The Reds will come up against a former Anfileld favourite at the Wanda Metropolitano on Tuesday in Luis Suarez, who is expected to spearhead the Atletico attack. But who will go down as a bigger Liverpool legend - Suarez or Salah? The panel discuss that before giving their usual team and score predictions.

Welcome to the Post-Game podcast to react to Liverpool’s thumping 5-0 win at Watford in the Premier League. It was a win that took Liverpool top of the table, extended their unbeaten league run to 18 matches, and featured a 100th Premier League goal for Sadio Mane and a hat-trick for the in-form Robero Firmino, who now has nine goals in his last 11 games for the Reds. But really it was a win dominated by Mohamed Salah, who capped a superb performance by scoring a goal that truly did take the breath away. Little wonder, then, that Salah talk dominates this podcast, which starts with the verdict of our Liverpool FC correspondent, Paul Gorst, continues with Jurgen Klopp’s press conference in full, and ends with the thoughts of three very, very happy Reds, Alex Watt, Mike Holt and Mark Baker.Get exclusive podcasts direct to your inbox every week for FREE by joining the Blood Red Club.

Top of the Premier League, top of their Champions League group, and through to the last 16 of the Carabao Cup, it’s been close to a perfect start to the season for Liverpool, going into their huge match with Manchester City at Anfield on Sunday. And it has been a squad effort, with Jurgen Klopp having used 26 players in Liverpool’s unbeaten nine-game run to start the campaign. And one player who has certainly taken his chance to shine is Kostas Tsimikas, who is already well on his way to surpassing the seven appearances he made in his debut season at Anfield. The Greece international has been excellent in the four starts he has made so far this season, proving to be a more than able deputy to Andy Robertson. So, to find out a little more about Tsimikas, the Liverpool ECHO’s Theo Squires picked up the phone to former Bolton Wanderers winger, Euro 2004 winner, and ex-Greece assistant-manager, Stelios Giannakopoulos, who also explains how close he came to becoming the first Greek player to play for Liverpool.Get exclusive podcasts direct to your inbox every week for FREE by joining the Blood Red Club.

Liverpool have quickly got to put the frustration of dropping two points in the Premier League on Saturday behind them because on Tuesday they travel to Porto for their second match in Group B of the Champions League. The Reds got off to the perfect start when they beat AC Milan 3-2 at Anfield two weeks ago. And they’ll be confident of making it six points from six given they’ve had Porto’s number in recent years. However, the Portuguese side did earn an excellent 0-0 draw at Atletico Madrid on matchday one, and like Liverpool, they’ve made an unbeaten start to the season. So to learn more about Porto, Paul Wheelock picks up the phone to Portuguese football expert Alex Goncalves (follow him on Twitter @Aljeeves). They talk Diogo Jota, who will be facing his former club on Tuesday, as well as Marko Grujic, who will be doing the same, plus two midfielders Liverpool were linked with in the summer, and the star forward who came close to joining Everton.Get exclusive podcasts direct to your inbox every week for FREE by joining the Blood Red Club.

Mohamed Salah struck his 100th Premier League goal for the Reds, who despite leading twice in the second half, were held to a 3-3 draw away to Brentford.

Both Salah and Curtis Jones then put the Reds ahead in the second half, only for the Bees to deliver a late sting.

With Liverpool marching on in the Premier League and the Carabao Cup, Josh Williams and David Hughes return with the latest Analysing Anfield podcast. Delving deep into the 3-0 win at home to Crystal Palace that kept the Reds level at the top of the league, and touching on the 3-0 win away to Norwich City that booked their place in the fourth round of the cup, our hosts pull out some very encouraging underlying numbers. They also focus on the form of Kostas Tsimikas, and the one area of his game where he could be an actual improvement on Andy Robertson, as well as set-pieces and why all the talk over signing another striker in the summer may have been misplaced. They then look ahead to this Saturday’s trip to Brentford, whose numbers, approach and recruitment could well make it a more difficult match for Liverpool than most would expect. And there’s also a quick preview of next Tuesday’s Champions League clash at Porto.Get exclusive podcasts direct to your inbox every week for FREE by joining the Blood Red Club.

Red Bull Salzburg forward Karim Adeyemi, now a senior Germany international, has been linked with a €30m (£26m) move to Liverpool of late, after a scintillating start to the season. So for the latest Blood Red Club exclusive, Matt Addison is joined by freelance football writer Ben Bocsak, who has spoken with Adeyemi's youth coaches and followed his career closely, and then Tom Middler from The Other Bundesliga podcast, who has seen him play regularly since he emerged onto the scene in Austria, to explore whether the 19-year-old would suit the Reds. Jurgen Klopp, certainly, could be a big lure for the Germany youngster. But Adeyemi's former club, Bayern Munich, are thought to be keen, while Barcelona are also among the competition for his signature. One thing is clear after Adeyemi tormented Sevilla in the Champions League last week: he's one to watch for the future. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
