Despite blasting Bournemouth 9-0 in the domestic League this season, Liverpool have had a lacklustre outing. The big summer signing of the Benfica striker Darwin Nunez for a record 80 million brought hope to those with Liverpool tickets.

However, the Reds sit 6th behind Manchester United in the Premier League with losses to even Nottingham Forest, to add to their losses against arch-rivals Manchester United and Arsenal, and have lost the UCL group to Napoli despite managing to secure qualification for the knockouts.
After placing the legendary soccer team up for sale in November, Fenway Sports Group might now consider a partial sale of Liverpool FC.
According to FSG, it was in Liverpool's best interests to consider new shareholders, a move they hope to do under the right terms and conditions.
Despite Forbes ranking Liverpool as the fourth-most expensive soccer team with a $4.45 billion valuation, the Premier League club has not yet received a "compelling offer."
FSG also owns other lucrative sports franchises in the US; Boston Red Sox and Pittsburgh Penguins. For $353.4 million, the sports investment firm purchased Liverpool in 2010.
A prospective sale of Premier League rival Manchester United, which, like the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, is owned by the Glazer family, may have resulted in underwhelming bids for Liverpool.
For a potential transaction, The Glazers have retained The Raine Group, which managed the $5.4 billion sale of Chelsea, and are reportedly seeking more than $7.2 billion for Manchester United.
The Sporting News reports that a consortium of private businessmen from Saudi Arabia and Qatar intend to make an "initial proposal in the range of $3.9 billion" for the franchise.
Mukesh Ambani, the owner of the Mumbai Indians of the Indian Premier League, has also expressed interest in Liverpool. The richest sports owner in the world, the oil, retail, and telecommunications billionaire could afford FSG's high asking price thanks to his $97.5 billion net worth.
Owner of the Philadelphia 76ers and New Jersey Devils, Harris Blitzer Sports & Entertainment, is also considering the option.
In not-so-sweet news for those with Liverpool tickets, Injury expert Ben Dinnery predicts Diogo Jota's rehabilitation from his injury will be "difficult." Jota plays for Liverpool.
Despite being scheduled to fly to Dubai with the rest of the team, the Reds' forward is still recovering from a calf muscle injury he suffered against Manchester City at Anfield back in October and may not be available to Jurgen Klopp anytime soon.
The Liverpool Echo reports that Jota, who was previously expected to remain out until the break for the Qatar World Cup, which he has already missed the opportunity to participate in with the Portugal national team, now faces a battle to return to first-team action for Klopp's club before February.
The 25-year-old is scheduled to travel to Dubai to continue his recovery, according to Liverpool assistant manager Pep Lijnders. However, this is only because the warm climate improves his rehabilitation.
In a recent interview with the Redmen TV, Dinnery mentioned that the Portugal international had missed the preseason schedule due to a hamstring injury, which could cause additional issues in the future. Now the expert has provided another update.
Since sustaining a knee injury in the 3-2 loss vs Arsenal on October 9, Luis Diaz has been injured, missing his team's last ten matches.
However, his setback was timed to be less damaging than it may have been because the campaign was put on hold for nearly six weeks because of a winter World Cup.
That has made it possible for Diaz to concentrate on his recovery and enjoy some downtime in his native Colombia and back in Merseyside.
Concerning Diaz's rehabilitation, Liverpool believes "all went to plan" and that he is "now in a position to resume team training" to play against Lyon and AC Milan.
On December 11 and 16, the Reds will compete in two friendlies as part of the Dubai Super Cup against teams from Ligue 1 and Serie A with the hopes that the No. 23 can at least play "some part." Those with Liverpool tickets for the competition will be excited to see Diaz back.
In addition to Joel Matip and Naby Keita, Diaz is not the only player whose extended absence is scheduled to conclude in Dubai.
Matip has not played since the loss at Arsenal, but he was getting closer to returning before the break, while Keita has been sidelined with a hamstring injury since the 1-1 draw with Crystal Palace on August 15.
Although there is no current information regarding loanee Arthur's health, he will likely travel to Dubai with Diogo Jota.
Jonathan Power, the club's new doctor, will be introduced to the players for the first time during this break, even though his full-time responsibilities won't start until 2023.
Ben Jacobs, a transfer specialist, believes that Liverpool may use the friendship between Jordan Henderson and Jude Bellingham, both of whom play for England, to quicken the former's move to the Reds.
The celebration between Bellingham and Henderson following the Three Lions' thrashing of Senegal in the round of 16 may have paved the way for a transfer.
Because of his close friendships with players like Alexander-Arnold and Henderson, Liverpool are presently in the lead to sign the wonderkid from Borussia Dortmund to Anfield.
Declan Rice is reportedly interested in joining Liverpool should the English team make a move for him. Rice has put on some tantalizing displays for England in Qatar and has also played a significant role for West Ham United.
However, the seasoned midfielder is looking to advance his career and play in the Champions League. According to the article, Rice might cost Liverpool £70 million, but with Jurgen Klopp aiming to bolster his midfield, Rice might be the perfect addition.
Mohammed Kudus, a Ghanaian midfielder for Ajax, is a massive favourite of Liverpool manager Jürgen Klopp, who reportedly asked the team to make special efforts to sign him. Kudus has been an essential player for club and country, and his World Cup performances piqued the interest of numerous top European clubs. Those with Liverpool tickets will be excited to see the Ghanaian don red.
Calciomercato reports that Liverpool is prepared to trade for Juventus striker Dusan Vlahovic in exchange for centre-back Ibrahima Konate. According to the report, Konate hasn't completely won over Jurgen Klopp. Given that the German manager is rumoured to be a massive fan of Vlahovic, the Reds might include Konate in a potential trade.
In the summer, Piotr Zielinski of Napoli will reportedly be a target for Liverpool, claims journalist Rudy Galetti. In 2016, the Reds attempted to sign the Polish international but were unsuccessful. The midfielder is reportedly a significant favourite of Jurgen Klopp, who is looking to make changes before the upcoming season and is looking forward to bringing him to Anfield.
According to reports, Jurgen Klopp's agent has ended the rumours around him. After the Reds' disastrous start to the year, concerns over Klopp's future at Anfield surfaced. And it appeared as though Klopp would take Hansi Flick's place after Germany's World Cup exit in the group stage.
However, according to his representative, the seasoned manager wants to honour his contract at Liverpool and keep managing in England through 2026. Communicating with Sky Germany, " It's a media issue", Marc Kosicke said via Florian Plettenberg. "Jurgen expects to complete his Liverpool contract, which runs through 2026."
With Liverpool expected to be active in the transfer market, exciting times are up for the Merseyside club. Liverpool tickets are selling out rapidly. Hence, there might be other options than official retail sites. Official reseller sites will help you source Liverpool tickets.
