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. When will football return? Will Euro 2020 be cancelled? And what happens to players set to be out of contract on June 30, like Adam Lallana, if the season is extended past then? Kieran attempts to answer those questions and also talks to Matt Addison about Liverpool’s record-breaking kit deal with Nike, who will replace New Balance as the club’s shirt manufacturer in the summer, and why we could be seeing a very different transfer market in the months and maybe years ahead.

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!

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.
