This is the Blood Red Podcast from the Liverpool Echo, giving you the inside track on all the big talking points from Anfield.

Hello, Paul Wielock here and welcome to the preview podcast to look ahead to

Liverpool's Champions League last 16 first leg tie against buying Munich

at Anfield on Tuesday evening.

Now there's been a lot of talk about how this buying team is one on the wane,

but one look at their form since the turn of

November suggests otherwise Munich have won 11 of their last 13 games in all

competitions to keep their fight for glory alive on three fronts but as the

main guest of this podcast will explain, they are certainly

not without their frailties. Steve Dawson is a Liverpool fan based in Singapore where he works as a presenter

for Fox Sports Asia. One of his main roles is anchoring the station's coverage of the

Bundesliga. So we caught up with him last month for a podcast to talk in Avicators

for the Yurgenclops evolution and team of Werner's chances of arriving at Anfield in the summer.

I hope you enjoyed that, but this podcast with Steve is all about buying, the strengths,

the weaknesses, their injury problems and their under-pressure new manager.

You'll then hear from Bines midfield,

the Tiago Alkantala, who was speaking at last night's press conference

to get the forge from the Munich camp

before what is truly a meeting of two European heavyweights.

Thanks for joining me, and we'll be back after the match with the postgame podcast.
