Ahead of Liverpool’s visit to Manchester City on Sunday, the Blood Red podcast discuss Thiago Alcantara, the title race and Jurgen Klopp’s selection dilemma for the big game. Following on from Diogo Jota’s hat-trick against Atalanta in the Champions League, the panel look at whether or not he will start ahead of Roberto Firmino at the Etihad. With Thiago set to miss the match and Joel Matip ready to return there are other issues Klopp has to solve, too. Join Guy Clarke, Ian Doyle and Paul Gorst for all that and more, including our team selections and match predictions. Enjoy.
