00:00:00This September, see you there.

00:00:05Manchester City, the kings of English football again.

00:00:30Gotta do it now, you'll never see.

00:00:32This is where it begins.

00:00:40Oh, what a goal!

00:00:44Just phenomenal!

00:00:52A touch from the heavens.

00:01:0020 times the champions of England.

00:01:06The stage is set.

00:01:08Welcome to the show.

00:01:10You can be the greatest of all time.

00:01:13You can be the greatest of all time.

00:01:18Premier League football returns tonight

00:01:20and it'll be an emotional evening at Anfield

00:01:22after the death of Diogo Jota

00:01:24and his brother Andre Silva six weeks ago.

00:01:27He was signed in 2020.

00:01:29He helped Liverpool to their 20th league title

00:01:32and he will be forever Liverpool's number 20.

00:01:43It's a kid that has fought a lot to be in the position he was.

00:01:47He was always someone very committed to fulfil his dream.

00:01:52We all loved Diogo.

00:01:54He was a very special boy.

00:01:56We came together from a team that was playing Champions League

00:01:59and we embraced the challenge of bringing Wolves back to the Premier League.

00:02:04He was incredible.

00:02:05And you respect him because of his will to win,

00:02:07his quality when it comes to playing football,

00:02:09his tenacity.

00:02:10He was born to play in the Premier League.

00:02:15Special moment for the new signing on his Premier League debut.

00:02:18I would say he was a very, very calm person and humble,

00:02:21very simple person.

00:02:22He was happy with his PlayStation at home,

00:02:24with his kids playing football.

00:02:26He was happy with just that.

00:02:28When things were difficult,

00:02:37the first one I've always looked at was Diogo,

00:02:39because he helped the club and me so many times in difficult moments.

00:02:44The more difficult it was, the better Diogo was for us.

00:02:47Diogo was for us.

00:02:51Well deserved brother.

00:02:52Thank you mate.

00:02:54When I take comfort in,

00:02:56that in the last month of his life,

00:02:58he was a champion in everything.

00:03:00A champion for his family,

00:03:01a champion for his country,

00:03:03and of course a champion for us by winning the Premier League.

00:03:05The murals, flowers, scarves, cards,

00:03:19and other tributes outside Anfield

00:03:21will be used to create a permanent memorial sculpture

00:03:24in memory of Diogo and his brother.

00:03:26There will be a special fan mosaic in the stands

00:03:29and a minute's silence observed before kick-off tonight.

00:03:32The club has also retired Jota's number 20 shirt

00:03:36at all levels across men's and women's football at the club.

00:03:39Forever 20 will be embroidered into the players' shirts

00:03:42for the duration of the season.

00:03:44And when Arna Slott was asked about playing football again

00:03:47in such difficult circumstances,

00:03:49he said this,

00:03:51Maybe the best thing for us to do

00:03:54is handle this situation like Jota was.

00:03:57It didn't matter if he was talking to me,

00:04:00to his teammates or to the staff,

00:04:03Diogo was always himself.

00:04:06If we want to laugh, we laugh.

00:04:09If we want to cry, we're going to cry.

00:04:12We will always carry him with us in our hearts

00:04:15and in our thoughts wherever we go.

00:04:19Nothing seems to be important if we think of what's happened.

00:04:23But we are a football club and we need to train

00:04:27and we need to play again.

00:04:30And play again they do

00:04:32as Liverpool's title defence gets underway

00:04:34with this Premier League opener this evening.

00:04:37Today I want to talk to you about football.

00:04:47But not just any football.

00:04:49Premier League football.

00:04:51And behind that name, there are legacies.

00:04:55Reggie's time.

00:05:02The special ones.

00:05:04Please don't call me arrogant.

00:05:05The normal ones.

00:05:06Boom.

00:05:07The 5,000 to ones.

00:05:09The invincibles and the inevitables.

00:05:13It's most definitely the greatest show on earth

00:05:16and you don't want to miss it.

00:05:18It's not here.

00:05:20Aguera!

00:05:21Marie!

00:05:24That's majestic!

00:05:26Oh, what a ball!

00:05:27Where are you?

00:05:28Oh!

00:05:29Oh!

00:05:30Oh!

00:05:31Oh!

00:05:32Jarrod Slicks!

00:05:33Pleased away.

00:05:34Tavern!

00:05:35Where do you want your statue?

00:05:37Vincent Kupfede.

00:05:38Collymore closing in!

00:05:39He's devastated!

00:05:40I will love it if we beat them.

00:05:42Love it.

00:05:43Love it.

00:05:44And this year, ain't no different.

00:05:49A new season brings new hope.

00:05:52New stars.

00:05:54New questions.

00:05:56Let the chaos begin!

00:05:58Oh!

00:05:59Oh!

00:06:00That is incredible!

00:06:01Brilliant touch from this.

00:06:02Omar!

00:06:03Let's fly!

00:06:04The summer!

00:06:05Oh!

00:06:06And yeah, it's live.

00:06:11It's been 82 days,

00:06:13but the Premier League is back.

