Join Richard Garnett and Paul Gorst on the Blood Red Podcast as they react to Liverpool’s Premier League clash with Leeds United. Liverpool began the New Year in tedious fashion as they were held to a goalless draw at home to Leeds United on Thursday evening. In a game of very few chances, the nearest the Reds came was when Florian Wirtz had a shot blocked when fed by Hugo Ekitike. The result, though, means Arne Slot's side remain in the top four and are now unbeaten in their last eight games in all competitions. Subscribe, listen, and join the discussion in the comments.

0:39.9	A very good afternoon and welcome to the Blood Red podcast and it's a very happy new year to
0:45.5	all our viewers from the Liverpool Echo here.
0:48.3	Filmed in the heart of the city centre.
0:50.1	I'm joined once again for the start of the year by Paul Ghost. Paul, how are you doing?
0:54.7	Good, yeah, yeah. Looking ahead to a brand new year. Hopefully a better second half of the season for Liverpool.
