We’re joined for this World Cup preview by Charlton fan & all round football fanatic, @jamesmckinven. How will England fare? Do we even care? Which teams/players will we be keeping a close eye on & expecting big things from in Russia?

Fabinho’s a Liverpool player then. Came out of nowhere, didn’t it? No sooner were we back from Kiev than Michael Edwards was firing off emails and calls to seal a deal for the 24 year old Brazilian from Monaco for around €45m late on Monday. Listen to our discussion about Fabinho & what he can bring to Liverpool Football Club. Up the Samba Reds!

We’re in the Champions League final, Reds. Didn’t think we’d be saying that at the start of the season, did we? For our preview podcast we’ve debated the routes to the final, key areas of the pitch & the one Madrid player we’d like to be missing. We hear from a Madrid fan, get some betting tips from our resident tipster and we get excited about the prospect of number 6. What we can’t really debate is that it’s a bloody fun ride being a Liverpool fan with big Jurgy Klopp at the helm. Up the Reds! Follow us on Twitter @TheRedDebate
