Liverpool were held by West Brom at the weekend as they struggled against a Sam Allardyce side once more at Anfield. Josh Williams and David Hughes explain what went wrong for Jurgen Klopp on this occasion - and what can be done about that in the coming games. They also discuss the general state of the title race, and where Liverpool stand among the contenders at the top. How are Man City shaping up ahead of the second half of the season, and could there be a surprise challenger in the form of Manchester United or Aston Villa? Josh and David conclude with a look ahead to Newcastle United, who Liverpool face on Wednesday night, and Southampton, who the they travel to face next Monday. Ralph Hasenhuttl's side have been flying high this season, but the data suggests Liverpool could have an easier ride than perhaps many expect - especially with Jannik Vestergaard out injured. Enjoy.

Liverpool were left frustrated by Sam Allardyce's West Brom on Sunday and are also waiting to determine the extent of Joel Matip's adductor injury. Joining host Guy Clarke are Ian Doyle, Sean Bradbury and Matt Addison for the latest Blood Red podcast to talk about what Liverpool must do in January regardless of how long Matip's latest injury issue keeps him out for. With Fabinho, Rhys Williams and Nat Phillips the only central defenders currently fit for Jurgen Klopp, Michael Edwards and Co have a big decision to make in the transfer market next month, or risk jeopardising the good position the Reds find themselves in. The panel also discuss the unfair criticism levelled at 19-year-old midfielder Curtis Jones, plus Liverpool's ability to break down low-lying defensive teams, before they pick their starting XIs for Newcastle United on Wednesday, and predict the result of that game.
