English Premier League 2025-26: Liverpool preview

He was noisy and shocking in a non -season of Liverpool, as the defenders’ heroes must reconcile with them The death of Dugo Jota.

You will feel the loss of the Portuguese striker for some time and will cast a shadow over the defense of the club from the Premier League crown, which he won in an impressive way last season.

He asks a group of players who are still saddened by the loss of their friend to find the motivation to repeat the successes of last year when the game appears trivial.

The pre -season offers were mixed, perhaps because of the disorganized minds and perhaps because of the number of new faces brought by Boss Arne Slot.

The Dutchman was merciless in reshaping his team, as he showed few feelings of Louis Diaz, Darwin Nunez and Garrell Qanana, who all played a role last season.

The departure of Trent Alexander-Arnold for Real Madrid He could not be avoided given the player’s desire to challenge himself in Spain.

So, what about the new Liverpool signatures?

While Jimmy Carager faded last weekThe Reds approach to the market looks a bit disorganized.

It is clear that Alexander Isac of Newcastle is still a goal and with the player desperately for this step, it appears that it is imperative that the Swedish will end the transfer window as a Liverpool player.

If this is the case, the Hugo Ekitike signing for 69 million pounds will be a waste of money that is better spent on establishing a defense that seemed urgent in the pre -season season. Jeremy Fribong and Milos Circle focuses great players and will settle in time, but the question marks continue to spin around Virgil van Dick.

If Izak moves to Mersiside, this may mean that Liverpool breaks the British transportation record twice in one window after the seizure of Florian Witroz for a fee that may rise to 116 million pounds.

International Germany will flourish in the heavy team of Liverpool, and will provide a creative spark that can only bring the usual return from Mohamed Salah heavy production.

What may change this season?

A good player like Wirtz, his arrival may lead to a slight tactical adjustment.

In the formation of the opening 4-2-3-1 last season, Dominic Suzobozlay often was the highest attacked player, exceeding the opposition’s defense, partly to create an area behind him for the likes of Salah.

Wirtz is unlikely that, and may focus more on Ekitike, assuming that it begins the season in the ninth issue, to play in the face of the goal and refrain from depth.

The presence of two new back is another interesting dynamic. While Kerkez was almost cloning to Andy Robertson with its bombing extending to the bottom of the left, the Frimpong is not like Alexander Arnold.

The England man used to drift into the midfield, which enabled him to showcase the variety of the corridor, and sometimes interfere with Salah. Fribong will not do that. In Bayer Leverkusen, he used to reach the secondary line and withdraw the crosses, unlike Alexander Arnold, whose connections were regularly from behind.

Their attacking statistics may be the end of the season that look similar but will be achieved in different ways.

Where is Centon?

Liverpool is the overwhelming favorite to go back and not difficult to understand the reason. They brought good players and Slot’s appetite will not be affected for success by last season.

But the competition will be stronger this year. Arsenal has finally signed nine, and the World Cup victory at Chelsea shows that it will be a threat while it is difficult to imagine that Manchester City will be medium as it was in 2024-25.

We believe that mental toil in the past few months, in addition to the small tactical adjustments that may take some time to implement, may mean that Liverpool is not as dominant as many expect.

The great title race is scheduled this year and not surprised if Liverpool is short.