00:06:15And Liverpool's title defence starts here at Anfield against Bournemouth.

00:06:20The opening weekend of this brand new Premier League season is upon us.

00:06:25Liverpool against Bournemouth is tonight.

00:06:27Then there are five games tomorrow.

00:06:29Newly promoted Sunderland are at home to West Ham.

00:06:32Burnley are away at Spurs.

00:06:33And our Saturday night football is at Molyneux,

00:06:36where Wolves take on Manchester City.

00:06:38And remember, you'll be able to watch a minimum of 215 matches live on Sky Sports this season,

00:06:45including every two o'clock kickoff on a Sunday.

00:06:48It starts with Club World Cup winners Chelsea against Crystal Palace,

00:06:51and Brentford travelling to Nottingham Forest.

00:06:53And this weekend's Super Sunday ends with a big clash at Old Trafford.

00:06:57It's Manchester United against Arsenal.

00:07:00Leeds play Everton at Elland Road.

00:07:02That's our Monday night football.

00:07:03The season opener is here at Anfield, home of the champions.

00:07:06And Liverpool have added to their squad as they prepare to defend their title.

00:07:12Anfield awaits.

00:07:1438 games to go to see who will be crowned Premier League champions this time around.

00:07:20And here, as always on a Friday night, it's Jamie Carragher and Gary Neville.

00:07:26Jamie, there will be a lot of expectation around this Liverpool side

00:07:30because of the signings that have been added, because they are the defending champions.

00:07:34Is it reasonable to expect them to defend their title and defend it convincingly?

00:07:39People may say that because there's no doubt the squad is much stronger than it was last season.

00:07:45We could see that in the teams that the manager picked.

00:07:48He didn't have full confidence in certain players and he's rectified that in terms of players that he's brought in.

00:07:54But I envisage a much tighter title this season because I think Liverpool will be better.

00:08:00I think they maybe get more points than they got last season because they dropped off towards the end.

00:08:04But I think Manchester City and Arsenal will be a lot more stronger than they were last season.

00:08:08Those two have been the two teams really in the last two or three seasons who've battled it out for the Premier League title.

00:08:13Last season they dropped off and Liverpool took full advantage of that.

00:08:16And I expect those teams to be a lot stronger this season.

00:08:19Liverpool hadn't been particularly active in the last few transfer windows, but they certainly have this time around Gary.

00:08:24Are you surprised that they've gone out with a title winning side and made so many big money signings?

00:08:29No, I think that to be fair to Gary, he called it a long way through last season that basically Liverpool need to sign players irrespective of whether they won the league or not.

00:08:37They've obviously lost players, you know, four or five great players that have served them well over the last few years.

00:08:43So they've had to bring new talent in. They've really measured. They don't panic.

00:08:47I think they've been very calm in the transfer market and they seem to wait to get the right player.

00:08:51And they've really pounced this summer with probably one or two more still to come.

00:08:55And it's looking like excellent business on paper with players with lots of years in front of them as well.

00:09:00Obviously missing from the outs for Liverpool is Diogo Jota following his death in the summer.

00:09:08When you look at that changeover of players, Jamie, is that the one note of caution that you might strike for anybody who's excited about Liverpool signings that there is quite a big churn this summer?

00:09:18Yeah, that is the worry. And Liverpool haven't looked themselves in preseason.

00:09:22I mean, it might sound strange what I'm going to say now, but Liverpool still need more players because of the actual players that have gone out.

00:09:31You think of the amount of forwards Liverpool had last season, you know, they've lost three and they've brought one in.

00:09:36So Liverpool still need to bring at least one more forward and maybe one more defender.

00:09:40And then that is a formidable squad that will look to attack, you know, the Premier League and the Champions League.

00:09:45But this is not about, you know, the ownership now throwing all kinds of money about.

00:09:49Liverpool feel this is the right thing to do. I think Liverpool will now go maybe two or three windows without spending again,

00:09:55because they'll feel like, right, we've got the squad. It's a great age.

00:09:58And we're almost getting ready for the time when Mohamed Salah and Virgil van Dijk maybe move on in two years time.

00:10:03I think it really goes to show how important it was to secure van Dijk and Salah,

00:10:09because if you're thinking about integrating new defenders, which they are doing,

00:10:12it's to have a kingpin like van Dijk to hold it together and give everybody comfort.

00:10:16It's like a comfort blanket. Similarly, up front, you've got Salah, who's ice cold, so composed.

00:10:21So the likes of Virgil and Eketike, they're going to be settled enormously by the fact that Salah's there

00:10:26and he's consistent and he's reliable. So I think the major signings probably happened at the end of last season

00:10:31when they signed Salah and van Dijk, because those new young players that are coming in have got people to really learn from.

00:10:36I want to get your thoughts as well on what Jamie was saying about this being a considered transfer window.

00:10:43And Jamie was just saying that this has been a very considered transfer window.

00:10:47Even if Isak comes in, even if Mark Gay is the defender who's being linked with Liverpool at the moment comes in,

00:10:53and the spending goes up further, does it feel like something that's thought out rather than, as Jamie was saying,

00:10:59you know, the opposite of just throwing money at a problem?

