Thiago Friday. Jota Saturday. Win at Chelsea on Sunday. What a few days it was to be a Liverpool fan. Little wonder, then, Josh Williams and David Hughes have got a lot to get stuck into in the latest episode of Analysing Anfield. They start with the signing of Thiago Alcantara, the Bayern Munich midfielder with the ‘unique skill-set’ who cannot only spot openings other players can’t, but has the technique to execute them. Basically, they believe the Spanish international’s arrival means Liverpool will now have the answer to most questions posed to them by opponents, or in their own words, ‘two Plan As’. But what about Wolves winger Diogo Jota, who swiftly followed Thiago through the Anfield doors? Is the Portuguese, who was previously identified as a transfer target by Dave and Josh in April, a back-up option to the front three? Or, on closer inspection of the data, is he actually a heir to Sadio Mane’s throne? The guys answer those questions before reviewing the mightily impressive 2-0 victory at Chelsea, f

Liverpool have signed Diogo Jota from Wolves for an initial fee of £41m, with the forward potentially to make his Reds debut on Thursday night. To get the lowdown on the Portugal international, Blood Red's Matt Addison speaks to the Birmingham Mail's Alex Dicken, who covers Wolves regularly. Alex explains where Jota will fit in under Jurgen Klopp, why he could one day be a long-term replacement for either Sadio Mane or Roberto Firmino, and how he compares to Adama Traore. There is also an interesting comparison made to former Liverpool striker Luis Suarez, though Jota will have to considerably increase his consistency to reach anything like the Uruguayan's level! The chat concludes with a discussion about Ki-Jana Hoever, the Dutch youngster who moved to Wolves from Liverpool for a fee that could rise to as much as £13.5m, in a separate transfer deal.

We recorded the latest edition of the View from the Kop Liverpool FC fans' podcast on Tuesday alongside our special guest, singer-songwriter, and Reds supporter, Ben Burke, to help promote his brilliant new single, ‘The Life I Left Behind’.

Ahead of Liverpool’s massive early-season match at Chelsea, the Analysing Anfield podcast assesses the defensive problems that seemed to blight their 4-3 win at home to Leeds United. Were the defending Premier League champions that bad at the back in their opening game? Or, digging deep into the underlying statistics, is that too simplistic a point of view? Josh Williams and David Hughes are on hand to answer those questions plus whether the one mistake Liverpool definitely made at the weekend – that led to Leeds’ second equaliser – will actually benefit Virgil van Dijk in the long run. Our hosts also look at Alisson’s performance before turning their attention to the hat-trick hero, Mohamed Salah, who will go up against his former club this weekend. The spotlight is therefore shone on Chelsea’s match at Brighton with particular focus on the displays of new boys Kai Havertz and Timo Werner, who was strongly linked with Liverpool before moving to Stamford Bridge. Chelsea may have won 3-1 but some old habits di

Liverpool head to Stamford Bridge on Sunday, but will Chelsea be with, or without, Timo Werner after he picked up a dead leg in their 3-1 win over Brighton & Hove Albion on Monday night? Could Liverpool yet make a move for Bayern Munich's Thiago Alcantara? And is Kylian Mbappe a genuine possibility for the Reds next summer - and how could a deal come about? Plus we look into reports suggesting Divock Origi could be set to leave Anfield, and what about the search for a new defender as Sampdoria's Omar Colley comes onto the radar?

Frank Lampard has appeared to take a jab at Liverpool's transfer policy by making a claim about Jurgen Klopp's comments on Chelsea. But was the Chelsea boss right about Liverpool's spending? And was Klopp correct in making his comments in the first place? Paul Gorst and Connor Dunn join Matt Addison to discuss just that on the latest Blood Red podcast. Also on the agenda is the 4-3 win over Leeds United, with a discussion about the sensational Mohamed Salah and suspect Liverpool backline. How much of a concern should the defensive errors be? Even Virgil van Dijk was making mistakes... Also, the panel look at transfers, with the Reds having three weeks to sign players. Ben White is one who they like, and he will be playing for Brighton tonight against Chelsea, for whom former target Timo Werner, plus plenty of other new arrivals, will be on show.The Liverpool Echo sends a twice-daily Liverpool FC bulletin out via email with the all latest news, views and analysis from Anfield.

Liverpool kick off the defence of the title they won in magnificent fashion last season when they welcome newly-promoted Leeds United to Anfield later on today. And to get the lowdown on the Championship winners Paul Wheelock speaks to Beren Cross, who covers the club for the LeedsLive website. He gives a fascinating insight into Marcelo Bielsa, the enigmatic and highly-respected manager who, in the space of two seasons, has completely transformed Leeds’ fortunes, and awoken one of English football’s true sleeping giants. Beren also tells Blood Red about Bielsa’s big-money summer signings, who could make their debuts at Anfield this evening, and about the player who got away, Brighton centre-back Ben White, who also has his admirers at Liverpool.
