Gags Tandon and Grizz Khan return with Chat G&G to preview Liverpool's explosive Premier League showdown with Manchester City at Anfield. With City found guilty of financial breaches following the Premier League's 115 charges case, tensions are running higher than ever. The lads discuss the fallout from the verdict, the hostile atmosphere awaiting Pep Guardiola's side, and how Andoni Iraola's Liverpool can make their mark in a fixture loaded with controversy, rivalry and huge significance.
Dave Davis looks at all the latest Liverpool FC news with focus on:
Super Sunday: More Burnham and City links, talk of City being deranged, Klopp's legacy affected and injury news pending.
Mora and Moliero links: £37m price tag might be halved and LFC amongst others looking at Villareal LW/
Lola Roberts and Dave Davis look at the latest on Liverpool right back target with focus on:
Big Ron and physicality change: Huge difference to LFC and modern trend for right backs.
Banjaqui: Benfica starlet, watched by most of Europe, small sample size but gifts obvious.
Quansah: Concerns as a right-back despite playing there for Leverkusen. Buy-back activation would raise concerns.
Ganiou: A star on the ball, plays CB for Lens in a three but played RB before and has attributed we could use.
Jim Boardman and Jay Reid return after a hectic few weeks - for them, not Liverpool - to dive straight into a massive stretch of football for the Reds after what felt like the longest international break in history.
It’s been so long since Liverpool’s last game, a win over Bournemouth with an Isak goal, that it’s almost like the season is starting again. International breaks aren’t all negative, despite the worries about who’s going to come back in more than one piece, and sometimes a spell with their national team can remind a player just how good they are. Florian Wirtz might have benefitted from a word or two in the ear from a familiar German manager, for example.
Next up, of course, is a big fixture that got a lot bigger during that break, and more eyes than ever will be on the game, but not all for footballing reasons. Luck would have it that Liverpool play host to Manchester City, fresh from being found by a Premier League investigation to be massive cheats (subject to appeal). Jay and Jim certainly have plenty to say about that - from whether those titles should simply be scrubbed from history, to the atmosphere waiting for City at Anfield, which should be more about helping the Reds win than on the shame the visitors should be feeling.
There’s also a look ahead to the Champions League and the midweek trip to LASK.
