As Liverpool gear up for a huge week in their season, join Connor Dunn, Paul Gorst, Dan Kay and Matt Addison as they take a look back at Chelsea, and more importantly, look ahead to Bournemouth and Atletico Madrid as the Reds look to take another step towards the Premier League title and progress in the Champions League too. The panel react to the news that Alisson Becker is set to be out injured for a period, with Adrian having to deputise once again, and select their teams for the upcoming game this weekend. Mohamed Salah and Roberto Firmino missed out on starting at Stamford Bridge and are both expected to come back into the side, but who else should start? Fabinho's form has been patchy but all four contributors are in agreement on him, before score predictions are made. Enjoy! For information regarding your data privacy, visit acast.com/privacy

Jurgen Klopp has confirmed Alisson Becker will miss both Bournemouth and Atletico Madrid's visits to Anfield having sustained a hip injury. The Brazilian is to miss both games having sat out against Chelsea in the FA Cup as a precaution. Klopp was also asked about the fitness of captain Jordan Henderson who he expects to have available for the Champions League tie with Atletico Madrid, having picked up an injury in the reverse game at the Wanda Metropolitano. Klopp also spoke about the threats of Bournemouth for the Saturday's Premier League game, the impact of three defeats in four games, the winter break and the coronavirus.

After being knocked out of the FA Cup by Chelsea, Liverpool's Premier League campaign gets back underway on Saturday as they look to return to winning ways and take a step closer to the title with victory over Bournemouth at Anfield. Think the Reds are in bad form after losing three of their last four matches in all competitions? Bournemouth supporters might not particularly agree - their side have won just seven league games all season, and have lost their last five meetings with Liverpool by an aggregate score of 17-0. So, with all that in mind, Matt Addison speaks to Tom Crocker of the Bournemouth Echo to preview the encounter and assess where it might be won and lost. There is also the latest on both Harry Wilson, who is on loan from the Reds to the south coast side, and Jordon Ibe, the former Liverpool winger who moved to Eddie Howe's team in 2016. It's the perfect preview podcast ahead of Saturday's match. For information regarding your data privacy, visit acast.com/privacy

Sean Bradbury and Connor Dunn both look back on the recent showings following defeat to Watford, prior to the cup game with Chelsea. They discuss where things have just fallen off the high standards that had previously been set from the defensive woes to the lack of goals in recent showings.

Join Connor Dunn, Ian Doyle, Joe Rimmer and Matt Addison as they reflect on the rarest of events: a Liverpool defeat in the Premier League. It was Nigel Pearson's Watford - second-bottom in the table heading into the weekend - who ended their 44-game unbeaten streak, and the panel analyse exactly where it went wrong. Dejan Lovren was the Reds man who took most of the criticism online, but he was far from the only one who under-performed. With Liverpool to face Chelsea at Stamford Bridge in the FA Cup on Tuesday, how will the weekend's result impact that fixture? And how strong will the line-up that Jurgen Klopp selects be? All those questions, as well as the shock departure of under-23s boss Neil Critchley, are discussed and analysed in the latest Blood Red podcast. Enjoy!

Liverpool Under-23s boss Neil Critchley has left the club to take over as manager of League One outfit Blackpool. The 41-year-old has spent more than six years with the Reds and will arguably be best remembered for leading the youngest team in the club’s history to a 1-0 FA Cup win over Shrewsbury Town when Jurgen Klopp and his first-team stars were on the Premier League’s winter break. Connor Dunn and Matt Addison react to this breaking news. For information regarding your data privacy, visit acast.com/privacy

Welcome to the first Post-Game podcast since January 3, 2019 that's reacting to a Premier League defeat for Liverpool. Yes, the Reds went down fair and square, 3-0 at Watford tonight, to see their 44-match unbeaten league run come to an end. It has to be placed in context. Jurgen Klopp’s side have been nothing short of magnificent this season and it's only a matter of time before they get their hands on the title. But there’s no getting away from it – it was a very bad night at the office. And that much is underlined with the views from the pressbox, the dugout and the stands that you’re about to hear.
