Welcome to the first View from the Kop podcast of 2020 as Liverpool fans Paul Philbin and Peter Harris join host Paul Wheelock for some pre-Manchester United listening. But before the trio get stuck into the visit of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side to Anfield, there is the big question to answer: No matter what happens on Sunday, are Liverpool now going to win the Premier League?

Also on the agenda is Adam Lallana's future, 1,000 days without a league home loss, the return of Fabinho, and an interesting shout about Paul Pogba. Enjoy.

Monterrey could not be in much better form going into tonight’s FIFA Club World Cup semi-final with Liverpool. The CONCACAF champions are on a 14-game unbeaten run under returning manager Antonio Mohamed that has seen them move within two matches of winning Liga MX. But it would still be a huge upset if the Mexican outfit were to beat Liverpool, the European champions. But the Reds did appear weary in their 2-0 triumph over Watford at Anfield at the weekend and their injury-hit squad will have had little time to prepare for the last-four clash at the Khalifa International Stadium having only arrived in Qatar on Sunday. In contrast Monterrey will have been in the country for nine days by the time this evening’s match gets under way. Will that be an advantage? Who are the players Liverpool should look out for? And what kind of game are we expecting? Paul Wheelock speaks Mexican football expert Tom Marshall to find out.

Welcome to the Post-Game podcast to react to Liverpool’s 5-0 Carabao Cup quarter-final loss at Aston Villa.Don’t let the final scoreline fool you – as it certainly did not reflect the performance produced by, what was, the youngest Liverpool team ever to take to a field. That’s why this podcast is far from downbeat. And it’s a podcast that starts with the verdict of our Liverpool FC correspondent Paul Gorst, continues with proud stand-in manager Neil Critchley’s brilliant press conference in full, and ends with the thoughts of two of our regular fan callers, Owen Thomas and Matt Whitty.

It's a whistle-stop Blood Red podcast as Joe Rimmer, Paul Gorst, Connor Dunn and Matt Addison shake off their Christmas Do hangovers (well, three of them) to preview the Carabao Cup quarter-final tie at Aston Villa and the FIFA Club World Cup semi-final with Monterrey in Qatar just 24 hours later. But before they get stuck into that double-header, there's the little matter of the Champions League last-16 draw with Atletico Madrid to discuss. They then go on to alleviate some Virgil van Dijk fears while also giving the customary score and team predictions - only this time double! Enjoy. It's a great listen.

Stand-in manager Neil Critchley’s full press conference ahead of Liverpool’s Carabao Cup quarter-final tie at Aston Villa. Liverpool’s line-up at Villa Park will be made up of players from Critchley’s Under-23s side. That’s because the Reds’ first team are in FIFA Club World Cup semi-final action in Qatar 24 hours after the Villa clash. And with Jurgen Klopp in Qatar with his senior stars, that meant U23s boss Critchley deputised for the German. Critchley talked the pride he will feel at leading Liverpool out at Villa, the fitness of Rhian Brewster, and the support he will get from Klopp on the night.
