Jurgen Klopp has joked Mohamed Salah found a right foot on holiday as he hailed the forward s continued development ahead of Monday s trip to Manchester United.

Salah has picked up from where he left off last season with two goals and an assist in Liverpool s opening three games of the 2022-23 campaign.

The Egypt international has also created 12 chances across those three outings, which is five more than next-best Trent Alexander-Arnold.

Indeed, only Borussia Monchengladbach s Alassane Plea and Paris Saint-Germain star Neymar (both 13) have created more chances this term across Europe s top five leagues.

And as Salah looks to match Thierry Henry in winning the Premier League Golden Boot for a record fourth time, Klopp believes the 30-year-old is only get…

Manchester United forward Marcus Rashford is relishing the challenge of facing Liverpool, issuing a rallying cry to the club s supporters after a torrid start.

Erik ten Hag s side welcome their north west rivals to Old Trafford on the back of a woeful start to the season, losing back-to-back matches at Brighton and Brentford to stand pointless in the early stages of 2022-23.

While there is additional pressure on Monday s fixture, with Liverpool also seeking their first win of the season after consecutive draws, Rashford is feeling no different to how he did in previous encounters.

To be honest, I feel exactly the same [as in the past], he told the club s official website.

Against anyone, you want to win but against your Liverpools and Manchester Citys…

Everton have confirmed left-back Leighton Baines will remain at the club next season after signing a new one-year contract.

Baines will enter his 13th campaign at the club after the 34-year-old defender agreed to extend his stay at Goodison Park.

Former England international Baines, who joined from Wigan Athletic in 2007, started only five Premier League games last term.

However, despite being usurped by Lucas Digne following the left-back s arrival from Barcelona, Baines was happy to stay.

I do feel as proud as when I first signed, he told Everton s website. As you get older, you realise the work you need to do to sustain the level required by the club.

And to be judged to be at that level in the later stages of your career is testament to the …

Competition: Premier League

Market: Manchester United to beat Bournemouth

Odds: 

With neither side left with much more to cheer about this season, Manchester United will be desperate to bounce back from their shock 1-0 loss against rock-bottom West Brom last time out.

For Eddie Howe s Bournemouth side, while the Cherries are coming off the back of a 3-0 drumming away at Anfield last weekend, the South Coast club have all but guaranteed another year of Premier League football at the Vitality Stadium. Now just three points away from breaking into the top half of the table, Howe will know his side must improve on their recent defensive issues if they want to finish the year on a high note, the Cherries now have picked up just three points once in their…

Roberto Pereyra is eager to quit Juventus and join Napoli, the midfielder s agent has said.

The 25-year-old moved to Turin from Udinese in 2014 but has found first-team opportunities limited under Massimiliano Allegri.

Pereyra made just nine starts in Serie A last season, and the signing of Miralem Pjanic for a reported €32million fee has only cast further doubt on his place in Allegri s plans for 2016-17.

The former Argentina youth international is now close to sealing a move to Napoli, although disputes over image rights are holding up the final stages of negotiations.

I m waiting for a call from [Napoli director] Cristiano Giuntoli to meet up around a table in Milan and discuss the situation,  Pereyra s agent, Sergio Furlan, told CalcioNapoli24.

Mathieu Valbuena is determined to prove himself at Lyon and win back his place in the France team as he seeks to forget an unhappy 2015-16 season.

Valbuena, 31, was not selected by Didier Deschamps for Euro 2016 on home soil.

His compatriot Karim Benzema, infamously, was also absent from the European Championship after being charged as part of an investigation into an alleged attempt to blackmail Valbuena over a sex tape. 

The attacking midfielder has acknowledged, unsurprisingly, the previous campaign was one to forget, professionally and personally.

It was a s***** season, he told France 2.

The Benzema thing? It was not easy you have to be strong. I have no complaint against him, and we have not met since. Frankly, I haven t thought about it …

Yacouba Sylla will aim to kick-start his career at Rennes after leaving Aston Villa to sign a four-year deal with the Ligue 1 club.

Mali international Sylla made just 24 appearances for Villa following a move from Clermont in January 2013.

The defensive midfielder spent last season on loan with Kayseri Erciyesspor in the Turkish Super Lig and has now become the latest player to depart Villa Park, as Tim Sherwood oversees a close-season clear-out after the club s 17th-placed finish in the Premier League.

Darren Bent and Andreas Weimann have each left Villa for Derby County, while full-back Matthew Lowton is reportedly on the verge of signing for Burnley.

Having sealed a return to France, Sylla told Rennes official website: I needed to regain stability.

Having recorded a shock victory over Slovenia in their opening fixture, Estonia were unable to avoid defeat in Lithuania, and they are now set to face arguably the best team in the group. After rolling over San Marino in midweek, England should have plenty left in the rank to ensure the third successive triumph in the Euro 2016 qualifiers.

Estonia are one of the weaker national teams to have emerged as the Soviet Union collapsed, and their best result up to date remains a second-place finish in the Euro 2012 qualifying group, when they left the likes of Serbia, Slovenia and Northern Ireland behind. The team, however, haven t enjoyed a lot of success of late, picking up mere seven points in their 2014 World Cup qualifying group, albeit holding Netherlands to a 2-2 draw at home. …

Diego Milito has hailed Wesley Sneijder s legacy at Inter but accepted that the player must now choose his own path.

Sneijder has been locked in an internal struggle at the club for several months over a new contract, leaving him to play a bit-part in the current campaign as his relationship with coach Andrea Stramaccioni soured.

But Milito has stressed that the players continue to get on well with the man who inspired the side to an historic treble in 2010, although he accepted that the 28-year-old must now decide where his future lies.

He told Sky Italia: (Sneijder) helped write the history of this club and the players get on great with him. We have left him free to decide which path he wants to take.

Stramaccioni has come in for criticism from some q…

Wigan Athletic are closing in on the signing of Sunderland winger James McClean, .

Queens Park Rangers and Blackburn Rovers have also been linked with a move for the 24 year old who is not part of Paolo Di Canio’s plans at the North East side.

The Republic of Ireland international initially impressed when he burst on to the scene under then manager Martin O’Neill in the second half of the 2011/12 campaign.

However, he struggled to reproduce that form last team as the Black Cats flirted with relegation – with Di Canio now willing to let him leave.

The Latics are keen to wrap up a deal as soon as possible as they embark upon a season that will see them make their bow in Europe having clinched the FA Cup back in May.

They won their open…
