Rival Recon returns as we gear up for the Red’s weekend clash with Tottenham Hotspur. After Liverpool recorded their fourth consecutive 3-1 win with their victory over Leicester on Wednesday night, Klopp will be hoping his side are able to further illustrate their title credentials this weekend as they take on a reinvigorated Spurs.
In this episode, Hari is joined by Head of Tifo Football’s Illustrated Channel, Seb Stafford Bloor, to delve into the positive start to Tottenham's season under Ange Postecoglou. They cover Kane’s departure, new arrivals and the impact the new manager has had through his empathetic approach, with players + fans alike reinvesting in the Tottenham Hotspur project after a few miserable years under Mourinho and a wantaway Conte.
With both sets of fanbases coming into the game full of optimism and both teams in great form, Sunday’s clash promises to be a lively affair.
Jim Boardman and Jay Reid are back to discuss yet more 3-1 wins as the Reds won their fourth game in a row by that scoreline. That game, against Leicester, followed the win over West Ham a few days before, the only one of the four where Klopp’s side didn’t need to come from a game behind.
On this week’s show:
Two home wins - West Ham and Leicester
Who does Dominik Szoboszlai remind us of?
Local lad Curtis Jones right-back and captain for the night - at home
Do we know our best midfield three - and is Jones in it?
Can we save money on defensive cover by allowing Quansah more game time?
New investment at the club - but nothing like the way it was billed almost a year ago
A look ahead to the trip to Tottenham - is this ‘new Spurs’ really that new?
Europa League’s return including the Mac Allister show

On the latest Molby On The Spot, Trev Downey and Liverpool legend Jan Molby discuss the wins over West Ham and Leicester. Jan gives his verdict on the performances and main talking points and there is a particular focus on Alexis Mac Allister, Curtis Jones, Joe Gomez and Darwin Nunez. Dominic Szoboszlai becomes the focus of a great chat about technique and ball striking and, as it's a topic close to the show's heart, there's some chat about penalty taking and Mo Salah. The lads talk about the positivity and optimism building around Jürgen Klopp's team and try to analyse the man reasons for it. As ever, the focus of the last third of the show is the games to come and Jan tells Trev why he is so excited by the Tottenham match on Saturday and why he expects Liverpool to beat both them and Union Saint Gilloise. Finally, there's a natter about FSG selling a minority stake in the club to Destiny Equity. Get your ears around this one!!
Dave looks at the game from last night as the reds beat new-look Leicester 3-1 after another strange first half, but Klopp's men stepped up in the second and took charge of the game. The draw for the next round was also made as Liverpool travel to the south coast to take-on Bournemouth at the end of October.Â
On this League Cup edition of Post Match Raw Guy is in his usual hosting chair and is joined by cup run hero Steven, and RAW regular Dave Hendrick to discuss the win over Leicester in the League Cup. The trio go through the game in usual detail as the reds took a little while to get going with the Championship side taking the lead early on, but Klopp's men rallied and of course won 3-1 which they are now contractually obliged to do.Â

Dave takes a stab at predicting Liverpool's team for tonight's League Cup clash with Leicester and then takes a stroll down memory lane to look at the Reds history with this competition. The 13 seasons that have ended with Liverpool in the final are looked at, with particular focus on the nine times Liverpool have claimed the trophy.
On this episode of AEye Scouted Dave and Karl look at a variety of topics, with tonight's game against Leicester sparking discussion of rotation and who needs to impress. The pair discussing the young players that should get a platform to shine, with Doak and Bajcetic hopefully building on from their European appearances last week. They also look at Liverpool's academy as the once famed youth factory has seemingly fallen behind competitors with Man City and Chelsea in recent years developing and promoting prospects, are selling talent at outrageous prices. They also discuss some players in the squad that have started the season well and have made bigger impacts than first thought ahead of the season, or some that have developed after a promising season previously.Â
