This is the Behind Enemy Lines podcast on the Blood Red channel, bringing you the

inside track on Liverpool FC's next opponents.

It's Behind Enemy Lines here on the Blood Red podcast as we look ahead to

And whether or not Yertten Klop could have met his

match in Jan Piero Casperini. Joining myself Guy Clark to do all of that is

Joe Donahue from scouted football who so expertly summarized
