No room for Liverpool in England's latest 35-man squadpublished at 15:47 GMT 20 March

Thomas Tuchel has named an England squad for the upcoming friendlies without a single Liverpool player involved for a fourth consecutive time.
Liverpool midfielder Curtis Jones, who has six international caps, and defender Joe Gomez, who has 15, have both been omitted from Tuchel's 35-man group.
It means without any sudden change in opinion from the Three Lions boss, it seems increasingly likely that England will not be taking a Liverpool player to the World Cup for the first time in 40 years.
"It's the last opportunity to impress and the last opportunity for players to compete for their ticket," Tuchel told the media.
Sir Bobby Robson's squad for the 1986 tournament in Mexico was the last time Liverpool went without an English representative when competing for football's top prize.
Former Reds Jordan Henderson, Dominic Solanke and Jarell Quansah have all been included in the squad, whilst there is no room for defender Trent Alexander-Arnold.
Meanwhile, Rio Ngumoha and Trey Nyoni have been called up to England's under-19 set-up.
Szoboszlai is the key that unlocks it for Liverpoolpublished at 13:05 GMT 20 March

It's a lovely sunny Thursday morning in Liverpool. In truth, the sun always shines a little brighter after a win.
A cloud has been cast over so much of this season, and one of the biggest frustrations has been that this group of players is too talented to be playing this badly.
It's why, as fans, we tend to seek simple solutions to the problem, because surely we aren't that far away from being a really good football team?
Sack the manager? There is a chance it could help, but it even feels like he's too talented to be coaching this badly, especially based on the evidence of last season. Sign more pace? Almost certainly. Stop playing players out of position? Definitely, but there are some obvious caveats based on form and fitness.
The trouble you have with playing players out of their natural positions is what you lose by them not operating in the areas of the pitch in which they excel.
Dominik Szoboszlai has been chief among them and it feels that surely the time has come to stop playing him as a right-back.
The Hungarian captain is massively talented and a huge part of that is because of the level of versatility he possesses. However, that skillset is needed much more in attack than it could ever be in the full-back area and the Reds' 4-0 win over Galatasaray showed exactly why.
As analysed by Stephen Warnock on Match Of The Day, the combination of Liverpool's flying wing-backs, attacking midfielders and two forwards caused serious problems for their Turkish opponents.
Each component of that had a fantastic night individually, but Szoboszlai is the key that unlocks so much of it and his goal contributions alone dictate that he needs to be closer to the goal and involved in the bulk of the attacking play, rather than existing almost exclusively behind.
The caveats may still be there, but Liverpool must find a solution that isn't so reductive to what they do in an attacking sense.
Slot on Salah's absence, 'fight' until end of season & Brightonpublished at 10:34 GMT 20 March

Liverpool boss Arne Slot has been speaking to the media before Saturday's Premier League game against Brighton at the Amex Stadium (12:30 GMT).
Here are the key lines from his news conference:
Slot confirmed Mohamed Salah will miss the trip to the South Coast with a "muscle issue" and is also ruled out of Egypt's upcoming international camp.
"History has shown he can be earlier back than others. He takes such good care of his body, he can be back earlier than others as history has shown. But, it is only two weeks until we go again."
Joe Gomez was on the bench for the midweek win over Galatasaray but did not feel fit to come on: "We tried to postpone it as long as we can. He might be available for tomorrow but definitely not to start."
On the dominant 4-0 win over the Turkish champions: "Styles make fights and if I have to explain this it means we faced a team in Galatasaray who wanted to press and bring the ball out from the back. They wanted to fight with us and it will never be about us if a game is not entertaining. Whenever a team wants to fight we will fight with them. When a team does not it is less open and less attractive. You cannot compare that at all with a lot of teams we have faced this season."
What does he expect from the Seagulls?: "A very attractive and interesting style. We only have 60 hours of rest after putting in an enormous physical performance. Brighton has always been a team who want to play, bring the ball out from the back, and make it a very intense game."
Slot was asked about his contract, which runs until the summer of 2027: "Is this how football works? We win one time and now we talk about my contract. I'm completely surprised with this question because my focus is completely on Brighton. It's going to be a fight until the end of the season and my focus is completely on that."
He does not want to play Dominik Szoboszlai at right-back, despite stressing Jeremie Frimpong's fatigue: "Dominik for me is a midfielder. When I play him in a different position it is not because I think I want to a tactical genius, it is I don't have other options and want to pick the best player available. Dominik is a very good midfielder for us, we have more than Dominik which is why I am able to move him to different positions and he can play well there. If I have the chance I play him in midfield."
On a quick turnaround before an early Saturday kick-off: "We are struggling to score goals, with all the chances we create it's unbelievable we don't score more. Emotionally and mentally it is not always easy after a peak we had on Wednesday evening, to go to a 12:30 kick-off against a team and fans who want to come at us straight away."

