This podcast is sponsored by Now, where you can stream Sky Sport and watch 215 Premier League matches up from 128 last season.

Big things are expected from the reigning Premier League champions this season, making every game a must watch,

and you can stream SkySport on now and catch more of the action than ever.

Whether you're one of those fans who watches the veds nervously from behind the sofa,

someone who bounces around the living room when a goal goes in, or a supporter who likes to invite friends around for the big game.

However you're watching, now has you covered.

Sky Sports is going up from 128 to at least 215 live Premier League matches this season.

That's more matches, more drama and way more of the action that matters.

And the best bit, you can watch even more Liverpool games this season with now.

Stream Sky Sports flexibly on now so you're not tied down.

Just stream what you want, when you want.

I, for one, will be glued to all four of Liverpool's opening Premier League games,

all of which will be shown live on SkySport.

Let's hope the boys go four out of four and really get their title defence off to a flyer.

Live scheduling may be subject to change. Full time supply. Hello everyone, it is the build-up show. We are back. Liverpool are taken on Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park 3 o'clock on a Saturday for all new purists out there. Which for the best of those people who can't get a ticket like us means we've got to find some horrendous dodgy stream which always bodes well. Chris Pager, hi, you join me for this one. I do. John Machen does and Stee Hoar as well. Gentlemen, welcome. Hello. Chris, mission top of Christmas begins here. We've got this thing where Liverpool are the only team to be able to be top of Christmas and not win the league and we've done it three times.

Oh, three?

I think it's three.

But you've got to be top of Christmas to win the league.

So, yeah, this is what it's all right.
