A fantastic Liverpool performance against Arsenal has, in the eyes of the mainstream media become a story about Arsenal rather than one about the Mighty Reds. Not on The Anfield Wrap. Here we wax lyrical about Jurgen Klopp's side and their dominance over their North London opponents in all areas of the pitch. The front three get their deserved praise but the back line and midfield won their battles. It was a team performance from the side and one which announced themselves as genuine contenders for this season's title. Joining Neil Atkinson are Rob Gutmann, Philippa Smallwood and Dan Morgan to talk about the outstanding display of the season so far. Learn more about your ad choices.

Liverpool take on Arsenal at Anfield on Sunday knowing that a win would top off a successful first month to the Reds campaign.

Joining Neil Atkinson this week to contemplate the if's and to chat about Liverpool's Champions League progress this week are Gareth Roberts, John Gibbons and Adam Melia.

No John Gibbons this week (when will we all be together again?) but Neil Atkinson, Adam Melia and Stephanie Heneghan limp on.

An Anfield Wrap with a difference today, all the transfer tattle is over on our subscription feed, with Rob Gutmann getting ridiculously excited about more potential ins to follow in the footsteps of Mo Salah. Here though, we’re doing something else in a podcast of two parts. First, I’m joined by Andy Heaton, Ian Ryan and Paul Senior and with Liverpool making two high-profile appointments off the pitch this summer in the shape of chief executive Peter Moore and head of club and supporter liaison officer Tony Barrett I want to discuss what we as fans want from Liverpool FC.

I then speak to Simon Strachan, who is the co-founder of Gain Line – a sports analytics company - and along with his business partner Ben Darwin they have worked at the top level in rugby union.
