Summary

Liverpool will definitely win the Premier League by beating Everton at Goodison Park on Sunday and then Crystal Palace at Anfield on Wednesday. That would end the club’s 30-year wait for the league title and it would be celebrated by millions of Reds fans across the world. Sadly Anfield itself won’t be able to host 50,000 of those supporters on Wednesday evening given the match has to be played behind closed doors. But fortunately some traditions will be still in place – including the official matchday programme which, if the title is wrapped up on the night, is sure to be a collector’s item. So for our latest podcast we speak to long-term Liverpool writer Chris McLoughlin, who helps produce the programme for Reach Sport, which belongs to the same company as the Liverpool ECHO. Chris tells what it’s like to work with Jordan Henderson on his captain’s notes and why the Reds skipper, along with manager Jurgen Klopp, take what they contribute to the programme so seriously. Anfield season-ticket holder Chris also reveals the players, past and present, he enjoys and enjoyed speaking to the most, as well as looking back at his time as the editor of the legendary Kop Magazine, which closed five years ago this month.
