Jim Boardman and Jay Reid are back with what’s left of their voices to talk about another memorable 4-3 win for Liverpool, recorded 24 hours after the Reds beat Fulham at Anfield to end the weekend second in the table. Trent’s new boots connected with the winner and the Kop went wild, with Jay and Jim in it. At this time of the season the games just keep coming and that means a midweek trip to South Yorkshire next for the game against bottom club Sheffield United - but can Liverpool afford to think for even one minute that the job’s already done? There’s at least one fairly recent game that should tell them no.

Rival Recon returns following Liverpool’s dramatic late win against Fulham preserves their perfect record at home this season and kept the Reds breathing down the neck of league leaders Arsenal. Given the congested festive fixture list, results are the most important thing & Klopp will be keen that his side maintain their momentum & secure another valuable 3 points when they take on struggling Sheffield Utd this Wednesday evening. The Reds may have to contend with a new manager bounce however, after the Blades sacked manager Paul Heckingbottom, with Chris Wilder rumoured for a return to his former club. Joining Hari on the pod this week to share his insight on a difficult return to life in the Premier League & what the future may hold for Sheffield Utd, we welcome on co-host of The Sheffield Utd Way YouTube channel, Alex Stewart aka @HalTheBlade
