THE ATHLETIC
About this episode

James Pearce and Simon Hughes are alongside Tony Evans following the Reds 2-2 draw at Old Trafford to react to the impact it could have on Liverpool's Premier League title aspirations.

With Jurgen Klopp's side having been so wasteful in front of goal there's positive news with the imminent return to fitness of Diogo Jota, so could he fire the Reds to the title? The panel also discuss Mohamed Salah's recent form before delving into the future of the 'Egyptian King' as he heads into the final 12 months of his contract this summer.

Plus there's a look ahead to what's to come this week as Atalanta visit Anfield in the Europa League quarter-final first leg, before Crystal Palace make the trip in the Premier League on Sunday.

Host: Tony Evans

With: James Pearce and Simon Hughes