00:11:02Yeah, because I think last summer it could have been, Jürgen Klopp leaves, what would a lot of clubs have done?

00:11:08They would have brought a new manager in and they would have definitely supported him in the transfer market.

00:11:12Liverpool did the best business last summer by not signing anybody and they had consistent players,

00:11:17same squad and they won the league. But honestly, they only could do that for so long.

00:11:21They have lost three or four really important players. They had to go strong this summer.

00:11:25So they've bedded the manager in for a year. They've kept the same squad last season.

00:11:29Now's the time to really go for it. And they bought players who've got a really looks like a massively promising future.

00:11:35Gary, just talk to me about the difficulty in defending a title rather than going out and winning a title.

00:11:41Yeah, I mean, I can understand why Cara is a little bit cautious in saying that obviously it's not a foregone conclusion

00:11:46that Liverpool are going to win the league and I hope he's right.

00:11:49But if I'm looking at it from a point of view of Liverpool with Van Dijk, with Salah, with Alisson,

00:11:54with these players that they've brought in, they should have their chests out.

00:11:57They should be thinking we're going to win this league again.

00:11:59You can never say you're going to win the league comfortably. I don't think it's ever comfortable.

00:12:02And Liverpool players won't have felt comfortable last season, but they've won two in 33, 34 years.

00:12:08This is now a time for Liverpool to really kick on. It really is because Arsenal haven't proven they can win it yet.

00:12:18They don't look at their strongest. Pep's looking like it's going through a transition.

00:12:21United are nowhere near. Chelsea not quite there. So Liverpool really are massive favourites.

00:12:26But they should really feel strength in that rather than feel pressure.

00:12:31I know you're joking about the two in five, but it's actually the phrase that Arna Slott uses when he talks about Liverpool and Premier League titles.

00:12:37Is that, do you think, Jamie, partly because he's trying to instil that idea in the squad and that belief in the fans that this is a team that should and can be challenging regularly for titles?

00:12:48Yeah, I think his comments have been really interesting in the pre-season because he keeps getting asked about how many players have come in and how much Liverpool have spent.

00:12:55And he keeps saying that a normal title winner doesn't lose this many players.

00:13:01So I don't know if it's just what he thinks himself or he's sending a little message to his board that maybe he's unhappy with how many players have gone.

00:13:08Maybe Luis Diaz. It was that one where you could argue both ways. Half the supporters probably wanted to keep him.

00:13:14The other half probably wanted to move him on because it was a good price.

00:13:17But he is right in that you don't really see a title winning team, not so much not bring players in, but take so many players out.

00:13:25The Trent one was out of his hands, but Luis Diaz played a lot. Obviously, Nunez played a lot.

00:13:29Obviously, we know the situation with Jotter as well. So I don't think it is a foregone conclusion because of that reason.

00:13:34It almost feels like a different team.

00:13:36They have a very good record against Bournemouth, Liverpool. They have a very good record on the opening day.

00:13:41This is a Bournemouth side that have made big changes of their own, namely in terms of the players who have gone out of the club.

00:13:46And a couple of big signings coming in. What are your thoughts on them and their prospects for this match in the season, Gary?

00:13:52Well, that man that just walked in the manager is the most important person. I think he's been fantastic for them.

00:13:57He's not panicking. Obviously, they're trying to get players in. They got Diakite in. So obviously, it's going to be a big, big loss for them.

00:14:03Those three players that they've lost in the back line are going to leave them sort of devastated in some ways.

00:14:08But, you know, you always know as a club like Bournemouth that you're going to lose players to some of the biggest clubs.

00:14:13But I still think they'll have a decent season. We shouldn't get carried away with thinking that Bournemouth have to repeat sort of what they did last season, this season.

00:14:20Finishing anything above sort of 14th, 12th would be amazing for Bournemouth. Last season was sensational.

00:14:27And they'll want to get off to the perfect start here at Anfield later on this evening. Kickoff is at 8 o'clock.

00:14:34Over on Sky Sports News right now, Ronan Kemp has a new weekly show from 5 till 7, Premier League Friday.

00:14:39They'll preview all the weekend's fixtures. But if you are going to switch over to watch them, make sure you're back in a couple of minutes.

00:14:45Because after the break, we'll have all the team news from both Liverpool and Bournemouth.

00:14:49How many debuts will we see tonight? Will we see a first Premier League start for Liverpool's club record signing Florian Wirtz?

00:14:56Did you know you can get unlimited data with 48 Mobile? $12.99 a month and no annual price hikes?

00:15:15That sounds like a big yep.

00:15:22Is that cloud shaped like the word yep?

00:15:24Yep.

00:15:2548 Mobile. It's a big yep.

00:15:30Aoife, do you realise you copied Saoirse in on that email?

00:15:34I know. What am I like?

00:15:36Here she is, we're fired.

00:15:40Aoife.

00:15:41Saoirse!

00:15:42Anything you'd like to say about...

