The Athletic's Simon Hughes and Caoimhe O'Neill join Steve Hothersall to reflect on a difficult few games for Liverpool. They debate why the team is struggling to score goals over the last three games; and the reasons behind a dip in form for key players.

Should fans bet concerned about Manchester City after their win at Chelsea? Do we expect them to close the gap further?

They also discuss Gini Wijnaldum's future. How likely is it that he'll leave? And how much would he be missed? 

And James Pearce joins the show to discuss whether Liverpool will be making any moves of their own during the January transfer window.
