Liverpool frustrate Man City title charge as new goalkeeper emerges (unknown)

Teenage goalkeeper Oscar Kelly enjoyed a memorable under-23s debut as Liverpool stalled Manchester City's march to the Premier League 2 title.

In the second half we had to weather some good play from them but I thought we did it really well. I can’t fault any of the lads, there was a real contribution in what was a really good game of football.” He did unbelievably well, his distribution was excellent and he made good decisions.

Player ratings as Diogo Jota sends Liverpool through in FA Cup with quadruple still on (unknown)

Nottingham Forest went toe-to-toe with Liverpool in an end-to-end game, but it was Jurgen Klopp's side who went through thanks to Diogo Jota's late goal.

Liverpool signed most expensive teen in history before 'mystery' unfolded (unknown)

It was hoped that Mark Kennedy could provide the missing balance from Roy Evans' Liverpool team when he signed 27 years ago today.

To many it was a mystery as to why Roy Evans had spent - for the time - so much on a player and used him so little. He would play from the start at left-back against Blackpool in the final, but despite Cardiff leading twice, it was the Seasiders who prevailed, winning 3-2 on the day with one of their goals coming courtesy of Charlie Adam - a future Liverpool player. In the final switch of his playing career, Kennedy moved to East Anglia with Roy Keane's Ipswich Town in a deal worth £75,000. I think I have matured a lot, mentally as well as physically since coming to London but it was still a dream come through when Liverpool came in with their offer." But if that was interpreted as a sign of things to come by Liverpool supporters then in reality the opposite was true. At Molineux, he made 167 league appearances over four fruitful seasons before moving to Crystal Palace on a free transfer - his fourth London club.

Arsenal and Liverpool are both accelerating moves for PSV's Cody Gakpo (unknown)

Arsenal and Liverpool could now be in a fight for PSV Eindhoven winger Cody Gakpo with both clubs accelerating their pursuit of the wide man.

Gakpo was attracting interest in January but instead signed a new deal until 2026. It’s thought that any deal for Gakpo would cost around £35million, which would be a considerable outlay for Arsenal and Liverpool. That’s according to The Athletic, who claim that Gakpo is attracting major interest from a number of clubs around Europe.

6/10 Jota sends Liverpool to FA Cup semis (unknown)

Diogo Jota should've decided this tie far earlier, but his 78th-minute goal proved the winner as Liverpool eked out a 1-0 FA Cup win at Forest.

DF Virgil van Dijk, 7 -- Dealt well with Forest attacks that looked dangerous as the Championship side looked to find a way past Klopp's high line. MF Naby Keita, 8 -- Keita linked the play well in midfield and often looked like the Liverpool star most likely to make something happen. A perfect ball set up Jota for the opener. That was needed with the hosts making enough opportunities that could have resulted in a different story on another day. Close to giving away a penalty late on. Almost conceded through a mix-up in the second half but recovered well.

Nottingham Forest 0 Liverpool 1 (unknown)

Josh Sexton's player ratings for The Anfield Wrap after Nottingham Forest 0 Liverpool 1 in the FA Cup quarter final at the City Ground…

Was a five or lower before he sets up the goal. Thought that he looked mostly great though, and was effective in his attacking involvements. Mostly just deals with the stuff you’d expect him to and looks absolutely fantastic while doing so.

Liverpool fans union 'appalled' by FA Cup travel plans as FA release statement (unknown)

The Football Association have confirmed they are in contact with Liverpool and Manchester City.

However, the governing body later released a statement saying: “The FA will be liaising closely with both Liverpool FC and Manchester City FC on all match arrangements, including supporters travel for the upcoming Emirates FA Cup Semi Final fixture at Wembley Stadium, with further details to be announced in due course. “We are also continuing to work with both Network Rail and National Express to find a solution so that supporters of both teams are able to travel to and from the fixture with as minimal disruption as possible.” Stephen Evans, the son of former Liverpool manager Roy, tweeted: "No trains running from Liverpool or Manchester to London for the whole of the weekend when the semi final is on is a joke. SOS tweeted: "Fan reps of both @LFC & @ManCity are appalled at the shambolic travel arrangements #notrains for the prestigious @EmiratesFACup semi-final at @wembleystadium and are in contact with each other, full joint statement to follow later from ourselves & @WeAre1894". Jurgen Klopp was asked about the situation when speaking pitch-side at the City Ground after the game on Sunday and while the Liverpool manager was unaware of the transport issues, he hoped there could be some intervention to ease supporters' travel fears. If we could play with supporters that would be really good for both teams.” The Football Association were unable to provide details of any plans that were in place that would help fans travelling from the North West that weekend when contacted by ECHO on Monday morning, while Liverpool said they were looking into the matter. However, both sets of supporters face a logistical nightmare to get to the national stadium due to no running trains from the North West to the capital over the Easter weekend. Avanti West Coast confirmed that it will not be running any trains into London Euston from April 15 to 18 because of engineering work that is scheduled to take place across a number of locations.