00:16:28Lasting change starts with Julux Weathershield.

00:16:32Julux.

00:16:33Julux.

00:16:34Let's colour.

00:16:35All right now tennis fans.

00:16:37It's US Open time, baby.

00:16:38And this one is anyways.

00:16:39Watch the US Open, live on Sky Sports.

00:16:41O.A.T.

00:16:42You can be the greatest of all time.

00:16:44The first of over 61,000 fans arriving at Anfield and just starting to make their way to the seat.

00:16:47Ahead of the 8 o'clock kickoff coming up between Liverpool and Bournemouth.

00:16:48The first of over 61,000 fans arriving at Anfield and just starting to make their way to the seat.

00:17:00Ahead of the 8 o'clock kickoff coming up between Liverpool and Bournemouth in this Premier League Opener.

00:17:19Our commentator Peter Drury is on the gantry for this one.

00:17:25And the first lot of team news of the season is in.

00:17:28Peter, what can you tell us?

00:17:30Yeah, Kelly, the thrill of the first team sheet of a new season.

00:17:32The ink yet to dry on headline news, which I think the supporters of both teams, as I assimilate it together with you, will quicken the pulse of everyone.

00:17:42The Liverpool 11 does afford Premier League debuts to Ugo Eketike after his dream start to the Community Shield.

00:17:51To Florian Wirtz, their priciest purchase ever.

00:17:55To Jeremy Fringpong after years, of course, of Trent Alexander-Arnold, another Wembley scorer last weekend.

00:18:02And indeed to Milos Kerkhez against the club, which sold him.

00:18:06He does hold off Andy Robertson at left back.

00:18:08We know there's still no Ryan Gravenberg.

00:18:10He's suspended today.

00:18:11The midfield change is Alexis McAllister fit again now in place of Curtis Jones.

00:18:17Otherwise, much as you probably anticipated.

00:18:19Marma Dashvili is the new boy on the bench, the goalkeeper.

00:18:22Together, incidentally, with Rio Ngomoa, the breakout starlet of pre-season.

00:18:28A look now at Bournemouth.

00:18:29And they have a new goalkeeper in Georgi Petrovic, recruited, of course, from Chelsea.

00:18:33Adrian Truffair comes from Rennes to replace Kerkhez at left back.

00:18:38And Bofode Diakite only signed on Wednesday.

00:18:41He's had two training sessions.

00:18:43And he is straight into the 11 to replace Ilya Zabani and or Dean Housen alongside Marcos Senezi at centre-back.

00:18:50Evan Nielsen, as you would have thought, leads the line.

00:18:52And by the way, Philip Billing, after helping Napoli win the Italian league, is back.

00:18:57And he is on the bench.

00:18:58So that's the Bournemouth news.

00:18:59But the big Liverpool questions for you, Kelly, are answered.

00:19:03Frimpong, Wietz, Eketike, Kerkhez.

00:19:07Yes, yes, yes, and yes again.

00:19:10Peter, thank you very much.

00:19:12Season's greetings to you.

00:19:13We'll be back with you a little bit later on.

00:19:15Thoughts on that Liverpool line-up, Jamie?

00:19:17Is it pretty much as expected with McAllister coming into the side?

00:19:20Is it the one change from the one that started the community?

00:19:23Yeah, listen, McAllister is one of the unsung heroes of the Liverpool team.

00:19:27He's been a fantastic sign-in.

00:19:29And I think they missed him last week in the community shield.

00:19:32He's a calming influence.

00:19:33He's like maybe a Paul Scholes figure for Manchester United.

00:19:37Just sits in that midfield.

00:19:38Just almost makes other players play better.

00:19:40Really cool and calm and collected in possession.

00:19:43And I think they've missed something in central midfield.

00:19:45A couple of the pre-season games where they've looked a little bit vulnerable.

00:19:48Certainly being too easy for the opposition to get at the back four.

00:19:51So, yeah, a welcome return for him.

00:19:53Is that an area that he'll look to strengthen as well, central midfield?

00:19:56I'm not sure because I think Sir Bosley, who has done well in pre-season in that role,

00:20:00going a little bit deeper.

00:20:01I think they've got four players for two positions.

00:20:03I think we know the first choice ones are Gravenberg and McAllister.

00:20:06And you've got Curtis Jones and probably Sir Bosley as well, maybe to back up that.

00:20:11As far as the new signings are concerned, they're pretty much all in there, Jamie.

00:20:15So, how excited are Liverpool fans going to be to see them in action?

00:20:18And how excited should they be?

00:20:19They should be excited, you know, because they are all attacking players.

00:20:22Even though there's two defenders in there, they're really offensive.

00:20:25And, you know, this crowd and a lot of supporters online have been screaming at the club for years

00:20:30to go out and spend lots of money and bring lots of players in.

00:20:32So, they've got the wish, certainly this season.

00:20:35And, yeah, it does look exciting.

00:20:37I mentioned towards the end of last season, Liverpool needed six or seven players,

00:20:41even though they were nailed on to go and win the title.

