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

Hello, I'm Paul Wielock and welcome to the first Behind enemy lines podcast of the new season.

If you're a first time listener this is the podcast where we get the inside track on

Liverpool's next opponents who just so happened to be Manchester City and

Sunday's community shield at Wembley.

Now the domestic travel winners need little introduction after their titanic Premier League title

battle with the newly crowned champions of Europe.

But with the sides set to fight it out for the top honors again the season both

home and abroad we caught up with Richard Burns a city fan writer and

broadcaster who is a regular on the long-standing Blue Moon podcast we talked the

title running the growing rivalry between the clubs, and whether both teams

would shake hands now on a deal that would see Liverpool win the Premier League and Manchester

City the Champions League. We also talked City's summer transfer business, Liverpool's lack of it,

the departure of Vincent Company and possible departure of Leroy Sanne,

the return of Kevin the Breona and whether this community shield should be considered

much more than a glorified friendly.

Thanks for joining me and I hope you enjoy the podcast.
