Liverpool

Liverpool Football Club play their home matches at Anfield in Liverpool. The club has a long and successful history which started in 1892 when the club was founded at Anfield. When Liverpool play at home, they wear red shirts, shorts and socks. The club badge features the Liver bird, which is the symbol of the city of Liverpool.

Liverpool are one of the most successful football teams in British football history. They have won 18 League titles and only Manchester United have won more League titles than Liverpool. But, Liverpool haven’t won a Premier League title yet - they last won the league in 1990. Liverpool have won more European trophies than any other English team with 5 European Cups, 3 UEFA Cups and 3 UEFA Super Cups. Liverpool have also won the FA Cup 7 times and the League Cup a record 8 times.

Liverpool's ex-captain Steven Gerrard is from Liverpool and joined Liverpool football club when he was 9 years old. Gerrard first played for Liverpool in 1998 and was the only football club he has ever played for. Gerrard was captain of Liverpool and England and he played over 500 games for the Reds, scoring over 100 goals. Gerrard won 2 FA Cups, 3 League Cups, 1 UEFA Cup and 1 Champions League and is the only player to have scored a goal in an FA Cup, League Cup, UEFA Cup and Champions League Final. Gerrard was given the MBE award (Member of the British Empire) in 2006 by Queen Elizabeth II. Gerrard left Liverpool in the summer of 2015 to play for LA Galaxy in the USA but is now back at Anfield as a coach. On the pitch, it is up to Jordan Henderson and other Liverpool players to fill the gap that Gerrard leaves on the field and in the dressing room.

‘Is he the best in the world? He might not get the attention of Messi and Ronaldo but yes, I think he just might be.’ Zinedine Zidane , 2009.

In 2016/17, Liverpool finished 4th in the Premier League and qualified for the Champions League. It will be the first time that Liverpool have played in Europe's top competition since the 2014/15 season. Liverpool manager, Jurgen Klopp, has brought a new style of football to the club and a lot of excitement. The Reds’ top scorer last season was Philippe Coutinho, with 14 goals after an injury-hit season for Daniel Sturridge and Sadio Mane. Liverpool expect to be challenging at the top of the table again this season and Mohamed Salah's big money arrival from Roma in Italy is a signal of their intentions. Liverpool might want to add a bit more firepower to their attack if they want to challenge at the very top of the league.

"Some people believe football is a matter of life and death. I can assure you it is much, much more important than that". Bill Shankly, Ex-Liverpool Manager.