00:20:43So, as I said, I don't think it's Liverpool just spending money for spending.

00:20:47See, this was needed. They needed better backup in certain areas.

00:20:50And for me, they needed a better left back and number 10 and centre forward.

00:20:54And they're the three positions, certainly, that the manager's gone out and gone.

00:20:57Look, I think we've seen at times formulaic football quite a bit over the last seven or eight, nine years.

00:21:02But when I look at that front four and I think of the fact that Virts, obviously,

00:21:05sometimes you see more a midfield player that moves up the pitch rather than a forward goal back.

00:21:10And I like the fact they've got like a front four.

00:21:12It may leave them a little bit more open.

00:21:14They might concede some goals at times, but they'll score absolutely tons of goals.

00:21:19And there should be really exciting games here this season.

00:21:21If you're a football fan watching Liverpool, you're going to be excited.

00:21:24I think the, sorry, Gary, I think the exciting thing for Liverpool supporters,

00:21:27Liverpool were way above everybody in attacking teams last season,

00:21:31in terms of the amount of goals they scored, their XG numbers, their shots at goal.

00:21:35They were levels above Arsenal and he's still gone out and gone.

00:21:38So to those attacking players as well.

00:21:40So he still wasn't satisfied with the attack last season.

00:21:43I think he's doing it properly.

00:21:44I think that's how football should be.

00:21:45Go and just look to score loads of goals.

00:21:47Obviously, they have to defend well.

00:21:48But you know, think of the full backs are attacking as well.

00:21:51They're going to be sensational going forward.

00:21:53Do you think this feels like an honor slot team now rather than a Jurgen Klopp squad that had

00:21:58honor slots coaching behind it?

00:22:00Yeah, I think that's fair to say.

00:22:02I think what Arna Slott did last season, we thought it was more of a coach like control.

00:22:07We were just getting to know him as a coach.

00:22:10And we kept talking about the control Liverpool have was slightly different than the previous manager.

00:22:14But then you look at the signings that he's brought in.

00:22:16Now, maybe it's not as much control, it's maybe more exciting.

00:22:19And here's the man.

00:22:20And Arna Slott joins us now.

00:22:21Arna, thanks very much for coming out to talk to us.

00:22:24I just want to start by asking you about what's been a very difficult preseason.

00:22:28But now the players are here.

00:22:30They're ready to defend their Premier League title.

00:22:33Where are the squad in terms of their preseason preparations and their readiness for this season on all levels?

00:22:40I think far better than I expected five or six weeks ago at that moment of time.

00:22:47You feel, will it ever be possible to play again or will it ever be possible to get them going again?

00:22:53But as I said many times, they've conducted themselves so, so, so well in that period of time when we first heard the news.

00:23:03And afterwards, I think on both sides, they were great.

00:23:07So as a human being, but they also understood that we had to be professional football players again.

00:23:13So we had to work hard and that's what they started doing.

00:23:16And as you said, they need to play again.

00:23:19They need to come here and they need to defend their title.

00:23:21But there's plenty of new signings in there for the Liverpool fans to get to see at Anfield for the first time, some of them.

00:23:28Yeah.

00:23:29If a lot of players go at a club like this, it's quite normal to replace them.

00:23:34Otherwise, we had to use the under-18s today. That would not be smart.

00:23:38So, yeah, we've lost many. We've brought in many. And even yesterday, we brought in one who's unfortunately not available yet.

00:23:45But this is Giovanni Leone. Yeah. Yeah. So now we're really happy. Of course, we've lost a few very, very good players as well.

00:23:54But the ones we've brought in are special players as well.

00:23:58And a lot of the players that you brought in are attacking players, even the full backs that have come in as well.

00:24:03And there's been a few problems a little bit in pre-season in terms of conceding goals.

00:24:07Is that to do with the attacking nature of the players or is it a structure problem?

00:24:12If you look at the facts, conceding goals, then what you're saying is true.

00:24:18I remember the game we played Palace away last season in the 80th minute.

00:24:23They went one-to-one against one against Fitz Jarros. Fitz saved it. We won the game 1-0.

00:24:28Now the same moment they scored in that situation. If I look in general, I don't think we concede more chances.

00:24:34But the ones we've conceded led to goals most of the time. I don't know if you were here against Bilbao.

00:24:39We hardly conceded any chance at all, but we did concede two set pieces where one of them was deflected from one of us.

00:24:46So, in general, I don't think we conceded a lot of chances.

00:24:50But we did concede more goals in pre-season than we did last season throughout almost the whole season.

00:24:55Arnie, we've watched Trent Alexander-Arnold with Mo Salah have one of the great partnerships down the side.

00:25:01How does that partnership now differ with Frimpong and Salah? What are the differences in terms of what we're going to see?

00:25:07No, the biggest difference is that Trent is also a player that can overlap and underlap, but his passing ability was probably the best.

00:25:16I wanted to say a fullback as ever.

00:25:19It was better than mine, I can assure you.

00:25:21We've ever seen in the Premier League, but I don't even think I offend you if I say this.

