Liverpool underlined why they are the Premier League champions with a superb 3-1 victory over Arsenal on Monday that came on the back of closest rivals Manchester City losing 5-2 at home to Leicester City. Man City followed that humiliating defender by signing yet another defender in the shape of the £65m Ruben Dias. But as Josh Williams and David Hughes explain on the latest Analysing Anfield podcast, Dias may not be the man to address their huge defensive concerns. Virgil van Dijk has certainly been a transformational signing for Liverpool, however, but Josh and David argue on Monday he showed why he is a problem solver in more ways than one as part of their deep dive into the win against Arsenal. Talk then turn to this weekend’s visit to Aston Villa, and their signing of former Everton midfielder Ross Barkley, and early thoughts on the title race and the buys that are being made, including City’s capture of Benfica’s Dias.

David James speaks to Matt Addison about Alisson Becker, Jurgen Klopp and his old club Liverpool's defence of the Premier League. James explains why Thiago Alcantara has made him change his mind over who will win the title this season, plus why Liverpool's goalkeeper Alisson is so good.
