen to recruit and they see the defender as someone they could develop into a top star.
      Salisu, who joined Southampton in the summer of 2020 from Real Valladolid, is set to enter the final year of his contract at St Mary’s this summer and Newcastle feel they could land him for a cut-price fee of £15million or less.
      The powerful defender is expected to leave Southampton in the summer if they suffer relegation from the Premier League.

      Following the dismissal of Nathan Jones, former coaching assistant Ruben Selles took over as manager.
      In his first game, the Saints claimed a 1-0 win over Chelsea at Stamford Bridge and they won by teh same scoreline against Leicester on Saturday night.

      Nelson lashed home an effort in the final minute of the game to seal a 3-2 victory.
      However, he may soon find himself out of the door at the Emirates with his contract expiring in June.
      This being said, Fabrizio Romano has reported the 23-year-old would “love” to stay at Arsenal.
      Nelson has appeared just three times in the league for Mikel Arteta’s side this season, with each of these coming off the bench.

      And he has been very effective across these outings.
      He registered a goal and assist after replacing Emile Smith Rowe against Bournemouth to add to the two goals and assist he got against Nottingham Forest.
      Much of his season has been hampered through thigh issues, limiting him to eight appearances in all competitions.
      But following his winner against Bournemouth, Arteta said: “I always saw the potential, the talent and the desire for him [Nelson] to do it, but he’s at a different level right now.

      “But he was knocking on the door, he’s been training really good and it’s a good lesson for me and for the coaches that we need him and that he can be really important for the team.”
      According to 90min, a host of clubs are interested in the winger’s services come the end of the season.
      These include Brentford, West Ham and Crystal Palace in the capital, while Everton, Southampton and Championship leaders Burnley are also eyeing a move. More

      Van Dijk record
      Liverpool star Virgil van Dijk has gained global recognition for his defensive prowess.
      But Van Dijk has also proven to be dangerous in attack ever since his Premier League arrival in 2015.
      The Netherlands international has scored 20 goals in the Prem, which is the most of any centre-back since he joined Southampton eight years ago.
      The 31-year-old has amassed three goals in 20 league matches this season

      Salah targets milestone
      Liverpool superstar Mohamed Salah is on fire this season with nine goals and five assists in 24 Premier League matches.
      But Salah is targeting something major this season as he is just one goal away from equalling Robbie Fowler’s Prem club record of 128.
      The winger has scored at least 20 goals across all competitions in all six of his seasons with the Reds.
      And the Egypt international has netted eight Premier League goals against Manchester United – only Alan Shearer, with 10, has more

      Man Utd formation
      Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag appears to have chosen a 4-2-3-1 formation with six changes to the team that beat West Ham in the FA Cup on Wednesday.
      David de Gea starts in goal with Diogo Dalot at right-back and Luke Shaw, on for Tyrell Malacia, on the other side, while Lisandro Martinez and Raphael Varane replace Harry Maguire and Victor Lindelof at centre-back.
      Fred and Casemiro come on for Marcel Sabitzer and Scott McTominay in midfield, while captain Bruno Fernandes plays at No10.
      Antony covers the right flank with Marcus Rashford taking the place of Alejandro Garnacho on the other side, while Wout Weghorst spearheads the attack

      Liverpool formation
      Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp appears to have opted for his usual 4-3-3 formation with three changes to the team that beat Wolves in the Premier League on Wednesday.
      Alisson starts in goal with Trent Alexander-Arnold at right-back and Andy Robertson replacing Kostas Tsimikas on the other side, while Ibrahima Konate and Virgil van Dijk team up at centre-back.
      Harvey Elliott, Fabinho and captain Jordan Henderson, who replaces Stefan Bajcetic, link up in midfield.
      Mohamed Salah, Darwin Nunez and Cody Gakpo, on for Diogo Jota, lead the attack

      Man Utd stats
      Manchester United are third in the Premier League table with two games in hand as well as nine points away from second-placed Manchester City and 14 away from leaders Arsenal.
      United have won 15 out of 24 Prem matches so far and lost five along the way.
      In fact, the Red Devils have earned 23 points since the 2022 World Cup break – no team in the English top flight has won more during this period.
      Erik ten Hag’s side could reach 50 points after 25 Premier League matches for only the second time since Sir Alex Ferguson’s retirement.
      Last time took place in the 2017-2018 season under Jose Mourinho when they recorded 53 points in that period and finished second.
      Finally, United have scored in each of their last 15 league games, which is the longest run in the competition

