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

Hello and welcome to the latest Blood Red Podcast in association with 45, the new free-to-play score prediction game from the pools.

Simply predict five correct match scores and you could win up to 25 grand and even

if you suffer a near miss and get four match scores correct there's still up to

2,000 pounds to be won.

To play 45 this weekend visit the pools.com and remember you need to be in the UK and

over 18 to play. Right today there is only three of us we are the fab three. I'm Joe Rimmer taking on the
