Summary

The Premier League title race could hardly be any closer as Liverpool prepare to host Manchester United at Anfield. Joining host Dan Morgan is Liverpool.com's Ollie Connelly, plus Matt Addison and Kai Delaney from Blood Red, as they preview the match and where the game could be won and lost. Bruno Fernandes is one player for Liverpool to keep tabs on, so how might they go about that? Well, Roberto Firmino could be key. So too could a change in formation as Liverpool attempt to regain some creativity which has been missing in recent weeks, with Xherdan Shaqiri's re-emergence perhaps coming at a timely moment. The panel take a look at the match, plus the wider title race, giving their verdict on how things are shaping up around 17 matches into the 2020/21 campaign.Like our podcasts and videos?

It feels like we've been building up to this game bigger than the Champions League.

To be honest, it's been one of those whereby it has seemingly become all manner of importance to everything that will be related over the last week of

It's becoming part of our, I guess, our existential anxiety is looking at the table now.
