Liverpool are back at Anfield tomorrow! It has been a long week of waiting after the opening day win, but we’re almost there.
Transfer corner
As you might expect, not a whole lot going on in the market in terms of incoming deals for Jurgen Klopp‘s squad – but that doesn’t mean no transfer news at all.
Ben Woodburn remains on the cusp of a loan move to Hearts, despite earlier stories suggesting he’d stay for the season. A strong summer simply must be followed up by a campaign where he proves his worth this time, for his own sake.
LFC Women are gearing up for a more sustained assault on a promotion bid from the Championship, with Charlotte Wardlaw becoming the eighth signing of the summer – a loan deal from Chelsea, this time.
And finally, there’s no real movement on Xherdan Shaqiri‘s exit, with French outlet Le Progres reporting there is a “significant” gap between what Lyon want to pay and what Liverpool are demanding as a fee.

Tweet of the day and match of the night
A lot of talk this week about Romelu Lukaku being the 'final piece in Chelsea's jigsaw'. Got me thinking about other footballing final jigsaw pieces and none spring to mind quite like this one: pic.twitter.com/pyOksUsAbY
