Summary

The Premier League has announced that teams can now name nine substitutes on the bench and bring five players on during matches – and that could be good news for Liverpool. The Liverpool ECHO’s LFC correspondent Paul Gorst joins Matt Addison to explain why – with the likes of Curtis Jones, Harvey Elliott and Neco Williams among those set to benefit the most. Another player who could get more minutes because of the rule change is veteran midfielder James Milner, who signed for the Reds exactly five years ago today from rivals Manchester City. So Matt and Paul discuss what must go down as Liverpool’s best-ever free transfer. Sorry Gary McAllister!The Liverpool Echo sends a twice-daily Liverpool FC bulletin out via email with the all latest news, views and analysis from Anfield.

This is the Agenda Podcast on the Blood Red channel, taking a bite-size look at some of the big

0:08.3

Liverpool FC talking points.

0:12.1

Hello and welcome to the latest Agenda Podcast with the points. the Premier League meeting took place between all the antique clubs as project we started and we were

0:24.8

forward. We knew from last week Paul that matches would begin on June the

0:28.7

17th, the country of the city playing Arsenal on that Wednesday night.

0:32.6

Then Liverpool playing Everton the following weekend,

0:35.2

but there's been a little bit more of an update to come for this afternoon.

0:38.4

First of all, just talk us through the latest announcement from the Premier League. Yes, so the Premier League has been carrying on the video link meetings and Liverpool

0:48.0

are being great clubs or teams can now have nine on the bench with

the seven subs sorry five subs so hopefully that will give an opportunity to

1:41.4

with nine on the bench, now to choose from and from a

1:48.2

a chance to show you in Glop what they can do ahead of next season we know that

1:52.0

once that Premier League title is wrapped up which we expected to be
