Joe Gomez and James Milner are fit for Liverpool’s trip to Chelsea on Tuesday. Defender Gomez missed the weekend game against Watford due to a minor fitness issue, while a slight muscle strain precluded vice-captain Milner from playing in that match and last Monday’s victory over West Ham United. However, both are available for the FA Cup fifth-round tie at Stamford Bridge, with Jürgen Klopp also reporting no fresh injury concerns ahead of the visit to the capital. “No new ones [injuries], I think. Joe and Millie are back. The others aren’t,” the boss told the media on Monday. Jordan Henderson (hamstring) and Xherdan Shaqiri (calf) remain sidelined. Source:liverpoolfc.com

Takumi Minamino's ability and mentality make him a perfect fit for Jürgen Klopp's Liverpool, Joe Gomez  believes. Minamino has made four appearances for the  Reds since arriving on Merseyside in January  from Austrian outfit Salzburg, who had faced  Klopp's side in two Champions League group- stage encounters earlier in the season.   And before the Japan international had even  completed the switch, Gomez was convinced  about his suitability to the Premier League  leaders based on those hugely impressive  displays in the European meetings. "He's a happy guy, positive and [got] a nice  aura to him," Gomez told Soccer AM.  "But to be fair, everyone was aware of him  from when we played them – just like when  he came to Anfield, what he did and how well  he took the game.  "I think as well his desire to press and adapt  to our style of play. Obviously the...

Joe Gomez is rightly earning high praise for his excellent defensive performances, but against West Ham United he demonstrated why is is also a vital component of Liverpool's attacking play.

In the early days under Jürgen Klopp, there was a clear tactical blueprint for bottom-half sides to follow which proved successful in stifling Liverpool's attacking play. Usually a variation of 4-5-1 or 5-4-1, managers would set their teams up to keep a compact, deep defensive block, rigidly sticking to their shape and rarely venturing beyond the half way line, content to let Liverpool knock the ball around and take pot shots from distance without being able to penetrate. Gradually, over the past few years, Liverpool have chipped away at this blueprint to...

Adrian Clarke says solid defensive partnership with Virgil van Dijk will be crucial if Liverpool are to stop in-form Leicester striker Jamie Vardy Defender  Joe Gomez  has rediscovered his best form with impeccable timing for Liverpool. Gomez had slipped behind  Joel Matip   and  Dejan Lovren  in  Jurgen Klopp ’s centre-back pecking order. But the duo's absence in recent matches has given the 22-year-old an opportunity, and he has grabbed it with both hands. Gomez was outstanding as the Reds won the FIFA Club World Cup with a  1-0 victory over Flamengo . He was also pivotal in a trio of clean sheets picked up earlier this month against AFC Bournemouth , RB Salzburg and  Watford .  Commanding and athletic, Gomez will be a key figure in Liverpool's defence as they look to preserve their unbeaten Premier League run at second-placed  Leicester City  on Boxing Day. Vardy threat The in-form  Jam...

  Joe Gomez was one of the outstanding performers in a sub-par Liverpool display against Watford, and his return to form comes at a crucial time.

Joe Gomez made a statement of intent today, returning to his preferred role at centre-back following Dejan Lovren’s injury in mid-week against Red Bull Salzburg . Gomez’s efforts were crucial to the Reds' clean sheet today, as he was one of Liverpool’s top performers defensively, including in big moments. Prior to Liverpool’s first goal, Gomez made a crucial block on Gerard Deulofeu, preventing Watford from notching a shot on target in the first half (though inexplicably poor efforts on the part of Watford's players were also helpful). Just after half-time, Gomez made a crucial r...

Ref.Liverpoolfc.com A classy, unflappable defender who can operate anywhere across the backline, Joe Gomez has overcome serious injury setbacks to become a Champions League winner and key member of Liverpool’s squad by the age of just 22. Signed from Charlton Athletic in the summer of 2015, Gomez has featured regularly for the Reds at centre-back, right-back and left-back. Handed his senior debut for Liverpool on the opening day of the 2015-16 season, aged just 18, Gomez sustained a serious knee injury while on international duty with England U21s shortly after  Jürgen Klopp ’s arrival in October 2015. After a 17-month spell on the sidelines, Gomez returned to action in January 2017, and signed a new long-term contract with the club that same month. The following campaign, 2017-18, saw Gomez make 31 appearances for the Reds as they reached the Champions League final, where they lost out to Real Madrid. An outstanding start to 2018-19, during which he primarily...