00:25:26So, that was the main strength of Trent, and I would not say that's the main strength for Conor Bradley or Jeremy Frimpong.

00:25:35What the two of them do have, and maybe Jeremy even more than Conor is, the 1v1 quality which we saw in the Community Shield as well.

00:25:43So, that makes it more difficult for the other teams, because they could have maybe normally make a 2v1 against Mo.

00:25:50Then we squared it to Trent, who whipped it in.

00:25:52But now it's two times a 1v1, and the both of them are very dangerous in a 1v1.

00:25:57Ana, we're going to let you go and continue your pre-match preparations.

00:26:00Thanks so much for coming out to talk to us.

00:26:02Good to see you.

00:26:04After the break, we're going to have a special live performance by Kasabian from the Outer Net London.

00:26:12They will be performing GOAT, our brand new title music.

00:26:17We'll be hearing from them next.

00:26:36As I walked in that door, I was so nervous.

00:26:40But I stayed long enough to look around and realise, there really is something about this place.

00:26:49An energy.

00:29:57Hard fought.

00:29:58First serve.

00:29:59Fast feet.

00:30:00Grip tight.

00:30:01Eyes locked.

00:30:02Crowd roars.

00:30:03Sweat flies.

00:30:04One last shot.

00:30:05One last stand.

00:30:06This is Cincinnati.

00:30:08The final stop before the US Open.

00:30:11Game on.

00:30:12Live on Sky Sports.

00:30:14The greatest of all time.

00:30:16You can be the greatest of all time.

00:30:18You can be the greatest of all time.

00:30:20Round about an hour to go before kickoff and the opening day of the new season.

00:30:24And Bournemouth fans are looking to see their side win at Anfield for the first time in their history.

00:30:30Liverpool fans hoping theirs will be able to claim back to back Premier League titles come May.

00:30:35And this is how they line up plenty of new faces on display for this new Premier League season.

00:30:42New signings for Liverpool.

00:30:44Frimpong, Kerkers making their debuts in the Premier League.

00:30:47Wirt and Ekitike also starting for Liverpool this evening.

00:30:54And there are new faces for Bournemouth as well.

00:30:56Petrovic, Diakite, Trouffer all starting for them.

00:30:59Adam Smith, the right back, the only regular member of the back line from last season to start for Bournemouth this evening.

00:31:06So it's that new all-star looking Liverpool XI as Bournemouth look to buck history and to get that result.

00:31:13Liverpool looking to get off to a great start this season.

00:31:17Jamie Carragher, when you look at how the two sides match up,

00:31:20what are your thoughts on where Bournemouth can cause Liverpool problems?

00:31:24Well, I think Bournemouth will just have to look at what's happened to Liverpool in pre-season.

00:31:27Namely, what happened last week.

00:31:29Crystal Palace caused Liverpool huge problems on the counter-attack.

00:31:32And you look at Semenyo there especially.

00:31:34Tavernier behind the centre-forward Ivan Nielsen and then Brooks.

00:31:38Those four attacking players, you'd expect the back four and the two sitting midfield players to almost hold their positions really away at Anfield.

00:31:44But that front four could get joy as we saw at the weekend in the Community Shield.

00:31:48Well, we can head live now to the outer net London to hear Kasabian perform our new title music for this season.

00:31:57It's G-O-A-T or GOAT.

00:32:00You'll be hearing it a lot this season.

00:32:02But the best way to hear it is live.

00:32:04Pantone and Rojo is live.

00:32:10GLORIA PENNING

00:32:15Sing it now

00:32:16Round one

00:32:17Yeah, yeah, yeah

00:32:23You can be the greatest outfall

00:32:25T-O-A-T

00:32:27Gotta do it now and you'll never see

00:32:31You can be the greatest outfall.

00:32:33We can be the greatest of all

00:32:35Young I come

00:32:40Don't ever compromise

00:32:46Gotta be strong

00:32:50How will I find the way

00:32:53Don't let her bring it down

00:32:57Let her fly

00:32:59Let her fly

00:33:02Let her fly

00:33:06Singing down, about to

00:33:25Look into the sky cause you know it's true

00:33:27You can be the greatest I want

00:33:30You can be the greatest of all

00:33:33G-O-N-G

00:33:43You can be the greatest of all

00:33:46You can be the greatest of all

00:33:47You can be the greatest of all

00:33:49You can be the greatest of all

00:33:53You can be the greatest of all time.

00:34:12You can be the greatest of all time.

00:34:15A live performance by Kasabian of Sky's new title music for this new Premier League season.

00:34:25GOAT, who will be the greatest of all time?

00:34:29Who will seize their opportunity this season to put themselves in the Premier League history books?

00:34:35And Serge joins us live now.

00:34:37Serge, thanks so much for this.

00:34:39Who do you think is the greatest of all time?

00:34:41Who is the best ever Premier League player for you?

00:34:44Jamie Vardy.

00:34:47As a Leicester fan, there was only one answer to that.

00:34:51It's almost the timing couldn't really have been any worse.

00:34:53As Leicester get relegated, you get to do the Premier League opening song.

