Liverpool regained seven points lead at the top of the table as they won against Brighton and Hove Albion at Amex stadium by a goal to nil. It was that man again, Mohamed Salah who put his side in front from twelve yards and at the cessation of 90 minutes, it turned out to be a winning goal.

The January transfer window has opened from 1st January and the Merseyside club is yet again stealing the headlines of the EPL Transfer News. But, their transfer plans look to have the inclination towards outgoings rather than incomings.

Premier League table-toppers have already sold striker Dominic Solanke for the fee of £19 million on a permanent basis while they have sold Nathaniel Clyne, Camil Grabara, Taiwo Awoniyi, Ovie Ejaria on loan basis.

The winter transfer window will slam shut on January 31 and Reds could be in for more transfers in the period.

#5 Ben Woodburn (Out, loan basis)

After undergoing quite a frustrating loan spell at Sheffield United, Reds' 18-year-old youngster Ben Woodburn has returned to Anfield. But with very less first team opportunities available and taking into consideration Jurgen Klopp's latest loaning policy, the Wales international could be again departing Liverpool in January.
