Trev Downey’s latest guest on The Interview is the former Scottish international and double league winner, John Wark. An outrageously prolific goalscoring midfielder, Wark was at Liverpool from 1984 to 1988 and in this first instalment of the two-part episode, Trev speaks to John about his early days in Glasgow and his rapid rise through the ranks at Bobby Robson’s incredibly successful Ipswich Town in the late 70s and very early 80s. This incredible form sealed John’s move to Anfield and Trev quizzes him on the mechanics of the transfer, his very peculiar medical and his early days at LFC.

On this episode of Molby On The Spot, Trev Downey is back to put the questions to Jan Molby after Liverpool’s comfortable away win at Southampton. Apart from the usual review of the individual performances and the outstanding incidents, the lads discuss the importance of communication on the park, the capacity some players have to defy your expectations and the group dynamic Jürgen Klopp is building at Anfield. Jan is on particularly fine form with many relevant anecdotes and examples from his days as a player and manager.
Daniel Rhodes and Paul Dalglish go over the 2-0 away win at St Mary's against Southampton. Topics include: the selection in midfield and opting for Matip over Lovren; the crucial early goal; the lack of high pressing, and Tadic linking with Bertrand on the left; Saints' big chances from diagonal balls causing problems for Robertson; the confidence of Karius; unlocking a defence with world-class combinations; Saints going two up front followed by Liverpool creating three or four quality chances. Finally, how does Paul think we'll do in Porto in the first leg of the Champions League last sixteen.
On tonight’s Post Match RAW, Host Trev Downey is joined by Dave Hendrick and Hari Sethi for RAW, as the trio reflect on Southampton 0 Liverpool 2. This was a thoroughly business-like and efficient three points earned by Jürgen Klopp’s men, from the clean sheet kept by Loris Karius to the pair of delightful strikes by the team’s goal machines, Mo Salah and Roberto Firmino. The lads look at the individual performances, analyse the game-plan and assess the opposition, on an evening which sees The Reds climb to 3rd, only two points off 2nd.
On this week's Media Matters, Sachin Nakrani is joined by Pedro Cunha, chief editor at Maisfutebol, to look ahead to Liverpool's Champions League last-16 first leg tie at Porto on Wednesday. Pedro, who is based in Porto and has covered the club since 2006, gives the lowdown on the team currently riding high at the top of Portugal's Primeira Liga - how they've improved under the management of Sergio Conceicao, who their key players are and how he expects they will line-up and play against Liverpool. Pedro also gives his take on the state of Portuguese football in general as well as on how Jose Mourinho and Cristiano Ronaldo are viewed in their homeland.