00:34:57But I suppose you can watch it this season and be pretty relaxed.

00:35:00Yeah, I can. I can enjoy the Premier League season.

00:35:04Yeah, I'm looking forward to it. Can't wait for the season to start.

00:35:07In the Championship or the Premier League, Leicester aren't you?

00:35:11That's what he's saying.

00:35:13Yeah, I know. Listen, Jamie helped me out, mate.

00:35:16It's really difficult. This is a big moment for us.

00:35:19You know what I mean? It's a really iconic track.

00:35:20We're buzzing. You keep reminding me we're not in the Prem.

00:35:23Do you know what I mean? Like, come on.

00:35:25Love the jacket.

00:35:27That's what I was just going to say, actually.

00:35:30Serge, I love the song. I love the jacket.

00:35:31I love the jacket. Can you give me some fashion advice, please?

00:35:35You know what? I've been watching you on Stick to Football.

00:35:38You stepped up a bit, mate.

00:35:39Gary, I'm feeling you at the moment.

00:35:41I'm liking the hoodies.

00:35:43I'm liking the hoodies.

00:35:44We can't say that on this show.

00:35:45No, Serge, that is more than enough on Gary's fashion sense as well.

00:35:50No phrase for that one there.

00:35:51Listen, Serge, really appreciate you joining us to have a chat

00:35:54and really appreciate that.

00:35:55The new song sounds great.

00:35:56It's going to sound fantastic all season long.

00:35:59Thanks so much.

00:36:02Amazing. Thank you.

00:36:03See you.

00:36:04Thank you very much to Serge from Kasabian.

00:36:06You will be hearing GOT all season here on Sky Sports.

00:36:10As we saw earlier and as we saw from the Bournemouth Team News,

00:36:13it has been a summer of change for them, for Andoni Arawler.

00:36:16Emma Saunders went to catch up with the New Look Squad.

00:36:20Every season you start with this nervous thing,

00:36:25that you don't know if you are at the level.

00:36:28We're ready to go.

00:36:29Tough game for the start, but I think we'll be alright.

00:36:32The team has worked extremely hard to prepare for the season,

00:36:34so I think we're ready to go.

00:36:39Three words to describe how you feel about this coming season.

00:36:44Excited.

00:36:45Excited.

00:36:46Excited.

00:36:47Exciting.

00:36:48Exciting season.

00:36:49I'll give you.

00:36:50Confident.

00:36:51Confident.

00:36:52Yeah.

00:36:53That's a good one.

00:36:54Impatient.

00:36:55You can say this.

00:36:56Yeah, nice.

00:36:57Impatient.

00:36:58What if you don't have three?

00:36:59Out.

00:37:00Some outer.

00:37:01Europe.

00:37:02Europe.

00:37:03That should be...

00:37:04Yeah.

00:37:05Europe.

00:37:06I think it's going to be a proud season for us.

00:37:07I think we're going to achieve some big things.

00:37:08Who takes a long time in the mirror?

00:37:10Maybe Tavernier will be one of the last ones.

00:37:12Nah, that's not me.

00:37:13That's either.

00:37:14Justin Cliver.

00:37:15Who takes that time?

00:37:16Enes Una likes it for sure.

00:37:17He always looks good, so yeah, I give him the credit.

00:37:19You've had a fresh trim ahead of today, haven't you?

00:37:21Of course, I had one last night.

00:37:22You have to be prepared for these things.

00:37:23Adam Smith is there.

00:37:25Spends the majority of the time looking at himself in the mirror.

00:37:29I'm not sure that's true, to be honest.

00:37:31There's a few lads that are longer than me.

00:37:33Alex Scott?

00:37:34I mean, look at his hair.

00:37:35Are you kidding me?

00:37:36Maybe Alex Scott with his curtains.

00:37:37He's never a very long time.

00:37:38We hear this is a real labour of love.

00:37:40Is that fair?

00:37:41A lot of time goes into the curtains.

00:37:42No, not really.

00:37:43I wouldn't say that.

00:37:44A few minutes every morning.

00:37:46Really?

00:37:47Other lads said that I take ages and nights.

00:37:49I'm not telling any secrets, not knowing any names.

00:37:51What have they got you doing so far?

00:37:53Probably doing a TikTok for someone.

00:37:54Okay.

00:37:55Are you much of a TikToker?

00:37:56Yeah.

00:37:57Are you?

00:37:58A TikTok scene?

00:37:59No, I'm doing them myself.

00:38:00Right.

00:38:01But I'm scrolling.

00:38:02I've seen a few of you doing celebrations on your green screens.

00:38:04Yeah.

00:38:05It gets you in the mood.

00:38:06Yeah, it does get you in the mood.

00:38:07I mean, I think everyone's preparing.

00:38:08They've been practicing at home probably.

00:38:10So, yeah.

00:38:11Looking forward to it.

00:38:12You're acting like you haven't, but come on.

00:38:13I do it all the time.

00:38:14I don't lie about it.

00:38:15I'm honest.

00:38:16I do it all the time.

