Summary

There's bigger things going on in the world right now but it's only human if any Liverpool fan had thought themselves that today was going to be the day they finally got to see their side be crowned league champions once again. Just tws wins away from the Premier League title, the Reds would have sealed top spot with victories over Everton last Monday and Crystal Palace this evening. But, of course, both matches were postponed by the outbreak of the coronavirus in this country and across the world. The health and well-being of your family and friends is what matters now but as Jamie Carragher wrote yesterday, football will leave a void in our lives until it returns. And that is the theme of The Agenda podcast, hosted by Paul Wheelock and featuring the Liverpool ECHO's chief LFC writer Ian Doyle. Enjoy - and we'll be back tomorrow with two podcasts.
