They talk through the game, of course, but also the significance of the result and the season as a whole as the Reds came within touching distance of securing a first Premier League title, with Luis Suarez, Daniel Sturridge, Steven Gerrard, Philippe Coutinho and Raheem Sterling all playing crucial role in Brendan Rodgers' all-out attacking side.

There's bigger things going on in the world right now but it's only human if any Liverpool fan had thought themselves that today was going to be the day they finally got to see their side be crowned league champions once again. Just tws wins away from the Premier League title, the Reds would have sealed top spot with victories over Everton last Monday and Crystal Palace this evening. But, of course, both matches were postponed by the outbreak of the coronavirus in this country and across the world. The health and well-being of your family and friends is what matters now but as Jamie Carragher wrote yesterday, football will leave a void in our lives until it returns. And that is the theme of The Agenda podcast, hosted by Paul Wheelock and featuring the Liverpool ECHO's chief LFC writer Ian Doyle. Enjoy - and we'll be back tomorrow with two podcasts.

We speak to football finance expert Kieran Maguire to talk what impact the suspension of the Premier League and football across the world could have on Liverpool and fellow clubs.

Football might be suspended, but the Blood Red podcast remains unaffected. Join Joe Rimmer, Paul Gorst, Dan Kay and Matt Addison as they talk through the coming week, with Liverpool set to find out more about their Premier League future in terms of the rest of this season and beyond following the outbreak of coronavirus. UEFA will meet on Tuesday, while the Premier League will reconvene for more talks two days later, but Karren Brady's suggestion of a voiding of the campaign is almost certainly not likely to happen. Away from the news that is dominating the agenda, Liverpool's preferred candidate to replace Dr Andy Massey as head of medical services, Gary O'Driscoll, has chosen to remain at Arsenal rather than make the move to Melwood. Our panel talk that and then look back at some famous nights in Liverpool's history which happened at some point this week. From St Etienne in 1977 to three matches under Jurgen Klopp that all took place on St Patrick's Day, there is plenty to think back to. With no football on our screens, at least for the next few weeks, this is the perfect thing to fill the gap. Enjoy!

Liverpool's long unbeaten run at Anfield is over, while their Champions League crown will not be retained this season thanks to Diego Simeone's Atletico Madrid. But was the Spanish outfit's display a managerial masterclass, or is that suggestion a myth? And who is to blame for the Reds crashing out of the tournament?

Welcome to the Post-Game podcast to react to Liverpool’s 2-1 win over Bournemouth at Anfield. It was a win that stopped the rot, if we can call it that, broke a league record, and more importantly, left the Premier League title tantalisingly close. Yes, goals from Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mane ensured the Reds returned to winning ways after back-to-back defeats and sealed a 22nd straight league victory at Anfield - which beats the 21-game record set by Bill Shankly’s Liverpool side back in 1972. The Reds went on to win the league that season and, it’s fair to say, they are going to repeat the feat this season, given they need just three more victories to secure top spot. But we’re not going to get ahead of ourselves on the Post-Game podcast, just yet. Instead we’re going to focus on the comeback win over Bournemouth with our usual view from the press box, dugout and the stands. Enjoy!

After being knocked out of the FA Cup by Chelsea, Liverpool's Premier League campaign gets back underway on Saturday as they look to return to winning ways and take a step closer to the title with victory over Bournemouth at Anfield.

So, with all that in mind, Matt Addison speaks to Tom Crocker of the Bournemouth Echo to preview the encounter and assess where it might be won and lost. There is also the latest on both Harry Wilson, who is on loan from the Reds to the south coast side, and Jordon Ibe, the former Liverpool winger who moved to Eddie Howe's team in 2016.

Yes, the Reds went down fair and square, 3-0 at Watford tonight, to see their 44-match unbeaten league run come to an end. It has to be placed in context.

Liverpool have announced a record £533m turnover after a stunning season that saw the club claim their sixth European Cup. The Reds have released their annual accounts for the year ending May 31 2019 – one day before the famous Champions League final win over Tottenham Hotspur in Madrid – which show turnover rose by £78m to £533m.
