Manager:
- Xabi Alonso (24/25, 4+1yr contract)

Won the 24/25 FA Cup and 25/26 UEFA Europa League.

Xabi showed great tactical flexibility in Merseyside, alternating between a 4-1-2-3 and a 4-2-3-1 system.
In the defensive phase, he pioneered a trend where one of the midfielders pushed up near the striker, creating a 4-4-2 shape. This aimed to counteract the ubiquitous 3-2-4-1 offensive shape used by most top teams in the league by having 4 players closing down passing lanes in the central areas, effectively negating the "extra man, box midfield" advantage of this system.
