Hello and

Welcome it's Christmas is done for another year but the new year is around the corner

and we're here to look ahead to Liverpool's latest

the football never sleeps at this time of year

joining me Neil Jones to talk about the next two games with Liverpool,

plus a little bit of Virgil Van Dyke and a little bit of Ream Brewster as well,

I think along the way, will be our full-time Liverpool correspondent both home and away

James Pierce from home from his sick bed James you okay? Battling on you

battling on you're an absolute trooper he's a if you do fantasy football this weekend

James is rated as an orange he's a slight doubt for the weekend but we expect him to

I'm feel tomorrow. I'm not sure I actually want to sit beside them to be

Andy. That is Andy Kelly our Liverpool editor as well. How are you

Andy? Are you a little bit better than

James? If I end up in a coughing fit, I apologize in advance.

Well there you go. That's it. Well, to be fair, it adds to the mystique of the podcast, doesn't it?

It brings what Brendan Rogers might call character

James, I'll start with you.

You have been down at Melwood this afternoon

to hear from Yegan Clop.