Liverpool earn Manchester City FA Cup semi after Jota edges out Forest (unknown)

Liverpool will face Manchester City in the last four of the FA Cup after a hard-fought 1-0 win at Nottingham Forest in the quarter-final.

Yates had a penalty shout when he skipped past Alisson and his leg caught the goalkeeper’s outstretched arm. “The game was defined in two minutes, where we had a really good chance and didn’t take it, and they created one, and did,” Cooper said. There is only one reason to be a part of it: to go to the next round and we did that, in an atmosphere where everything was prepared to give us a knock but because we were prepared for a fight, we came through and I’m really happy.” That day Pierre van Hooijdonk scored a last-minute equaliser and Steven Gerrard, in his debut season, stepped off the bench. Forest proved courageous and stubborn, leading Klopp to make a quadruple substitution midway through a stale second half, replenishing his entire midfield, and the hosts should have taken the lead, Philip Zinckernagel wasting a golden opportunity. Cooper, who spent five years coaching Liverpool’s academy, has revitalised Forest since inheriting a team that were bottom of the Championship.

Liverpool and City will define each other’s seasons in league and cup double-header (unknown)

Liverpool and Manchester City will play twice in April, once in a potentially decisive Premier League showdown at the Etihad Stadium and again in an FA Cup ...

As with Forest and Liverpool in the late 1970s, so with City and Liverpool today. “The further you go in whichever competition, the more likely you are you will face City at one point.” That tends to be the way when you are one of the two leading teams of a particular era. Whether Simeone’s idiosyncratic style of play will exploit what few weaknesses City have is a fair and open question, particularly as Guardiola will have the Liverpool fixtures to consider of either side. “We have Watford, Benfica, City, Benfica, City, United, Everton [after the international break],” Klopp helpfully pointed out at the City Ground. “From a Liverpool perspective, these are all massive games. Plenty has changed in that time, for one club more than the other, but none of the old intensity was lost at the City Ground. If the last four or five years have taught us anything though, it is that quality usually shines through, and that these two have quality in abundance.

Diogo Jota strikes late as Reds set up Man City FA Cup semi-final (unknown)

Diogo Jota scores 19th goal of season to send Liverpool into FA Cup semi-finals with 1-0 win over Nottingham Forest at City Ground; Reds will face ...

We should have scored the sitter, it's unlikely Bobby [Firmino] doesn't square for Diogo [Jota], but the game stayed open. At the same time, Liverpool will look to leapfrog Man City in the Premier League table when they take on Watford at Anfield in the first of their seven games in 22 days, before they travel to Benfica in the first leg of the Champions League quarter-finals on April 5; kick-off at 8pm. He told ITV Sport: "It was a proper cup match. It was a bit like a European night at Nottingham Forest - I know they don't get anything for it, but massive compliments to them. Victory in Nottingham added a seventh game in 22 days for Liverpool, who now face Manchester City twice, both legs of their Champions League quarter-final with Benfica and old rivals Manchester City and Everton between April 2 and April 24, as their continued progression in all competitions inevitably begins to bite. Liverpool were again given no quarter by Forest after the break, and had to rely on long-range efforts and half chances as they looked to avoid an extra-time period they could ill afford with a packed April on the horizon.

LFC fan to get robotic arm to 'enjoy every second' he has left (unknown)

Adam was diagnosed with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy when he was five.

