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 Liverpool.com podcast. I'm your host Matt Addison. Rich Garnett is with me. We are now just a couple of days away from the Premier League, presuming. So we're going to take a look at some predictions for the upcoming campaign, some Liverpool, some non-Liverpool as well, and some a little bit of a mixture of the two.

saley.com forward slash Blood Red. Without further ado, though, Rich, let's get stuck into it.

We've got a few different categories to go through.

Top scorer will do first, and I suspect that we've probably got the same answer for this one.

Well, that depends what you've got, Matt, doesn't it?

This could go one or two ways if we're, you know, from looking it.

No, I'm not specifically looking it from a Liverpool perspective,

but obviously, Mohammed Salah is a standout candidate.

But I do think there could be a slight changing of the guard this season,

although I still expect Salah to be in the mix, especially as he normally takes

penalties, although he'll have to sort of lower his aim if he wants to start finding the net

with some of the thing based on what we saw on Sunday, memories of Charlie Adam.

But, yeah, so, I mean, Salah would be my obvious obvious choice but it could be a slightly different issue

if uh liverpool managed to complete the signing of alexander isaac um and and if if they do manage

to pull that off then i do think we're going to see a change of the

guard.
