Liverpool midfielder James Milner will be hoping his surname can do him a favour once again at the Cheltenham Festival on Tuesday. The versatile 36-year-old revealed that he had backed 12/1 shot Mrs Milner in the Pertemps Network Final Handicap last year, who cruised to victory with Bryan Cooper onboard to land a great prize pot for connections.Although Milner has no true association with the mare, despite some thinking he may be an owner, one would assume that the former England international will be having a few quid on her in hope that she is just as successful in the Close Brothers Mares’ Hurdle.Tweeting after Mrs Milner’s victory last year, the former Leeds star wrote: “To save me replying to everyone who’s WhatsApp’d me… Yes – I backed it.

Gary Neville has admitted that Liverpool have the "luxury" of forward options that Manchester City don't have as the pair battle for the Premier League title.City slipped up against Crystal Palace on Monday evening, allowing Liverpool the chance to cut the gap to one on Wednesday.And Neville admitted after the game that Liverpool's attack could make the difference in the title race.He said: "Liverpool are really dangerous. They look really dangerous."I just look at those five strikers that they’ve got and going into the last part of the season knowing that you can win an awful lot of football matches with those five upfront."Whereas City don’t have that same luxury in attacking areas."Liverpool's front four of Diogo Jota, Roberto Firmino, Mohamed Salah, and Sadio Mane was boosted in January with the arrival of Luis Diaz.And after impressing since his arrival Diaz was on the scoresheet for the Reds over the weekend.Salah added to Liverpool's early strike with a second to claim the three points for Jurgen Klopp's side.Liverpool have now won their last six games, while City have only lost one of their last 19.

Liverpool have revealed the severity of Mohamed Salah’s injury is still unknown after the Egyptian was forced off against Brighton. Salah scored a penalty in the 2-0 win that took Liverpool to within three points of Manchester City at the top of the table, but shortly after scoring he went down and was replaced by Diogo Jota. With the Reds still fighting in three competitions, any injury to their star man would be a huge concern and the club will be hoping that the news proves to be positive.

Liverpool continued to pile the pressure on Premier League leaders Manchester City with a comfortable 2-0 win over Brighton on Saturday.The Reds maintained their relentless run in the league, claiming an eighth successive win to cut City's lead down to a mere three points.Luiz Diaz opened the scoring at the AMEX less than 20 minutes into the contest, heading home after the Premier League's Player of the Month for February, Joel Matip, floated one in behind Brighton's backline.The Colombian courageously nodded past onrushing Seagulls stopper Robert Sanchez, who was lucky to escape punishment after clattering the Liverpool forward.Mohamed Salah then converted a second-half penalty to clinch a comfortable victory after Brighton's Yves Bissouma blocked Naby Keita's goal-bound effort with his hand.Here, Daily Star Sport takes a closer look at what Jurgen Klopp got right against Brighton on a beautiful day on the south coast.Diaz's has made a seamless transition to Premier League football since his £50million arrival from Porto, even if he claims otherwise.The Colombian told BT Sport prior to Saturday's match that his start has been far from "easy" but it's fair to say he's made quite the impact.Klopp opted to drop him to the bench for Liverpool's 1-0 midweek Champions League defeat to Inter Milan and his absence was glaring.At the AMEX, however, Diaz was in from the off and the German's decision to recall his new recruit was justified.It took the 25-year-old less than 20 minutes to make his mark, racing in behind Brighton's backline before bravely glancing a header past the onrushing Sanchez.The goal was Diaz's second in Liverpool colours and you get the impression there's plenty more to come.Will Liverpool be crowned Premier

Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp was caught screaming in anger at Mohamed Salah after he had missed a chance against Brighton.Salah was bearing down on goal in the first-half after racing into the box but had his effort saved by goalkeeper Robert Sanchez.Klopp went mad on the sidelines as he thought his star man should have squared the ball across the box for team-mate Luis Diaz, who had already given the Reds a 1-0 lead in the Premier League clash.The German manager appeared to be shouting "pass the ball" at Salah as he wildly swung his arms about in frustration.Liverpool fans weren't happy with Klopp's actions as they sided with their Egyptian King."Salah had every right to shoot from where he did btw, there was no pass on at any stage. Klopp shouldn’t have had a go at him there," one argued.Another commented: "Klopp lashing out on Salah for not passing when he had a clear sight of goal and two defenders obstructing a passing option is embarrassing."Would you say Salah is selfish? Let us know in the comments section.Other supporters suggested the drama surrounding Salah's contract renewal was the reason behind it.One wrote: "Exactly who was he supposed to pass to?? If Klopp is annoyed at this situation, he should've benched him.

Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp agrees "100 per cent" with the UK Government's sanctions on Roman Abramovich.The Russian oligarch had his assets frozen on Thursday (March 10) which sent Chelsea, who he has owned since 2003, into a state of crisis.The Blues were able to proceed with their Premier League fixture against Norwich but there are serious concerns about matters off the pitch.Klopp has spoken out in support of the decision while also expressing his sympathy for those involved with the club, including his fellow German manager Thomas Tuchel."Thomas and I, we know each other, but we are not that close that we chat," he said."I feel for him and the players and all the employees at Chelsea because it's nothing they are responsible for but what happens around."One man is responsible for that and it's Vladimir Putin in the first place. "I don't know about Roman Abramovich's role in all these kind of things but over the years you could guess that maybe he's pretty close."And I then I think what the British government did is right to be 100 per cent honest but it is still not cool for all the people at Chelsea and all the supporters.What do you make of Klopp's comments?