Hannah, Adam's twin sister and Alix's younger sister, revealed that the family even began to run out of ideas to raise funds for Adam. She continued: "We have come so far with the fundraising and felt we had started running out of ideas to be able to get the funding so Adam could have time to pursue and enjoy his dreams, therefore with this in mind the funding we have raised so far will help towards the ongoing rental and upkeep costs of the Jaco. We will also need to continue to fundraise to support the future costs of this life-changing equipment so Adam can just enjoy his dreams instead of wasting his precious time with raising the full cost to purchase as well as worrying about the financial costs of this option too. "Lately, we have been faced with a reality check of how Duchenne muscular dystrophy can cause things to change very quickly and a reality check that we are in a race against time, a race that we are heartbreakingly losing. The 26-year-old has spent 12 months raising money to be able to afford his own robotic arm and with the help of disability equipment provider, Rahana Life, Adam is now in a position where he can rent the arm.

Naby Keita suffers injury concern as Liverpool wait on fitness update (unknown)

Naby Keita has been forced to withdraw from international duty with Guinea after suffering a knee problem.

Nottingham Forest 0 Liverpool 1 (unknown)

IT could have been something close to a procession had Roberto Firmino opened the scoring. But it becomes a serious contest. As ever, there is this thing within ...

The way Liverpool play isn’t a plug and play move; it is bespoke, built around remarkable qualities. But there is also a thing where Liverpool respond to the key events. For Liverpool, though, it is about setting up a glorious April. Your correspondent has long argued a good season is one which is still alive in April. Well, no season has ever been more alive as the clocks move forward. Then the shape changes to a 442 and there is clarity but not much quality. Ibrahima Konate is excellent under the circumstances and Liverpool are fortunate to have him. But no one has been so much in all the here and now as these lads. The fluidity doesn’t help — there is such a thing as too much flexibility. Europe has been the only target. No season has ever had as much going for it at this stage. For Forest it will feel like a decent audition should they match their ambitions this season. The best chance of the game for Nottingham Forest is followed by a Liverpool goal. As ever, there is this thing within matches around changing the times of the key events.

Liverpool’s Diogo Jota punishes Nottingham Forest to set up Man City semi-final (unknown)

Nottingham Forest 0-1 Liverpool: After the hosts missed a glorious chance at one end, Jota was clinical at the back post to set up another showdown with ...

Alisson had come off his line somewhat late to meet the midfielder, who was slipped through on goal late on. Moments later, Jota showed the instinct that Zinckernagel had lacked when poking Tsimikas’s right-footed cross past Horvath. On first glance, Jota appeared to have strayed marginally offside, just past Tobias Figuereido’s shoulder, but he had in fact timed his dart in at the far post to perfection. Instead, he placed his shot to the goalkeeper’s left and well past the post and his wastefulness would be swiftly punished. Forest were first to their opponents when out of possession – the combative Yates, in particular – and on the front foot once they regained it. Liverpool may be known for the fast, unrelenting tempo to their play but their hosts for the evening were happy to match it. Liverpool were the superior side, as expected, but were made to sweat for their first semi-final showing under Jurgen Klopp.

Joe Gomez sends reminder as Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain frustration speaks volumes (unknown)

Ian Doyle looks at the key talking points after Liverpool's 1-0 victory over Nottingham Forest in the FA Cup quarter-final.

Like his younger team-mate, the midfielder shone only in patches and was increasingly peripheral when replaced. This was more valuable experience under the belt, minutes in the bag. Like Adama Traore and Lautaro Martinez before him, the Forest man was defeated by Van Dijk’s reputation, the Dutchman integral in a ninth clean sheet in 12 games. And even more surprisingly, this latest triumph was their first against Forest at the City Ground since October 1984. Early on in this physical tussle, Harvey Elliott was sent tumbling to the turf by a robust challenge from James Garner that perhaps warranted more than a mere ticking off from referee Craig Pawson. There was relief, then, when the 18-year-old was able to return to his feet and play on unaffected. Having experienced a season of frustration at Liverpool, the defender was given only a seventh start of the season in this FA Cup clash with Nottingham Forest. “A good opportunity,” said Jurgen Klopp before the game.

