PREMIER LEAGUE CLUB GUIDE
Liverpool FC
Club History
Liverpool are England’s most successful club historically, having won 20 top-flight titles (the joint most with Manchester United), seven FA Cups and six European Cups/Champions Leagues. The Shankly, Paisley and Dalglish eras of the 1960s-80s established them as one of world football’s great clubs. The Hillsborough disaster of 1989, in which 97 Liverpool supporters died, remains the defining tragedy of English football. Jürgen Klopp’s appointment in 2015 reignited the club — he won The Champions League (2019), the Premier League (2020) and multiple other trophies before leaving in 2024. Arne Slot has taken over.

Key Players to Watch
Mohamed Salah — Forward

Virgil van Dijk — Centre back / Captain
The captain. One of the best defenders in world football since joining Liverpool in 2018. Dominant in the air, composed with the ball and a leader by example.
Trent Alexander-Arnold — Right back / Midfielder
Despite leaving for Real Madrid in 2025, Trent is still associated with Liverpool. His replacement and the gap he has left is a key storyline of this season.
Stadium Guide
Anfield has been Liverpool‘s home since 1892. Capacity 61,276 after the expansion of the Anfield Road Stand. The atmosphere — particularly for European nights — is unique in English football. The Kop, the famous terrace-turned-stand behind the goal, creates a wall of sound that intimidates visiting teams.
