Episode Details

Dave Davis is joined by Lewis Steele for Media Matters as Liverpool prepare for a huge return to Premier League action against Manchester City at Anfield.

The international break has brought encouragement from Florian Wirtz and Jeremy Jacquet, but also fresh concerns for Andoni Iraola. Jacquet has withdrawn from the France squad with a hamstring problem, while doubts remain over Alexander Isak and Cody Gakpo ahead of Sunday. Lewis assesses the latest fitness picture and what Jacquet's potential absence could mean for Ronald Araujo and Liverpool's defence.

Attention then turns to Manchester City following their appeal and what promises to be an extraordinary atmosphere at Anfield. Dave and Lewis discuss how long the case could continue, the wider fallout surrounding City and why Sunday's contest ultimately still comes down to three crucial Premier League points.

There's also discussion around FSG after comments from Sam Kennedy describing the Boston Red Sox as the organisation's priority, raising further questions about Liverpool's position within the ownership group and what could happen next.
