Jurgen Klopp and Diogo Jota have been speaking with the media ahead of Liverpool's second Champions League group game out in Porto.

Liverpool have quickly got to put the frustration of dropping two points in the Premier League on Saturday behind them because on Tuesday they travel to Porto for their second match in Group B of the Champions League. The Reds got off to the perfect start when they beat AC Milan 3-2 at Anfield two weeks ago. And they’ll be confident of making it six points from six given they’ve had Porto’s number in recent years. However, the Portuguese side did earn an excellent 0-0 draw at Atletico Madrid on matchday one, and like Liverpool, they’ve made an unbeaten start to the season. So to learn more about Porto, Paul Wheelock picks up the phone to Portuguese football expert Alex Goncalves (follow him on Twitter @Aljeeves). They talk Diogo Jota, who will be facing his former club on Tuesday, as well as Marko Grujic, who will be doing the same, plus two midfielders Liverpool were linked with in the summer, and the star forward who came close to joining Everton.Get exclusive podcasts direct to your inbox every week for FREE by joining the Blood Red Club.

Mohamed Salah struck his 100th Premier League goal for the Reds, who despite leading twice in the second half, were held to a 3-3 draw away to Brentford. It was the hosts who opened the scoring through Ethan Pinnock before Diogo Jota equalised. Both Salah and Curtis Jones then put the Reds ahead in the second half, only for the Bees to deliver a late sting. Join Guy Clarke for reaction from the ECHO's Liverpool correspondent Paul Gorst, Jurgen Klopp's press conference as well as Simon Donnelly, Mike Holt and Steve Dawson.

With Liverpool marching on in the Premier League and the Carabao Cup, Josh Williams and David Hughes return with the latest Analysing Anfield podcast. Delving deep into the 3-0 win at home to Crystal Palace that kept the Reds level at the top of the league, and touching on the 3-0 win away to Norwich City that booked their place in the fourth round of the cup, our hosts pull out some very encouraging underlying numbers. They also focus on the form of Kostas Tsimikas, and the one area of his game where he could be an actual improvement on Andy Robertson, as well as set-pieces and why all the talk over signing another striker in the summer may have been misplaced. They then look ahead to this Saturday’s trip to Brentford, whose numbers, approach and recruitment could well make it a more difficult match for Liverpool than most would expect. And there’s also a quick preview of next Tuesday’s Champions League clash at Porto.Get exclusive podcasts direct to your inbox every week for FREE by joining the Blood Red Club.

Red Bull Salzburg forward Karim Adeyemi, now a senior Germany international, has been linked with a €30m (£26m) move to Liverpool of late, after a scintillating start to the season. So for the latest Blood Red Club exclusive, Matt Addison is joined by freelance football writer Ben Bocsak, who has spoken with Adeyemi's youth coaches and followed his career closely, and then Tom Middler from The Other Bundesliga podcast, who has seen him play regularly since he emerged onto the scene in Austria, to explore whether the 19-year-old would suit the Reds. Jurgen Klopp, certainly, could be a big lure for the Germany youngster. But Adeyemi's former club, Bayern Munich, are thought to be keen, while Barcelona are also among the competition for his signature. One thing is clear after Adeyemi tormented Sevilla in the Champions League last week: he's one to watch for the future. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