Liverpool put on an utterly dominant display against Galatasaray.
We know in one-off games that Liverpool can produce something special. We've seen it against Real Madrid in the early stages of the Champions League, but we haven't seen enough of it. That performance was everything we've been missing.
It had aggression, it had intensity, it had tempo, it had clinical finishing - even though the game could have finished 7-0 instead of 4-0 - but it just had aggression, and it felt like they had a point to prove.
Liverpool used Anfield. They used the fans and the crowd to make sure we were influencing that game of football - and we seriously did influence that game of football. Galatasaray were absolutely petrified. They were petrified of us on the pitch, but they were petrified with the atmosphere around the ground.
None of their players wanted the ball. None of them wanted to play. And Liverpool really used that. They made them vulnerable, they attacked them, they went for them.
Their goalkeeper saved them from embarrassment, and it leaves me thinking: if only we could see this performance a little bit more often and if only we could bring this intensity into every game of football.
We will certainly need to bring both the press and the intensity and the aggression into the next round against PSG because that will be a really tough game. That will be a step up.
But there are signs there that Liverpool can do this. Liverpool can take games out of the opponent's hands. We just need to see it more often.
We were absolutely superior all over the pitch, in every aspect, and Liverpool need to keep that going. They need to keep the intensity and aggression and tempo there. They need to keep the fans influencing games and getting up on their feet. That is how Liverpool will get success out of the rest of the season.
What that success is, I'm not sure, but they certainly need to do that.
Dominik Szoboszlai - what an absolutely obscene footballer he is. He's just a joy to watch. He's everywhere, he does all the hard grafting and he's absolutely spectacular on the ball as well.
A fabulous night, especially with Mo Salah getting to 50 Champions League goals as well. He's another superstar who we've been so lucky to watch.
It was a performance that gave me a lot of enjoyment - and a little bit of hope that we can do something similar against PSG.
Another 'magical' European night at Anfield - Zendenpublished at 15:32 GMT 19 March

Former Liverpool midfielder Bolo Zenden says Wednesday's win over Galatasaray was "one of those spectacular Champions League evenings" at Anfield and has eased the pressure on head coach Arne Slot.
Liverpool had 32 attempts against the Turkish champions, including 16 on target, and produced an impressive second-half display to comfortably seal the victory.
"Anfield on a European night can be magical," said Zenden on BBC Radio 5 Live Breakfast. "It was a gala display and these type of games can put a lot of confidence into a team.
"Slot needed this result to prove that he is the right man, and it shows he can still manage the team and turn things around. I think there will still be pressure on him though for the rest of the season.
"Defensively Liverpool have lacked a bit this season, and up front, when you create 10 chances you need to put away at least four of them. What's happened too often this season with Liverpool is that they haven't scored and then they've conceded at the end."
Zenden, who made 47 appearances for the Reds, was particularly impressed with Mohamed Salah's performance and added: "He was a threat. It was a pity to see him take the penalty the way he did as we've never seen him do that, but it was quickly forgotten.
"He went on to score a typical Salah goal and score his 50th goal in European competition. He has a lot in his locker and that's why he's still at Liverpool."
In the quarter-finals, Liverpool face reigning champions Paris Saint-Germain, who knocked them out of this competition last season.
"PSG are a well-balanced team, they've continued to grow since winning it last year and they have a lot of talent up front," added Zenden. "They play attractive football and score a lot of goals.
"We saw what happened to Chelsea so it's not going to be easy. It's the quarter-finals of the Champions League, so it can't be easy!"
Adam: A performance worthy of the players on that pitch. Fast, high press and direct. It looked like a Liverpool team playing the Liverpool way and it was great to watch... at last!
Barry: A performance to get excited about - finally. However, the opposition were poor and rarely win European matches away from home. We will see if Arne Slot is able to inspire the players to produce that intensity for the rest of the season, but sadly I can't see it happening. Our midfield is overrun far too easily time after time - and against Paris St-Germain, I fear we will be left wanting.
Kate: Someone woke the sleeping giants. Fantastic performance. Everyone put in a shift. Super passing, fast pace, exciting football. An old Mo Salah special and great assist for Hugo Ekitike. Of course, Szoboszlai is consistently the star man.
George: Great performance. It was like watching a Jurgen Klopp team - high press with lots of intensity. A return to heavy metal football. The team never let up and gave no space for Galatasaray to play. The scoreline could have been so much more. While you can't play like that every week, particularly if you have three games in a week, it begs the question why we don't play like that with one game a week. In that mood, Liverpool will be difficult to stop. Let's see what we have in the tank for the weekend against Brighton, but hopefully that energy and spirit are present. Congrats to Arne and the boys for a great performance. Same again please twice against PSG!
Karen: Excellent all round. A pleasure to watch. Who let the Reds out?!
Rob: Excellent application of effort. Cody Gakpo doesn't start and there's an immediate improvement in flow and movement. Some great performances but a standout first half from the two Hungarians - Milos Kerkez and Szoboszlai were superb! Salah showed some class, although the penalty was awful. PSG will be a sterner test, however.
Karl: A good performance - where has it been all season? Pressing, pace on the pass, one-touch football... all things we used to do and should do every minute of every game. Will we see it against Brighton? One good game doesn't cover over the cracks created by management.
Stuart: The balance of the side was a huge improvement. The Reds were much better being on the front foot. The passing was slicker, with plenty of options and players wanting the ball. No knocking the ball around at the back where the problems lie. Just imagine Ekitike and Isak in a 4-4-2! A sublime goal from Salah to bring up 50 goals in Europe!
'We need togetherness with our fans'published at 12:00 GMT 19 March