Manchester City are expecting a tense battle to the wire against Liverpool for the Premier League trophy.

Liverpool have been overlooked as favourites for the Champions League and 'does not know' how the snub has happened.The Reds are England's most successful European club with six Champions League honours - the most recent of which came in 2019 against Tottenham.But according to the bookmakers, Manchester City are this season's favourites to claim continental glory, despite falling at the final hurdle last season.And though Owen agrees that one of Liverpool or Man City will win the Old Big Ears trophy, the BT Sport pundit cannot believe his former side have been snubbed as top choice for the crown."I see the Champions League as Liverpool's or Manchester City's," Owen told the Liverpool Echo.

Liverpool are into the next round of the Champions League despite losing 1-0 at home to Inter Milan, as goals from Mohamed Salah and Roberto Firmino in the first leg were enough to get the job done.It was the first time that Liverpool have lost at home this season as Lautaro Martinez' wondergoal separated the two sides, but a red card to Alexis Sanchez blunted Inter's search for a second.It was also the first time that Liverpool have lost in 2022, but although recent results have gone their way, they have taken their foot off the gas slightly ever since they thumped Leeds 6-0.After winning the Carabao Cup against Chelsea, Liverpool are very much on for an unlikely quadruple, but Salah has issued a wake-up call as he labelled his side as "overconfident".On a different day, Liverpool would have won the game 2-1 and Salah would be the man of the moment yet again, but it wasn't the Egyptian's day as he struck both posts in the second half.Liverpool also hit the bar via a Joel Matip header, but Salah has said that Liverpool need to do more if they are going to add to their success this season.Salah told BT Sport: "We need to start better from the beginning, we need to push a little bit more, maybe in the back of our mind we felt we were a little bit overconfident, but it’s a good game for us to take and learn from.

Inter Milan striker Alexis Sanchez has been bombarded with criticism from all angles after being sent off against Liverpool in the Champions League on Tuesday night.Just seconds after his teammate Lautaro Martinez had put Inter 1-0 up against Liverpool and halved their aggregate deficit, the former Arsenal star was dismissed for a second yellow card.After being booked in the first half, Sanchez reached for a 50/50 with Fabinho and, after reaching the ball first, caught the Brazilian midfielder with his follow-through. Speaking to BT Sport about Sanchez’s dismissal, former Manchester United defender Rio Ferdinand said: “He’s won the ball, you can’t tell me he shouldn’t try and win that ball, look how low his leg is.

Manchester City fans have been reacting after Liverpool narrowly progressed through to the Champions League quarter-finals with a 2-1 aggregate win over Inter Milan.

Kevin De Bruyne is expecting a re-run of the breathless 2019 title race that went right down to the final day of the season. The Manchester City ace scored twice as the Blues blew away Manchester United 4-1 to restore the six-point lead at the top - a lead that will be trimmed to just three, if Liverpool win their game in hand, away at Arsenal, next week.

Manchester City in the Premier League title race by claiming a narrow 1-0 win over West Ham.In their first league game since lifting the Carabao Cup, the Reds edged out the Hammers despite a lacklustre second-half performance in what was a tight game.Ultimately, Sadio Mane’s first-half tap-in was the difference, but both sides also had efforts cleared off the line, with Aaron Cresswell and Trent Alexander-Arnold coming to the rescue of their teams in quick succession.Andy Robertson and Naby Keita were both forced to make last-ditch challenges to protect Liverpool's lead after the break as the hosts struggled to put the game to bed.Here, Daily Star Sport looks at four things Jurgen Klopp got right to ensure his side closed the gap on City to three points…Klopp opted to hand Luis Diaz his third successive Premier League start for the visit of the Hammers, with the Colombian playing down the left wing.His trust in the new signing from Porto was repaid in bucket loads, with Diaz looking lively throughout the clash.It was a performance that deserved a goal, with one run just after the half-hour mark dragging his side from their own half to winning a free-kick right on the edge of West Ham’s box.Who was your man of the match as Liverpool defeated West Ham? Let us know in the comments section...Diaz’s place on the left meant that Sadio Mane was once again selected in the central role in Liverpool’s front three.It is a position that Diogo Jota has made his own for much of the season, but Mane impressed in the Portuguese’s place at Anfield.He scored the crucial goal to set the Reds on their way to the win when his clever run was picked out by Mohamed Salah and he turned the ball home.Mane ensured that he kept involved with play

Manchester United are behind with £323, seeing a major jump after signing Cristiano Ronaldo, Jadon Sancho and Raphael Varane in the summer.Liverpool's wage bill sits at £314m, but that's £11m less than the previous year despite handing new long-term contracts to the likes of Virgil van Dijk, Trent Alexander-Arnold, Fabinho, Jordan Henderson, Alisson and Andy Robertson.However, that's probably due to the fact that there were some hefty bonuses included after Jurgen Klopp's side secured the Premier League title for the first time ever in the clubs history.North London rivals Arsenal and Tottenham pay the least out of the 'big six', with the Gunners slightly ahead of Tottenham as they pay £244m as opposed to the £205m that Spurs splash out.With the amount of money in football constantly rising, you can expect these figures to increase, especially with many high-profile stars likely to be on the move in the near future.
