Liverpool's Leicester Loss & Chelsea To Come: TAW Live

It's the Christmas edition of The Rider and as such there is lots of talk of little drinks, nights out and decorations. There are festive tunes. There is John's Spotify hacker. And there are songs of the year of sorts. Neil Atkinson hosts somewhat chaotically with John Gibbons, Stephanie Heneghan and Adam Melia all cutting loose and feeling frisky. It's the perfect tonic to Christmas shopping and the stresses of the season. And the songs are good. Thanks for listening. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

The Anfield Wrap this week takes a long look at Liverpool's fantastic 0-4 win at Bournemouth and dwell on the sheer quality of that front three. The intensity was there throughout from The Reds and their quality shone through. It's a chance to take a breath and assess the season as well and we have a little bit of Mancunian influence as Steve Armstrong joins to chat through the situation in the wider league picture. Mike Nevin is in too and he and Steve chat about their new project, working for a company called Fansbet. Neil Atkinson hosts, Gareth Roberts and John Gibbons are also in. What a win, what a gang of lads. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Seven against Spartak. What about Everton? One of the things about a big win is that it concentrates the mind on the next game. You just want to see Liverpool play and win again.

Holding it together in the middle is Neil Atkinson. It's The Anfield Wrap on Citytalk at its best. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
