Blood Red: The Liverpool Fc Podcast

Ahead of tonight’s huge match, Matt Addison speaks to Football.London's Tottenham Hotspur reporter Alasdair Gold to get the lowdown on the visitors to Anfield and the team Jose Mourinho has taken to the top of the table. In Harry Kane, Spurs have a player looking more like Roberto Firmino every week that goes by, while Heung-min Son is benefiting greatly from his captain’s transition to a creator as well as a goalscorer. Along with Gareth Bale, Tottenham fans hope they have a trio to rival Liverpool’s Mohamed Salah, Sadio Mane and Firmino, and while they aren’t quite there yet, the quality of the individuals is clear. It’s also the case in the other areas of the pitch, where Sergio Reguilon, who Liverpool looked at before signing Kostas Tsimikas in the summer, has started life in north London in fine form. Tanguy N’Dombele, meanwhile, has turned a corner, making the midfield battle something to look forward to at Anfield for a Liverpool team still with a plethora of injury problems limiting their selection op

Welcome to the Press Conference on the Blood Red channel, where usually we hear just from Jurgen Klopp ahead of Liverpool’s next match. But seeing as their next match is such a big one, we will also be hearing from the manager of the Tottenham Hotspur team that will arrive at Anfield tomorrow night for a top-of-the-table battle... and that manager, of course, being Jose Mourinho. Jurgen praised Jose for turning Spurs into a ‘result machine' at his press conference at Kirby, and Jose responded to those comments at his own press conference, later in the afternoon, as well as making some interesting remarks about Liverpool’s injury problems. You can hear both of the press conferences, which includes touching tributes to the late, great Gerard Houllier, here.Watch and subscribe to our Blood Red videos on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/BloodRedLiverpoolFCJoin our Blood Red podcast group on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1656599847979758/Visit the Liverpool ECHO website: https://www.liverpoolecho.co

After the Champions League draw was made, pairing Liverpool with RB Leipzig, Josh Williams and David Hughes look at that enticing encounter and preview the visit of Tottenham Hotspur to Anfield. Julian Nagelsmann's Leipzig side will provide a stern test for Jurgen Klopp's men to navigate, but with that tie still a number of weeks away, there is plenty of time for things to change - particularly on the Liverpool injury front. With Harry Kane, Jose Mourinho and Co first to come to town on Wednesday, the Analysing Anfield regulars look into how the game might pan out, with Spurs set to provide a massive test for the Reds, whether Joel Matip is back from injury or not. Kane is far from their only threat, with Heung-min Son, Tanguy N'Dombele and plenty of others picked out as being big threats. Liverpool will certainly have to improve on their performance at Fulham if they are to get anything from Tottenham in what should be a mouthwatering encounter at the summit of the Premier League. There is also a look ahead

Former Liverpool manager Gerard Houllier, who won an historic treble with the Reds in 2001, has died at the age of 73. The Blood Red podcast reflects on the man who, as well as winning six trophies in his own right at Anfield, provided the platform for later success, bringing through Steven Gerrard and Jamie Carragher and modernising Liverpool FC in almost every aspect. Houllier also managed the likes of PSG and Lyon, as well as the French national team, and later worked for the Red Bull group, who owns RB Leipzig, who Liverpool drew in the Champions League this morning. The panel, with host Matt Addison joined by Kristian Walsh, Joe Rimmer and Dan Kay, also discuss that last-16 draw, and look ahead to the Premier League clash with Tottenham Hotspur on Wednesday, including picking their teams and making their score predictions.The Liverpool Echo sends a twice-daily Liverpool FC bulletin out via email with the all latest news, views and analysis from Anfield.

For Liverpool on the pitch, 2020 has been brilliant, as the club ended their elusive wait for a Premier League title.

After Wolves were comfortably beaten by Liverpool on Sunday night, the Analysing Anfield podcast is back to review that game and preview the trip to Fulham next weekend. Josh Williams and David Hughes also talk Gini Wijnaldum's contract situation, and why a new deal for the Dutch midfielder is not necessarily the right thing to do for the Reds long-term. They also reflect on Roberto Firmino's upturn in form, plus look ahead to the Champions League clash with FC Midtjylland on Wednesday. Caoimhin Kelleher, Neco Williams and Curtis Jones are among those young starlets impressing for Liverpool at the moment and all three could feature in that game. After discussing that trip, talk turns to Fulham and why Scott Parker's side are probably better than you might think, with a couple of players to watch for among their ranks including André-Frank Zambo Anguissa.