      Liverpool stats
      Liverpool are sixth in the Premier League table with six points separating them from fourth placed Tottenham – but Jurgen Klopp’s men have two games in hand.
      The Reds have won 11 out of all their 24 Prem matches and lost seven times along the way.
      The Merseysiders have won three of their last four Premier League games after failing to win any of the first four matches of 2023, this means the hosts can remain unbeaten in five consecutive league fixtures for the first time this season.
      The signs are promising as Liverpool have kept a clean sheet in four consecutive Prem games for the first time since April.
      But Klopp’s side has won 27 points at home and 12 away this season, which is the biggest differential of any team

      Detailed head-to-head record
      Liverpool and Manchester United’s historic rivalry kicked off way back in 1949 during a First Division match that ended 1-1 at Anfield.
      Since then, United have won a majority of 62 out of 151 matches across all competitions, with the Reds counting 46 victories along the way
      But the Red Devils haven’t won at Anfield since 2016 and got thrashed in their last visit last season when the Merseysiders won 4-0.
      In fact, Liverpool have won four of their subsequent seven matches against the Manchester giants at the Kop

      Liverpoll vs Man Utd team news
      Hello everybody – Kostas here – and I will be bringing you all the action from Anfield as rivals Liverpool and Manchester United lock horns in a crucial Premier League derby.
      The two foes have everything to fight for as third-placed United are still on an unexpected quadruple run while the Reds need a win to push for a top-four finish amid a turbulent season.
      As mentioned earlier, though, the Merseysiders’ manager Jurgen Klopp will be without Thiago Alcantara (hip), Luiz Diaz (knee), Arthur (quad) and Calvin Ramsay (knee).
      Joe Gomez and Naby Keita are a doubt after missing Wednesday’s Prem victory over Wolves with respective knocks.
      But Klopp has had important players, like Diogo Jota, Roberto Firmino and Virgil van Dijk, back at his disposal for the derby.
      United manager Erik ten Hag, on the other hand, will be without Christian Eriksen and Donny van de Beek, who are out with an ankle and knee injury respectively.
      Anthony Martial is unlikely to be fit in time as he is still dealing with a hip injury.
      Ten Hag also has minor doubts over Luke Shaw and in-form Jadon Sancho, who missed Wednesday’s FA Cup victory over West Ham with a knock and illness respectively

      Last season’s antics
      Last season, Liverpool were in imperious form, winning the Carabao Cup and FA Cup, while reaching the Champions League final and missing out on the Premier League after one of the most-outrageous final-day comebacks ever from Manchester City.
      The Reds also spanked United 9-0 across their two Premier League fixtures – with Jurgen Klopp grinning as his side made the Red Devils look like total amateurs.
      This season, the German’s iconic grin has been replaced by a grimace as his Reds fall apart in front of his very eyes.
      Make no mistake, this Liverpool squad needs a huge shake-up this summer with an aging midfield, error-prone defence and injury hit front-line wreaking havoc.
      But will they be able to attract the likes of Jude Bellingham when they’re increasingly unlikely to grab a Champions League place?
      SunSport’s prediction
      Liverpool 2-2 Man Utd
      It’s hard to see Man Utd losing but this match won’t be easy in front of a fired-up Anfield and against a Liverpool team desperately fighting for points.
      It should be entertaining – expect goals.

      United’s star man
      Marcus Rashford is the most in-form forward in the world at the moment.
      Rashford has contributed to 16 goals since the World Cup and defences across Europe have struggled to slow him down.
      Undoubtedly United’s biggest threat and any success they have will stem from the Three Lions star.

      Liverpool’s star man?
      Going forward Trent Alexander-Arnold has the ability to affect any game.
      Much-maligned defensively, if Liverpool are to get anything out of the game, they’ll need to find a way to stop Rashford.
      Alexander-Arnold will need to be switched on for the full 90 minutes.
      And if he gets a chance to bomb forward or get a set-piece within 30 yards, the England ace could be the most important player on the pitch for Klopp.

      Ten Hag’s record vs Liverpool
      Today is not the first time Erik ten Hag has faced the Reds at Anfield.
      He was manager of Ajax when the then champions of the Eredivisie took on the Premier League winners in the 2020-21 Champions League group stages.
      Liverpool won at the Johann Cruyff Arena 1-0.
      And then Jurgen Klopp’s side repeated the result at Anfield as they qualified top of their group, while Ajax finished third and were dumped into the Europa League.

