MAC ALLISTER'S NUMBERS ARE SCARY! Liverpool Have a Decision to Make
Dave Davis and Michael Reid return with Numbers Don't Lie, putting the statistics behind Liverpool's season under the microscope.
This time, Alexis Mac Allister takes centre stage. After questions surrounding his future and his disappointment at not receiving a new contract, the Argentine appears to be delivering his response on the pitch.
Michael breaks down a remarkable improvement in Mac Allister's numbers. His line-breaking passing has surged, he's progressing Liverpool through midfield with greater regularity and his defensive output has also improved. Even more impressively, Mac Allister is attempting more ambitious passes while becoming more accurate, not less.
His performance against Bournemouth demonstrated exactly why the numbers matter. Seven recoveries, four clearances, two tackles, 14 passes into the final third and 19 line-breaking passes showed a midfielder influencing virtually every phase of the game.
With Gravenberch and Szoboszlai already receiving new deals, has Mac Allister now given Liverpool and Julian Ward something serious to think about?
Dave and Michael also discuss Liverpool's international break, injuries to Alexander Isak and Cody Gakpo, and why losing Gakpo could prove particularly damaging ahead of Manchester City.

WHAT'S HAPPENED TO KERKEZ?! The Numbers Tell the Story
Numbers Don't Lie returns as Dave Davis and Michael Reid put Liverpool's performances under the statistical microscope.
This time, Milos Kerkez becomes the major talking point. Andoni Iraola knows exactly what the Hungarian can produce after their time together at Bournemouth, but are Liverpool finally beginning to see that player?
Michael breaks down a fascinating statistical picture. Kerkez is playing more progressively, making significantly more overlapping and underlapping runs and becoming increasingly involved in Liverpool's attacking build-up. Yet not every number is heading in the right direction, leaving questions over whether Iraola has truly unlocked his first-choice left-back.
Attention then turns to Trey Nyoni. At just 19, the midfielder's passing ability has Dave and Michael excited about his potential role in Iraola's double pivot. Rather than sending him on loan, Liverpool have kept Nyoni around the first team, and a potential opportunity against Tottenham could push him further into the manager's thinking.
The pair also examine where Liverpool can improve in possession before reflecting on the Manchester City case and just how extraordinary Jürgen Klopp's great Liverpool sides were statistically, regardless of the trophies ultimately won.

REAL MADRID WANT VAN DIJK?! Liverpool Must Act
Dave Davis turns his attention towards some enormous decisions awaiting Liverpool and returning sporting director Julian Ward.
At the top of the agenda is Virgil van Dijk. With the Liverpool captain's contract approaching its conclusion, reports referenced in the show link Real Madrid, Milan, Inter Miami and Galatasaray with a potential Bosman move. Dave makes the case for Liverpool acting decisively and extending Van Dijk's stay, arguing that his quality and leadership remain invaluable to the club's emerging generation of centre-backs.
There are recruitment questions elsewhere. Liverpool are linked with Stuttgart's young centre-back Finn Jeltsch, although Dave questions the need for another young defender given the talent already available. Crystal Palace left-back Tyrick Mitchell is another name discussed, with a free transfer potentially making considerably more sense than an expensive January deal.
Midfield could provide the biggest intrigue. Lamine Camara is described as a plausible Liverpool target and potentially one to watch for January, while Dave discusses Lewis Steele's expectation that Alexis Mac Allister may not be offered a new contract. That creates a fascinating question over Liverpool's longer-term midfield plans.

Man City Guilty! Is This The Biggest Scandal In Football History?
Dave examines the independent commission's findings, including the extraordinary language surrounding City's commercial arrangements, financial reporting and evidence provided during the case. Attention then turns towards City's response, the prospect of further legal action and why this saga could continue for some time.
From a Liverpool perspective, Dave considers the potential consequences of City's actions and reflects on the extraordinary battles Jürgen Klopp's Liverpool endured against Pep Guardiola's side. Then comes the question everyone wants answered: what happens to Manchester City now?
Could the punishment involve an enormous points deduction, relegation, expulsion, financial penalties or consequences surrounding previous trophies?
There's also plenty of Liverpool international news, with Jeremy Jacquet's impressive France breakthrough, Rio Ngumoha making his competitive England debut and Trey Nyoni continuing to impress at youth international level.

