Darwin Nunez is the cover star of the first official matchday programme of 2025 - the Reds’ Premier League clash with Manchester United. Inside, the no9 reflects on his strong bond with team-mate Alisson Becker and discusses building solid connections on the pitch. Elsewhere, Curtis Jones, a scorer in Liverpool's last game at Anfield against Leicester City on Boxing Day, talks about the team’s transition under Arne Slot and explains that he wants to be a reliable member of the squad during 2025 and beyond.

We also have Slot’s pre-match thoughts in his exclusive column alongside those of captain Virgi van Dijk.
Also in this issue, we get the pre-match thoughts of ex-Reds defender Gary Gillespie, bring you the latest from the club’s women’s and academy teams and hear from Reds fan Jake Nolan about his latest initiative, Sunday Best. We also round up the latest match action, while there is a quiz to test your knowledge of left-back Kostas Tsimikas plus some teasers for younger supporters in Mighty Red’s puzzle page.
We bring you the story of how former midfielder Craig Johnston was recently reunited with a much-loved piece of memorabilia, highlight the success of last month’s Forever Reds Christmas lunch and recall the Reds career of Greater Manchester-born Sixties star Alf Arrowsmith.

Elsewhere we cherish the glory of Rome 1977 and put the spotlight on some of the players to have donned the LFC no18 shirt during the Premier League era from Phil Charnock to Cody Gakpo.
With all this and much, much more make sure you pick up your copy at the match, from club stores or via the Reds’ online store.