Virgil van Dijk has insisted that the Liverpool players need togetherness between them and the fans after Arne Slot's side qualified for the Champions League quarter-finals.
Speaking after Liverpool beat Galatasaray 4-0 to set up a last-eight tie with Paris St-Germain, Van Dijk said: "It's a combination of performance and the fans - they play a big part in that. The fans can probably say if we bring that every week on the pitch then there is no issue, and we can say if the fans bring that every three or four days then there is no issue either. So it is about doing it together.
"This season, as players, we take full responsibility for a lot of performances when we have not been good enough. But, there is no point speaking about it right now after we qualified for the last eight because that is still a very good thing."
Van Dijk admitted the players had spoken about bringing more energy to their performances after they were booed off against Tottenham at Anfield on Sunday. Just three days later, Anfield was in full flow as Liverpool knocked out the Turkish champions.
"There was a lot at stake - that was pretty obvious - so we had to show how much we wanted it together with our fans," added Van Dijk.
"I played last week in Istanbul and saw how big an impact their fans had on their performance and it was clear to see our fans played a big part in our performance."
Liverpool travel to face Brighton on Saturday (12:30 GMT) and Van Dijk was adamant, if Wednesday's display can be replicated, they still have a chance of success this season.
"The hardest thing is doing it each and every three or four days. If you do that, you become successful - or there's a big chance you become successful. That's what you strive for. That's what we had last year and that's what we try to reach.
"But you need multiple factors to go your way and not to get carried away. You should enjoy it as you are in the last eight, but there is another game in a few hours and they [Brighton] will be ready to make it as difficult as possible."
Which side has suffered most from Premier League injuries this season?published at 11:59 GMT 19 March

We are getting to the stage of the season where every Premier League team is managing injuries in their squad as the sheer volume and intensity of games begins to take its toll.
But who has been most affected by injuries across the campaign so far?
Ben Dinnery, from Premier Injuries Limited, has provided the data below, showing the number of domestic injuries each top-flight team has suffered, defined by a player missing at least one Premier League game.
The data has been taken from the opening weekend up to and including 18 March.
Despite this table listing domestic injuries, it is unsurprising that the top three of Arsenal, Chelsea and Aston Villa have all competed in European competition, with the Gunners still fighting on four fronts and the Blues also coming off the back of a much-shortened pre-season following their Club World Cup victory.
Perhaps more surprisingly, however, is the fact Arsenal's 31 domestic injuries so far comfortably leads the way, illustrating the strength and depth available to Mikel Arteta to still have his side nine points clear at the top of the table.
The graphic below shows Tottenham lead the way for days missed by injured players, illustrating the issues faced by Thomas Frank, who had to cope with long-term absentees including Dejan Kulusevski and James Maddison.
Both West Ham and Brentford are in the bottom three for domestic injuries and days missed through those injuries, while Arsenal and Villa are in the top three for both.
Chelsea drop down the table when looking at days missed, showing they have predominately suffered from short absences spread throughout the squad.
It is worth pointing out that Newcastle's two longest absences this season - Emil Krafth (120 days) and Yoane Wissa (88 days), who had not yet even trained with his new side, resulted from injuries picked up on international duty and are not factored into the figures.
Reds need to use Galatasaray win 'to find consistency' in performancespublished at 10:36 GMT 19 March