Liverpool's Big Problem: Are We Shopping In The Wrong Market?
Dave Davis and Lewis Steele close out Media Matters by tackling one of the biggest questions surrounding Andoni Iraola's Liverpool: does the head coach actually know his strongest XI yet?
Injuries to Cody Gakpo and Alexander Isak have created uncertainty ahead of Liverpool's next fixtures, leaving Iraola potentially considering Bradley Barcola through the middle, Lewis Koumas or even a false-nine solution.
Lewis believes Liverpool's defensive picture is becoming clearer, but midfield and attack remain far less settled. Competition for places is healthy, although the coming weeks now provide an opportunity for individual players to establish themselves and give Iraola some definitive answers.
Attention then turns towards Liverpool's ceiling this season. Lewis believes challenging for the Premier League title remains possible, although winning it may still represent a step too far. With Liverpool six points behind Manchester City at the point discussed in the transcript, the upcoming meeting with City could significantly change that picture.
City, Brentford, Brighton, Chelsea, Arsenal and Crystal Palace form a demanding sequence before the next international break. Liverpool's response could tell us considerably more about just how far Iraola's new side can go

COULD LIVERPOOL SUE MAN CITY?! Lewis Steele on City's Guilty Verdict
Dave Davis is joined by Lewis Steele for a packed edition of Media Matters, with the fallout from Manchester City's financial case dominating the agenda.
Lewis reacts to the extraordinary developments surrounding City and considers what could happen next as the dispute moves towards appeals and potentially years of further legal action. With Liverpool among four clubs said in the transcript to have previously reserved their right to seek compensation, Dave and Lewis discuss how difficult it could be to calculate the financial and sporting consequences of City's breaches.
Could Liverpool argue that City's actions cost them Premier League titles and other trophies? What happens to the legacy of Jürgen Klopp's great Liverpool side? And how can the authorities possibly determine the impact across clubs that missed out on trophies, European qualification and prize money?
There's also important Liverpool news from the international break. Jeremy Jacquet earns praise following an impressive France debut, while injuries to Alexander Isak and Cody Gakpo create major concerns ahead of the upcoming Manchester City clash. Lewis assesses their chances of returning and provides an update on Giovanni Leoni's recovery.

TCHOUAMÉNI IS THE ONE?! FSG TRANSFER STRATEGY EXPOSED | Liverpool FC Latest Transfer News
Dave Davis continues Newsround with Liverpool's transfer plans moving firmly into focus following Julian Ward's return as sporting director.
Centre-back is one position generating plenty of discussion. Nico Schlotterbeck continues to be linked with Liverpool, although his status as a left-footed defender raises an obvious question about what any move could mean for Virgil van Dijk. Former Bournemouth defender Illia Zabarnyi is another name reportedly being monitored, with his limited opportunities at PSG potentially putting his future back on the agenda.
Attention then turns to midfield and one familiar dream target, Aurélien Tchouaméni. Dave explains why the Real Madrid midfielder would be an outstanding Liverpool signing, while acknowledging that his recently extended contract makes a deal extremely difficult.
A considerably more realistic option could be Lamine Camara. His Monaco numbers jump off the page, including a league-leading 46 possessions won and 26 tackles, and Dave believes the midfielder feels like an obvious candidate for Liverpool if they decide to act in January.
There's also Yankuba Minteh, with reports suggesting Liverpool retain an interest despite previously seeing bids rejected. Dave assesses why the winger's age, pace, defensive work and overall profile remain attractive, while explaining why a move would probably require an existing attacker to leave first.

JACQUET'S RISE TO FAME! | Liverpool Fans Can't Get Enough
Dave Davis is back with another Newsround, bringing all the latest Liverpool news from the international break.
The spotlight falls on Jeremy Jacquet after a superb senior France debut. The Liverpool defender completed the full match in a clean-sheet victory over Belgium, winning four tackles, six duels and completing ten passes into the opposition's final third. Dave digs into the numbers and explains why Liverpool could have an exceptional defensive talent on their hands.
There is also an intriguing comparison with Ibrahima Konaté, Dean Huijsen and Marcos Senesi. Jacquet's early progressive passing numbers are particularly striking, suggesting Andoni Iraola has inherited a centre-back capable of giving Liverpool another dimension when building from defence.
Elsewhere, there is less encouraging news surrounding Cody Gakpo. The Dutch forward has withdrawn from international duty with an ankle problem and reports suggest he could miss several weeks, putting his involvement against Manchester City in serious doubt.
Dave also discusses Liverpool's heavy international workload, Bradley Barcola's France performance and Julian Ward officially returning to work, with contracts and midfield recruitment already providing plenty for Liverpool's sporting director to address.
