Hello everybody and welcome to your Monday edition of the Blood Red podcast, brought to you by the Liverpool Echo.

I'm your host, Theo Squires, and yes, I have had to just check whether it is actually Monday as we navigate this always confusing week between Christmas and New Year. If you celebrate, I hope you've had a very merry Christmas. No doubt it was aided by Liverpool extending their unbeaten run to seven games to move back into the top four. joining me today to look back over that victory over walls.

We've got our love pool correspondent, both home and away, Paul Gorse. on beating run to seven games to move back into the top four. Joining me today to look back over that victory over walls,
