The name Liverpool Football Club is synonymous with success in world football. Liverpool are not only one of the most successful British clubs in terms of domestic and European trophies, but they are also one of the world’s most well-supported. 

The club’s legendary anthem, You’ll Never Walk Alone, is the hymn that arouses supporters, coaches, and players every time the Reds take the pitch. Liverpool won the Premier League in 2019-20 ending a 30-year wait to win the league championship. While league titles were hard to come by for three decades, the Reds still won silverware in the form of domestic and European cups. 

Now, back on their perch, the Anfielders are one of the most popular clubs for bettors to wager on each matchday. 

About Liverpool 

Liverpool Football Club were formed by local Merseyside businessman John Houlding in 1892. Houlding found himself as the owner of Anfield, but didn’t have a team to play at the ground. Everton FC had moved from Anfield to Goodison Park that year, leaving a vacancy at the now-legendary ground. Houlding remedied the aliment by founding Liverpool Football Club with Anfield as the team’s stadium. 

The club bounced between divisions until the arrival of Bill Shankly in 1959. It didn’t take long for Shankly’s new training methods and tactics to take shape and guide Liverpool out of the Second Division. The Reds won the Second Division in 1961-62 and two years later, lifted the First Division trophy. He won three First Division trophies, a UEFA Cup, and two FA Cups before stepping down in 1974. 

Assistant manager Bob Paisley took over and continued the team’s success well into the 1980s. Paisley’s appointment led to the famed Boot Room succeeding managers as they departed. An inability to modernise in a variety of ways left Liverpool on the periphery of success in the 1990s. While clubs like Manchester United, Newcastle United, and Arsenal thrived in the all-new Premier League, Liverpool were left clutching the past. It wouldn't be until the arrival of Gerard Houllier in the late 1990s that Liverpool would enter the modern era. Even then, there were those who tried to pull the club back into the past. 

Bet on Liverpool

Leading sportsbooks offer betting markets on Liverpool every matchday of the football season. The long football season offers bettors the opportunity to wager on the Reds in a variety of ways. Bettors can wager on Liverpool as the outright winner of the Premier League or domestic cup competitions before they kick off.

There is the opportunity to bet on one-off matches, players, correct scores, goals, and more. Special offers on big games in the league or Champions League are also available with major bookies.

Bettors have the chance to select bets on Liverpool in the transfer market and which player(s) will arrive at Anfield. Bettors can even wager on the next Liverpool manager although Jurgen Klopp has earned Shankly- and Paisley-like status since restoring the club back to their perch. 

Liverpool Players

Anfield is the home of some of the world’s most recognised players today. However, no Liverpool player is as recognisable as forward Mohamed Salah. The Egyptian winger has set record after record since joining Liverpool from Roma in 2017. Salah has scored 125 goals and tallied 47 assists in 203 games for the Reds. 

Salah isn’t the only top star at Anfield. Captain Jordan Henderson has become the “new Steven Gerrard” while centre-back Virgil van Dijk is the rock in the team’s defence. 

Goalkeeper Alisson Becker has won a clutch of individual awards since joining the club in 2018 from Roma. Alisson was the FIFA Best Goalkeeper, Champions League Goalkeeper of the Season, and Premier League Golden Gloves winner all in 2019.

Liverpool Managers 

Liverpool’s modern-day success begins with Bill Shankly. The Scotsman took charge of the team in 1959. Since Shankly’s departure, Liverpool have had just 13 managers while clubs like Chelsea have gone through 13 managers in the last 20 years. The Boot Room managers were in charge for decades at Liverpool with Bob Paisley and Joe Fagan following on as coach. 

Legendary players Kenny Dalglish and Graeme Souness managed the team in the late 1980s and 1990s. As the millennium came, Liverpool looked to French manager Gerard Houllier to lead the way. His success was followed by Rafael Benitez and Jurgen Klopp, who brought Liverpool’s Premier League title wait of 30 years to an end.
