Manager
Andoni Iraola
In charge since June 2026
Relentless high pressing and aggressive man-marking all over the pitch. Iraola's football is vertical and high-octane, aiming to win the ball back as near the opposition goal as possible.
Liverpool sacked Arne Slot and appointed Iraola this summer after his sixth-place season with Bournemouth.

Are Liverpool FC a safe survivor pick?
Across the last 3 Premier League seasons — 2025/26 (5th), 2024/25 (1st), 2023/24 (3rd) — Liverpool FC avoided defeat in 82% of their league games. That is the baseline a survivor player should start from before looking at this week's fixture.
This season they have played 6, winning 2, drawing 3 and losing 1, with 7 scored and 7 conceded. At home they are 0-2-1; away from home 2-1-0.
Unusually, they have travelled better — unbeaten in 100% away versus 67% at home — so don't discount them on the road.
Recent form reads D-W-D-W-L (oldest first), meaning they have come through 80% of their last 5 matches without losing.
