Liverpool: The Reds are kicking off 2025 in style, sitting eight points clear at the top of the Premier League. They’re also looking strong in other competitions.

After a whirlwind 2024 with Jurgen Klopp’s departure and new faces like Michael Edwards and Richard Hughes stepping in, it’s hard to say what 2025 will bring. But one thing’s for sure, Liverpool has handled the changes well on the pitch.

Now, they’ve got some big decisions ahead. Liverpool.com has highlighted four things that are likely to happen this year. Feel free to share your thoughts in the comments!

First up, major contract decisions are on the table. The futures of Virgil van Dijk, Trent Alexander-Arnold, and Mohamed Salah are uncertain. With their contracts running out soon, it’s a bit nerve-wracking. Ideally, they’d all stick around for a couple more years, but we’ll have to wait and see.

Last year, we were already feeling the pressure about their contracts, but now it’s even more urgent. They can start talking to other clubs about pre-contracts, so expect a lot of chatter around them.

Next, Arne Slot is looking to make his mark with some key signings. Liverpool did bring in Federico Chiesa, but he hasn’t made much of an impact yet. They’ll need to strengthen a few positions, especially left-back, which might mean saying goodbye to either Andy Robertson or Kostas Tsimikas.

They also need solid backup for Ryan Gravenberch. Whether it’s Martin Zubimendi or someone else, a midfield signing is crucial to keep the squad fresh.

And let’s not forget about the attack. With questions around Darwin Nunez and the possibility of Salah leaving, Liverpool might need another forward. Having six senior forwards would be smart, especially with the busy schedule ahead.

On the youth front, Liverpool’s academy is buzzing with talent. Trey Nyoni is one to keep an eye on after his recent performance in the Carabao Cup. Rio Ngumoha is another exciting prospect, and Ben Doak is doing well on loan at Middlesbrough.

Other names to watch include Amara Nallo, Kieran Morrison, and Joe Bradshaw, who’s been scoring goals for fun at the U18 level. Jayden Danns might be ready for a loan to gain experience, but he won’t be joining Wayne Rooney at Plymouth after his recent firing.

Finally, Liverpool is in a fantastic position to grab some silverware this year. They’re favorites for the Premier League title, especially with Manchester City struggling. Chelsea is also out of European competition, which gives Liverpool an edge.

While there’s still a long way to go, Liverpool has the firepower and experience to make a serious run. They should reach the Carabao Cup final and progress in the FA Cup. In the Champions League, they’ll be a tough opponent for anyone. With City faltering, there’s a real chance to capitalize on that too.
