Andy Jones and Simon Hughes join Tony Evans to discuss an action-packed night at Anfield, where Giorgi Mamardashvili and Joe Gomez became penalty-shootout heroes. After 15 spot kicks, it was Wesley Fofana who finally cracked, sending Liverpool through to the Carabao Cup quarter-finals. But just how much can the Reds take from the win?
We hear from listener Sam in New Zealand, who has written some new songs for Liverpool players, including Ronald Araujo. Could any of them become the next Anfield anthem?
The guys also pay tribute to Howard Gayle, the trailblazing former footballer who became Liverpool FC’s first Black player, reflecting on his legacy and place in the club’s history.
And with Arsenal visiting Anfield on Sunday, we look at what Andoni Iraola must get right against the Premier League champions. Who did enough against Chelsea to earn a starting spot, and can Liverpool make it six wins in a row — and put themselves in the conversation for the title?
