THE ATHLETIC
About this episode

Andy Jones and James Pearce join Tony Evans to discuss the return of the Premier League and their concerns over squad depth and selection headaches. Are Liverpool one injury away from crisis?


The panel examine Liverpool’s wafer-thin defensive cover, debate whether a January move for reinforcements is now unavoidable, and consider the consequences of standing still in the transfer market.


There’s also discussion around Liverpool’s attacking identity, the return of Mohamed Salah and a preview of Burnley on Saturday — a fixture that suddenly feels like a must-win!
