This is the Blood Red Podcast from the Liverpool Echo, giving you the inside track on all the big talking points from Anfield.

Hello everybody and welcome to the latest episode of analyzing Amfield.

I'm Christine Walsh and with me as always is Josh Williams.

If you're not really sure or you're a new listener to this show, what this is is a detailed statistical and analytical look at

everything that's going round Liverpool Football Club now you know the summer's

kicking on there there's a no actual football to analyze with

alons are stopping us we've've talked about transfers last week and

what we'll do this week is discuss how Liverpool has set up against the top six and

basically a bit of a progress report and a to-do list for all

of Liverpool's rivals that the reason I've decided to have a look at the top six

here and hopefully that will make for a good show is that

ultimately Liverpool's results against the top six last season is what if you want to say

cost them the the Premier League title I think that's probably harsh but the results against the top six were sort of the one weak points

you know the they didn't get the results that they needed against City or Home or Away.

They drew with Chelsea and Arsenal and Manchester and Aises away.

So, you know, these are the games that they're going to have to win.

So what we're going to do, we're going to go through all

Liverpool's rivals, top six rivals, have a look how they are set up and

basically what it all means for Liverpool.

But you know before we crack on Josh you're looking forward to this one this week.

A little bit difference obviously not necessarily all about Liverpool but we will try and keep

it as Liverpool relevance as possible.
