Summary

Weeks don't come much bigger, but Liverpool's has started with one piece of team news that was expected, and another which was most definitely not.Recorded just after the open training session ahead of the Champions League clash with Bayern Munich, the Blood Red panel of James Pearce, Paul Gorst and host Ian Doyle react to the fact that Dejan Lovren has been ruled out and Roberto Firmino is a doubt.But who will Liverpool miss more?You would think Lovren, given it leaves the Reds with just one fit and available centre-back in Joel Matip, with Virgil van Dijk suspended.But does Jurgen Klopp have a like-for-like replacement for Firmino?Our trio discuss that before they talk just what this match means for the Liverpool manager given his heritage and given his past battles with Munich.James was in Germany on Friday to watch Bayern and his scouting report will do little to alter the belief that the Reds will be favourites in front of their own fans.And, while Klopp may suggest otherwise publicly, why shouldn't they?Liverpool's run to last season's Champions League final means they are no longer considered a surprise package but should this season's European campaign be considered just as carefree?James, Paul and Ian answer that before giving their predictions for Klopp's starting line-up and the score on the night.Enjoy.
