Thanks for joining us on First State Kopites - it’s episode 4 of our 4th season. I’m Paul and I am joined by Justin and Daz. The countdown is on - 6 days to the Community Shield, 13 days to the season start

Part One - Liverpool leather Leipzig

• Nunez obviously
• Who else? Salah, Elliott, Carvalho, Bacjetic, Milner
• Leipzig beat Southampton days before this - they do seem predisposed to let in a lot of goals from time to time - United in the Champions League 2 years ago
• Klopp’s analysis - not there yet in terms of fitness, tactics and timing

Part Two - upcoming week:

• Man City at the King Power
  • City warmed up by beating a Mane-less Bayern at Lambeau. Haaland appeared.
• Preceded by RB Salzburg in Austria
  • Chance to see who is likely to start at Fulham

Part three - other business

• David Moore’s passing
• Transfers - Firmino rumors and Juventus
• In need of work - Chelsea and United
• Look good on the face of it - Spurs and Arsenal
• Everton - Minnesota United - ranked 268 in the world by 538
• Barcelona - is ignoring your balance sheet an option?

Random topics :

• Changes to ways in which people get tickets - what does it mean being an international fan mean?
• Euros - Haitham and I are recording a separate episode

We’ll be back next week after Liverpool have played two games in a weekend. Thanks to Daz and Justin.
