It’s October 20th - welcome dear listener to the latest edition of First State Kopites. I’m Paul and I am joined by Sean to do a brief preview of what’s next for the Reds. We have Everton tomorrow in the early kick off and Toulouse at home next Thursday.

What do we expect:

• 13th time we’ve had this slot since Klopp arrived, nearest to us is 6. Actually does this just tell us that the Reds are really well supported in Asia and Oceania.
• Everton had nobody traveling or did they? Pickford, Patterson, Branthwaite, Mykolenko, Onana.
• Andy Robbo injury - 10 weeks minimum James Pearce is reporting

• Tsimikas…. Lacks a lot of things, can we compensate or should we be looking at Joe Gomez in the bigger games?

• Jet lagged South Americans (they were on Liverpool’s video), Gakpo had one training session.

• How did our boys do on the break - Darwin, VVD, Dom big contributions?
• Jones suspension hurts - we have won every game he has been on the field

• Biggest problem is the inability change things from the bench

• Formation (especially in view of the training game on Thursday?)

• Prediction
• Next week Nottingham Forest on the Sunday - still no Jones but should have all 5 attackers available. Winnable games follow.

Elsewhere:

• Referees in the UAE…. do they not care?
• Schedule difficulty increases for some - Chelsea-Arsenal; City-Brighton
• United's financial transactions

We will be back after the Everton game. Thanks to Sean for joining me. And thank you for listening.