Former Liverpool defender Stephen Warnock praised the Reds for making "light work" of beating Galatasaray in the second leg of their Champions League tie and hopes they can replicate that level of performance in the Premier League going forward.
"It's a coin toss every week to see which Liverpool is going to turn up," said Warnock on BBC Radio 5 Live's Champions League Debrief. "How they motivate themselves is a big thing because at times they become passive in the way that they play and become way too open.
"Their attitude was right for this game and I think the system helped them going to a 4-4-2.
"Liverpool made light work of it, but the question is now whether they can do it away at Brighton on Saturday. We've seen shoots of recovery throughout the season but then in the next game they haven't matched that standard again.
"They need to find consistency from now until the end of the season."
Ex-Premier League goalkeeper Paul Robinson added: "Liverpool have stuttered at times this season, but this performance was so dominant and impressive.
"Fans will be delighted but they'll be wondering why they can't do that on a regular basis and have some consistency.
"They looked sharp and quick so whatever Arne Slot said to them at half-time had the desired effect.
"Mo Salah almost looked back to his best and Slot had interchanged the set-up for Hugo Ekitike, who looked really sharp.
"Everything just seemed to click. The fluidity, being on the front foot and closing down. The second half is arguably Liverpool's best performance of the season.
"Galatasaray were pretty passive but Liverpool didn't allow them to get into the game."
Salah shows 'mental strength' after penalty misspublished at 07:50 GMT 19 March

There was an error
Despite Liverpool's dominance against Galatasaray, the talk at half-time was of Mohamed Salah's missed penalty.
For a man who rarely misses, it was an unusually weak attempt and one that would certainly have got the headlines had the Reds not progressed.
By now, Salah's hunger for success is clear and it spoke volumes that instantly after his miss, he forced a save from Ugurcan Cakir.
And the Egyptian was involved in all three of Liverpool's second-half goals to cap off a terrific all-round display.
First, Salah teed up Hugo Ekitike, then it was Ryan Gravenberch who finished after Salah's strike was saved, for Liverpool's third.
The goal to make it 4-0 was a work of art as the 33-year-old used his left foot to curl a sublime effort into the top corner from outside the box.
"It says a lot about his mentality," said head coach Arne Slot. "That was a difficult moment [when he missed the penalty] but then to come out in the second half with a great assist for Hugo and then score a trademark goal coming inside and finding the top corner tells you a lot about his mental strength
"So, credit to him and the whole team because adversity is something we can talk about when it comes to this season."
There was some concern when Salah asked to be substituted in the 74th minute, with Slot saying afterwards that he had felt something.
But this was another timely reminder of his sheer class. Salah's numbers alone are stupendous and whether or not he is still a Liverpool player come next season, there is little doubt that they have a stronger chance of knocking out Paris St-Germain with him fit and firing.

Liverpool 4-0 Galatasaray: What Slot and Ekitike saidpublished at 22:48 GMT 18 March

Liverpool boss Arne Slot speaking to TNT Sports: "I liked the way we played, and I liked the way we pressed, also the reaction from the fans when Galatasaray were trying to do what I expected them to. Being on the floor and trying to kill the momentum. The only complaint is throughout the whole season, we've had so many chances where we've not scored, that's the only thing.
"The positive thing is we've had good halves and then spells of ten minutes where we've usually given a moment for the other team to score, but today nothing dropped. I don't think they had a chance. We kept on creating and creating.
"It's pleasing to keep a clean sheet, we've not conceded many chances, but we concede goals, but tonight we didn't even concede a chance."
On Mo Salah: "I think it says a lot about his mentality that he missed the penalty, which was a difficult moment. He then produced a great assist and then his goal is just a trademark of his.
"It means a lot for me and the players to get love from the fans. Anfield showed we can create an atmosphere better than Galatasaray at their place. Our fans reacted when they saw that they were wasting time and that helped a lot."
On facing PSG: "We were completely outplayed away from home last season and then lost on penalties. They haven't dropped their standards but after tonight they won't be happy to play us."
Liverpool striker Hugo Ekitike, speaking to TNT Sports: "We deserve to be here, so we're really happy. We did a really good job tonight, we could have won 10-0, so we can look forward to the quarter-final.
"We made a few changes at half-time and then when I took my chance we felt more free. Everybody did a great job and ran for each other.
On Mohamed Salah: "He's a legend. Sometimes people say he has a difficult season, but he's been an important player for years. I'm really happy for him scoring his 50th goal."

