After Liverpool signed Thiago Alcantara and Diogo Jota inside two days, the Liverpool ECHO's LFC correspondent Paul Gorst explains the inside track on the transfers. Speaking to Matt Addison, Paul talks through how the Jota deal unfolded out of the blue, including some details on how Liverpool tracked the player, and how assistant manager Pep Lijnders was crucial to making it happen. There is then talk of Thiago - another transfer that was done relatively quickly once the Reds decided to make their move, with Bayern Munich accepting an initial £20million fee. And finally, with Ki-Jana Hoever gone, could Liverpool sign a new centre-back? And what does the last few days mean for former targets Ben White and Ismaila Sarr? All is explained.

Thiago Friday. Jota Saturday. Win at Chelsea on Sunday. What a few days it was to be a Liverpool fan. Little wonder, then, Josh Williams and David Hughes have got a lot to get stuck into in the latest episode of Analysing Anfield. They start with the signing of Thiago Alcantara, the Bayern Munich midfielder with the ‘unique skill-set’ who cannot only spot openings other players can’t, but has the technique to execute them. Basically, they believe the Spanish international’s arrival means Liverpool will now have the answer to most questions posed to them by opponents, or in their own words, ‘two Plan As’. But what about Wolves winger Diogo Jota, who swiftly followed Thiago through the Anfield doors? Is the Portuguese, who was previously identified as a transfer target by Dave and Josh in April, a back-up option to the front three? Or, on closer inspection of the data, is he actually a heir to Sadio Mane’s throne? The guys answer those questions before reviewing the mightily impressive 2-0 victory at Chelsea, focusing particularly on Thiago’s eye-catching cameo, and previewing Monday’s clash with an Arsenal team who have had Liverpool’s numbers in recent times.The Liverpool Echo sends a twice-daily Liverpool FC bulletin out via email with the all latest news, views and analysis from Anfield.

Liverpool have signed Diogo Jota from Wolves for an initial fee of £41m, with the forward potentially to make his Reds debut on Thursday night. To get the lowdown on the Portugal international, Blood Red's Matt Addison speaks to the Birmingham Mail's Alex Dicken, who covers Wolves regularly. Alex explains where Jota will fit in under Jurgen Klopp, why he could one day be a long-term replacement for either Sadio Mane or Roberto Firmino, and how he compares to Adama Traore. There is also an interesting comparison made to former Liverpool striker Luis Suarez, though Jota will have to considerably increase his consistency to reach anything like the Uruguayan's level! The chat concludes with a discussion about Ki-Jana Hoever, the Dutch youngster who moved to Wolves from Liverpool for a fee that could rise to as much as £13.5m, in a separate transfer deal.

So, Blood Red's Matt Addison speaks to Spanish football analyst Domagoj Kostanjšak to get the lowdown on the former Barcelona playmaker.

Ahead of Liverpool’s massive early-season match at Chelsea, the Analysing Anfield podcast assesses the defensive problems that seemed to blight their 4-3 win at home to Leeds United. Were the defending Premier League champions that bad at the back in their opening game? Or, digging deep into the underlying statistics, is that too simplistic a point of view? Josh Williams and David Hughes are on hand to answer those questions plus whether the one mistake Liverpool definitely made at the weekend – that led to Leeds’ second equaliser – will actually benefit Virgil van Dijk in the long run. Our hosts also look at Alisson’s performance before turning their attention to the hat-trick hero, Mohamed Salah, who will go up against his former club this weekend. The spotlight is therefore shone on Chelsea’s match at Brighton with particular focus on the displays of new boys Kai Havertz and Timo Werner, who was strongly linked with Liverpool before moving to Stamford Bridge. Chelsea may have won 3-1 but some old habits die hard and, with Salah in superb form, Josh and Dave explain why that might be bad news for Frank Lampard.The Liverpool Echo sends a twice-daily Liverpool FC bulletin out via email with the all latest news, views and analysis from Anfield.

Frank Lampard has appeared to take a jab at Liverpool's transfer policy by making a claim about Jurgen Klopp's comments on Chelsea. But was the Chelsea boss right about Liverpool's spending? And was Klopp correct in making his comments in the first place? Paul Gorst and Connor Dunn join Matt Addison to discuss just that on the latest Blood Red podcast. Also on the agenda is the 4-3 win over Leeds United, with a discussion about the sensational Mohamed Salah and suspect Liverpool backline. How much of a concern should the defensive errors be?

And to get the lowdown on the Championship winners Paul Wheelock speaks to Beren Cross, who covers the club for the LeedsLive website.

Trent Alexander-Arnold has followed in Steven Gerrard's footsteps by picking up the PFA Young Player the Year award and, along with four other of his Liverpool team-mates, has been named in PFA Team of Year. Liverpool's Rhian Brewster stance, meanwhile, has been made clear, while it seems Gini Wijnaldum will soon be speaking to Jurgen Klopp to give the club clarity over his future.

Liverpool's final pre-season match of the summer saw both Takumi Minamino and Sadio Mane get on the scoresheet in a 7-2 win over Blackpool. With several stars away on international duty, it was a mixed XI that took to the field in the first half and they struggled to perform, trailing 2-1 at the break.
