Blood Red: The Liverpool FC Podcast

Liverpool have seven games to get themselves back into next season's Champions League tournament - and it all begins with a trip to Elland Road. So Matt Addison is joined by Leeds Live's Leeds United reporter Joe Donnohue to get the inside track on Marcelo Bielsa's side ahead of the Premier League clash. Who are the players to watch out for? Would Raphinha fit the bill as a possible summer transfer target for Jurgen Klopp? And are comparisons between the Brazilian and Mohamed Salah fair? We also get the insight on Patrick Bamford, Kalvin Phillips and Illan Meslier, another trio of crucial stars that Liverpool will have to keep tabs on as Leeds seek to build on their 2-1 win away at Manchester City last weekend. Enjoy.

Liverpool might be out of the Champions League but they still have plenty to play for this season, starting with Leeds United on Monday night. So on the latest Analysing Anfield podcast, Josh Williams and David Hughes assess what went wrong in the Real Madrid second leg at Anfield, including pondering how Liverpool can fix Sadio Mane's form, before they give insight into what to expect from Marcelo Bielsa’s side. Our hosts talk through the threat of Leeds forward Raphinha, who has been linked with a transfer move to Liverpool as a possible Mohamed Salah successor, and why the Brazilian would be a good fit under Jurgen Klopp, as well as taking a wider look at whether a squad rebuild is needed sooner rather than later after what so far has been a difficult campaign.

With just one season more at the Ligue 1 side on his contract, Europe's top clubs will be on alert, with Liverpool, Real Madrid and Manchester United among those to be credited with an interest in him. But what kind of player is Camavinga - who does not turn 19 until October - and would he be a good addition for Liverpool to make, not least as they try to replace Gini Wijnaldum? Matt Addison speaks to French football expert Tom Williams and tactics writer Josh Williams to get the lowdown on the teenage prodigy. Enjoy.