It would not be an understatement to say that this was Liverpool's biggest game of the season so far. Fail to go through and the pressure on Arne Slot would only have intensified.
After the crowd reaction on Sunday, when Liverpool were booed off after drawing to Tottenham, the Liverpool players needed to put in a performance for both their manager and the crowd.
And they delivered. From the outset, Galatasaray seemed determined to take time out of the game but, from the moment Dominik Szoboszlai broke the deadlock with his 12th goal of the season, the Turkish side had no answer to Liverpool's onslaught.
The home side were rampant and could have put the game to bed before half-time. At the break, Okan Buruk, the Galatasaray boss, made two changes in a bid to get some control back, but his side had no answer to Liverpool's energy.
Liverpool looked like they were scoring at will in the second half and in the end, it could have been way more than four, with Ugurcan Cakir deserving some praise for making save after save.
Reports in Turkey had suggested that Galatasaray players were going to share a €5m bonus (£4.3m) had they claimed Liverpool's scalp. In truth, they never even came close.
For Liverpool, despite their struggles, the season remains very much alive and the thought of a last-eight tie against PSG is tantalising to say the least.

When football fans become oracles, you know you have a serious problem. With 73 minutes gone in the turgid 1-1 draw with Spurs on Sunday, I turned to my mum: "I've seen the script, Tottenham equaliser in the 89th minute, Richarlison winner in the 92nd." "Richarlison will score", I added, "It's just a question of when."
I wasn't entirely right, but my prediction wasn't far off. Eight Premier League goals shipped after the clock strikes 90, you hardly have to be Nostradamus to work out what's going to happen next.
The issue all season has been that Liverpool can't stop stepping on rakes. A campaign soundtracked by circus music with accompanying "whomp, whomp" sound effects after every increasingly baffling mistake made by players who, just nine months ago, were crowned champions.
Which brings me to another problem. Liverpool's failings this season haven't been common or garden - they've been calamitous, cataclysmic, comedic. Roll up, roll up, come and see the champions' latest feat of ineptitude.
Failure for Liverpool this season is always skidding uncontrollably into comedy. 2-0 leads evaporating, Keystone Cops defending, and of course, the last-minute goals that have dogged the entire campaign. Winning the first seven games in all competitions through an improbable combination of late goals and luck only gilds the comedic lily.
"We're so bad it's funny." A phrase all over Anfield on Sunday and reverberating around Liverpool's social media as unsold tickets appeared hours before kick-off and repeating this morning ahead of the visit of Galatasaray. Anfield isn't angry this season - how could it be? Events of the summer are never far from our thoughts.
But Anfield needs to be angry. To intimidate the opposition, just as Liverpool were intimidated by the electronically assisted whistles at Rams Park last week. "We shall not be moved." All Anfield's most famous nights in my life - Chelsea in 2005, Barca in 2019 - opponents met with a cauldron of disdain.
There will be no acts of defiance perpetrated by the Anfield crowd this season as long as the comedic apathy remains. Liverpool will continue to be the butt of the joke until that changes.
Was Klopp's 'physical base' responsible for Slot's strong start at Liverpool?published at 15:27 GMT 18 March

When Arne Slot joined Liverpool, he brought a fresh approach.
Surprisingly, the Reds did not look for a like-for-like replacement when Jurgen Klopp left and, as Liverpool began to win games under Slot, this felt refreshing for fans and players alike.
The Dutch manager's more controlled approach was a clear change to Klopp's 'heavy-metal' style of play, instead opting for slower possession and less intense pressure off the ball.
Part of Slot's appeal to Liverpool's decision makers during their manager search could have been the fact he ranked second for keeping his players fit. Interestingly, it was only Ruben Amorim's Sporting that ranked higher.
Both Slot's tactics and the training methods he used would have contributed to this and Liverpool's ability to keep players sharp and fit throughout last season was a major reason behind them winning the league.
Sessions under Slot are not as intense as they were under Klopp, tailored instead to specific players and the demands of Liverpool's schedule.
This season, however, Liverpool have not had the same luck with injuries as they did last term. They have also consistently struggled to see games out.
After a 1-1 draw against Burnley in January, Virgil van Dijk said: "After 60 minutes, we started to become sloppy and it's not the first time. We have to address that."
As positive as Slot's changes were in his first season, there is a possibility that they were so effective because they were stacked upon the physical base that Klopp had built through an approach that might be considered too strenuous on its own.
For a team to succeed, tactics and the skillset of the squad have to be considered together. Simply put, a team's style has to suit their players.
