Here are the top Liverpool FC headlines from across the media this morning.
Sir Martin Broughton, the former Reds chairman who helped bring about the sale of the club to FSG in 2010, is part of a consortium bidding to buy his boyhood club Chelsea from sanctioned owner Roman Abramovich, reports The Times.

"The bidders battling to buy Chelsea were waiting last night to discover if they had been included on a three or four-strong shortlist, with the New York bank appointed by Roman Abramovich to find a buyer poised to make an announcement.
"Sources close to the Todd Boehly-led consortium remained confident yesterday that they would make the cut, while Sir Martin Broughton — whose consortium is supported by Lord Coe — told Times Radio that he was a man who could deliver after finding new owners for Liverpool back in 2010.
"Broughton explained that the decision was ultimately being made by the key Chelsea directors who have been running the club since Abramovich became the subject of sanctions by the UK Government."
