Blood Red: The biggest factor in Liverpool overhauling Manchester United – and why Jose Mourinho’s words won’t wash

One topic dominates the latest Blood Red podcast. Recorded early to allow the ECHO sportsdesk to hit the town for their Christmas do, one topic dominates. No, it’s not our favourite Christmas songs, although that does get a mention at the start; it is, of course, the visit of Manchester United to Anfield on Sunday. Table-topping Liverpool will be favourites after their record-breaking, unbeaten start to the Premier League season. But the Reds do have major injury concerns in defence and, with the news that Trent Alexander-Arnold has joined Joe Gomez and Joel Matip on the sidelines, James Pearce, Connor Dunn, Theo Squires and host Joe Rimmer discuss how the back four will line-up against United, and whether Jurgen Klopp needs to make a Steven Caulker-style addition in January. The lads also discus Jose Mourinho’s latest dig at his opposite number and why his words just won’t wash. Mourinho does, of course, have history of spoiling Liverpool’s party and United are unbeaten in the last eight league meetings between the sides. But there is no doubt the balance of power between the eternal rivals has shifted and James provides what he believes is the biggest reason why. The panel’s favourite victories over United are then recalled before predictions and preferred line-ups are revealed. Enjoy.
