Michael Edwards is returning to Liverpool having been appointed by FSG as CEO of Football as part of the club's restructuring as they prepare for life after Jurgen Klopp.

Join Tony Evans, James Pearce and Simon Hughes as they debate and discuss the appointment with the former sporting director returning in a more senior, overarching role within FSG's ownership structure with Bournemouth technical director Richard Hughes set to join in the sporting director role vacated by Jorg Schmadtke.

As well as the off-pitch news, the panel also touch on the significance of Sunday's 1-1 draw at Anfield with Man City before looking ahead to this week's action with Sparta Prague heading to Anfield on Thursday before the visit to Old Trafford this weekend to take on Manchester United in the FA Cup Sixth Round.