As an extremely creative force, Szoboszlai could help Liverpool unlock tight and rigid low-block defences as well as adding a new dimension to the club's midfield with his ability to score goals. If he is available at a cheaper rate given his current situation at Leipzig, FSG and Julian Ward should look to pounce and continue the club's proven trend of buying Red Bull players in the transfer market. Liverpool may spend big on a sensational transfer rather than a bumper new contract.Nottingham Forest have just handed Liverpool the perfect solution to fix key Jürgen Klopp issueLiverpool FCNottingham Forest produced a stellar display against Liverpool and one player in particular caught the eye. For me he is the best manager [in the world]," Szoboszlai told the Csisztu Channel. Of course it's not just Szoboszlai's high intensity that Liverpool will like and which makes him suited to the club's style. Since the departure of Georginio Wijnaldum, Liverpool have been a little short of options in midfield, and it could be argued they've lacked a midfielder who can score and assist goals on a regular basis since the departure of Philippe Coutinho — the last Liverpool midfielder who hit double figures in terms of goals in a single season at the club. “I think Szoboszlai is not happy with his current situation as he hasn’t been playing much since Tedesco has been head coach in Leipzig," Rossi told Radio Kiss Kiss Napoli via Spazia Napoli. Rossi went onto claim Szoboszlai could be available cheaper than his true transfer value, which is priced by Transfermarkt at £25m. "Now you could buy him out of his contract even at a lower price, which is not negligible from an economic point of view.” Szoboszlai is a player who is tailor-made for Liverpool's gegenpress system. This has led to speculation that he is unhappy at Leipzig, spurred by his national team manager, Marco Rossi, who suggested earlier this week Szoboszlai could be available for a transfer this summer. He is a voracious presser who averages 21.61 pressures per 90 in the Bundesliga this season as per FBref. His 33.55 per cent pressure success rate also ranks him in the 92nd percentile which is all the more impressive considering his high volume of pressures. It is a void Klopp will want to fill, and he may just have the perfect option.

Jurgen Klopp makes 'exceptional' Diogo Jota claim after 'massive' Liverpool goal (unknown)

Diogo Jota's goal against Nottingham Forest secured Liverpool a place in the semi-finals of the FA Cup.

Klopp added: “I have to give big respect to Steve and Nottingham Forest, it was a top, top performance. “We had some counter-attack situations when we lost the ball and things like this but if we score earlier it is a completely different game. “We could have played better but we should have scored in the first half.

But there are a lot of games to play before that." The further you go in whichever competition the more likely you are you will face City at one point. At the same time, Liverpool will look to leapfrog Man City in the Premier League table when they take on Watford at Anfield in the first of their seven games in 22 days, before they travel to Benfica in the first leg of the Champions League quarter-finals on April 5; kick-off at 8pm. The relief on the Liverpool players' faces come the full-time whistle was a true sign of the test they had been given by their Championship hosts, as they celebrated a job done and moved one step further to turning an unlikely quadruple campaign into a reality. Liverpool were again given no quarter by Forest after the break, and had to rely on long-range efforts and half chances as they looked to avoid an extra-time period they could ill afford with a packed April on the horizon. Jurgen Klopp insisted his side were no-one's "dream draw" as he faced up to the prospect of taking on title rivals Manchester City twice in seven days in a league and FA Cup double.

And in case people aren't getting the message, I believe I am the best partner for Robbie Fowler - over and out!" “Sadly, most of his ideas were usually wrong and even when he was right he didn't realise hardened professionals weren't ready to listen to a kid of his age. In a word, inconsistency," said Evans. Roy Evans left me out three times before, even though I scored in each game prior to being dropped. He was the man we wanted and the market price had to be met. You go there thinking they're going to be centres of excellence and they are far from it. That belief was proved correct and then some. It's always nice to score, whether it's a tap-in or a long-range shot, but it couldn't have gone much better." “That's one of the reasons I came here. An hour into his Liverpool career and Stan Collymore strikes.” “We didn't want the news broadcasting until he had actually put pen to paper.

Liverpool have kept their quadruple hopes alive thanks to a late winner in the quarter-finals of the FA Cup against Nottingham Forest from Diogo Jota.

FOREST WON'T GET A BETTER CHANCE THAN THAT! Johnson digs the ball out of his feet and whips in a beautiful cross for Zinckernagel to hammer past Alisson but he snatches the effort and it goes wide. Forest for the first time had a brief spell of possession and managed to create a dangerous scenario from the right wing through Johnson but his cross fell right into Alisson's arms. A ball is clipped over the Liverpool defence and Cafu finds himself in space but he snatches at the ball and fires high. Tsimikas whips in a ball with his weak foot and Jota pokes home to give Liverpool the lead. We have a goal at the City Ground! And it comes seconds after Forest should have taken the lead.

Man City surge ahead of Liverpool in 'money league' but £487m truth emerges (unknown)