      There is bound to be some fireworks in the pundit studio today.
      Roy Keane, pictured, is alongside Gary Neville, Jamie Carragher and Graeme Souness for Sky Sports.
      The Irishman, 51, has arrived early at Anfield and will not hold back with his forthright views.

      United last time out
      Eric ten Hag gave some key players a much-needed rest in midweek after a hectic couple of weeks.
      The likes of Marcus Rashford, Lisandro Martinez, Casemiro and Raphael Varane all started on the bench.
      So they will be raring to go from the off at Anfield today.
      Christian Eriksen and Donny van de Beek will both miss the clash at Anfield.
      Anthony Martial is unlikely to be fit, with Wout Weghorst set to continue leading the line.
      Ten Hag also has minor doubts over Luke Shaw and Jadon Sancho who missed the FA Cup win over West Ham with an injury and illness respectively.

      The Reds’ last time out
      Jurgen Klopp will be hoping to have no fresh injury concerns following Liverpool’s 2-0 win against Wolves in midweek.
      Thiago is still out, as are Luiz Diaz and Calvin Ramsay.
      Arthur is still likely to miss the match, despite returning to training.
      Joe Gomez and Naby Keita are questionable after missing the win over Wolves with knocks.
      Andy Robertson could come back into the fold in place of Kostas Tsimikas after being rested in midweek.
      Red’s boss could call upon skipper Jordan Henderson for such a big occasion.
      January signing Cody Gakpo will be pushing for a start after being dropped for the Wolves game.

      Trent stats
      Trent Alexander-Arnold has had a quiet campaign so far with one goal and two assists.
      By Trent’s standards, the assists numbers are very low as the 24-year-old ended last season with a huge 12 assists from right-back.
      That’s just one behind teammate Mohammed Salah who finished top of the assists chart last season.

      Managers’ plea to fans
      Both Jurgen Klopp and Erik ten Hag have called for an end to ‘tragedy chanting’ in football, in anticipation of today’s Premier League fixture.
      Jurgen Klopp said: “One of the main reasons why the rivalry between Liverpool and Manchester United is so special is that it is so intense and no-one should ever want to change this. But at the same time, when the rivalry becomes too intense it can go to places that are not good for anyone and we do not need this.
      “We do want the noise; we do want the occasion to be partisan and we do want the atmosphere to be electric. What we do not want is anything that goes beyond this and this applies especially to the kind of chants that have no place in football. If we can keep the passion and lose the poison, it will be so much better for everyone.”
      Erik Ten Hag said: “The rivalry between Manchester United and Liverpool is one of the greatest in world football. We all love the passion of the fans when our teams meet, but there are lines that should not be crossed.
      “It is unacceptable to use the loss of life — in relation to any tragedy — to score points, and it is time for it to stop. Those responsible tarnish not only the reputation of our clubs but also, importantly, the reputation of themselves, the fans, and our great cities.
      Head-to-head
      Last season Ralf Rangnick’s dismantled Manchester United side were picked apart by a title-chasing Liverpool, as the Reds walked out 4-0 winners on the day.
      The goals that day came from Luis Diaz, Sadio Mané and a brace from Mo Salah.

      Good afternoon all welcome to Anfield
      Welcome to SunSports’s live blog as Liverpool host Manchester United in a massive Premier League derby clash.
      The Red Devils are still on for the quadruple this season, with the Carabao Cup already secured.
      The Merseyside club are currently 6 points off a Champions League spot but do have two games in hand on Spurs in fourth. 
      The Reds go into the game with three wins in four, with Mohammed Salah getting back on the score sheet in their most recent win against Wolves.
      United haven’t tasted defeat since their 3-2 loss at the Emirates back in January.
      Since then, they have been in unbelievable form in the league and in cup competitions, with some fans hopeful of a quadruple this season.
      In the return fixture, Man United beat Jurgen Klopp’s side 2-1 with goals from Jadon Sancho and Marcus Rashford.
      Mohammed Salah pulled one back late on, but Eric Ten Hag’s side held on to a precious three points against their bitter rivals.
      Thiago, Luiz Diaz and Calvin Ramsey will all miss the all-important game at Anfield, but Klopp will be happy to have Diogo Jota, Roberto Firmino and Virgil van Dijk back fit in recent weeks.