00:38:17So, I've got something cooking up for this season.

00:38:19Oh, really?

00:38:20Can we get any clues?

00:38:21No, no clues.

00:38:22You just have to see when I score the first goal.

00:38:23Well, you're just going to have to start scoring goals then, aren't you?

00:38:25That's my job, so hopefully I do so.

00:38:32Well, for some of the players at Bournemouth, it's going to be a getting-to-know-you session

00:38:36with them because three of them, Diakite, Petrovic and Trufa, new to the squad and they

00:38:41start for Bournemouth against Liverpool this evening.

00:38:44But look at that list of players who've left the club over the summer.

00:38:48Is this what happens, Gary, when you're a club that builds itself up around making money

00:38:53off transfers, on sustaining yourself financially in this way?

00:38:58Because it's a way that has had success at other clubs.

00:39:01Yeah.

00:39:02Look, I understand that Bournemouth are always going to have to sell.

00:39:04I think Hoisin obviously had a buyout clause, so that one can't be prevented.

00:39:09Kerkhez was always being lined up by Liverpool and obviously that was done.

00:39:12But he had three years left on his contract, Kerkhez.

00:39:15Zabani's a real surprise for me because obviously he brought a lot of money in,

00:39:18but he had four years left on his contract.

00:39:20He only signed a five-year deal last year.

00:39:22I know it's PSG, sometimes the player can sort of agitate a little bit and want to go there.

00:39:27I can understand that.

00:39:28It's hard to turn down the European champions.

00:39:30It's not ideal for Bournemouth to lose three of their back four all at one hit.

00:39:33And I think Zabani, I don't know, I understand from a player's perspective

00:39:37and the fact that the club would have been difficult for him to stay another year

00:39:41with PSG wanting him, but to lose three all at once.

00:39:44The goalkeeper as well.

00:39:45And the goalkeeper.

00:39:46It's big, it's big.

00:39:48And I think Zabani maybe they should have just held tight and said,

00:39:50look, another year, you need to do another year with us.

00:39:52Just bed the other players in.

00:39:54How difficult does that make that for the defence,

00:39:57to have a new goalkeeper in there,

00:39:59to have three of your back four changed from last season,

00:40:02starting a new Premier League season together?

00:40:04The reason they've gone, you think of the clubs that they've gone to,

00:40:06you talk about PSG, Hoisin gone to Real Madrid.

00:40:08I mean, they were top quality last season.

00:40:10And they only conceded 46 goals in the Premier League,

00:40:13one of the best defences.

00:40:14And we think of Uriola's team about being pressed and being aggressive,

00:40:18getting the ball forward quickly.

00:40:20But actually that defensive stability was fantastic.

00:40:22And they were good players.

00:40:24And it's going to be really difficult to replace them.

00:40:26You mentioned before about Liverpool bringing defenders in,

00:40:28but you've still got Van Dijk there.

00:40:30You've still got Alisson Becker behind them.

00:40:31It's doubly difficult for Bournemouth to replicate what they did last season,

00:40:34certainly defensively.

00:40:35I know you like Andoni Arawla a lot in terms of how he worked with Bournemouth,

00:40:39how he set them up,

00:40:40but how much work will he have had to do over the summer break

00:40:43in order to make sure that those new signings in particular are ready for this season?

00:40:47I don't think that work's finished.

00:40:49I still think there's more to do.

00:40:50When you look at the numbers there,

00:40:51the players that have moved on,

00:40:52they've only brought sort of three players in there,

00:40:54as we've just seen.

00:40:55I still think there's a lot of work for Bournemouth to do.

00:40:57People know they've got money as well,

00:40:59which is not always easy as well when you're going into the market.

00:41:02But I think there'll be a lot of reinforcements,

00:41:04I think, in the next few weeks for Bournemouth.

00:41:06Is he the kind of manager, though,

00:41:09that can do that and can make those changes quickly?

00:41:12Because what you've both said in the past about him

00:41:14is that he is a manager who can communicate his ideas effectively

00:41:17and get them through and working on the pitch.

00:41:19Yeah, I don't think he'll panic one little bit.

00:41:21I think he'll be quite relaxed.

00:41:22He'll come and talk to us shortly and tell us about it.

00:41:25I mean, it's not ideal to lose four of your back five,

00:41:27so that's something that, to be fair,

00:41:28he won't be able to get away from.

00:41:30But he's a fantastic coach.

00:41:31He'll do a good job with them.

00:41:32They won't be in danger, I don't think,

00:41:33of going down this season, Bournemouth.

00:41:35But it's going to be a lot harder for them to integrate.

00:41:38And the best form of defence tonight might be attack.

00:41:42They've got good players up front.

00:41:44Diakite coming in only this week.

00:41:45It's a big ask for them, particularly at this place

00:41:48and field against the players that they're up against.

00:41:50Reports that Ben Doak could be heading to Bournemouth.

00:41:53What would they be getting from him, Jamie?

00:41:56Well, he was certainly one of the best players

00:41:57in the Championship last season.

00:41:58It was always going to be difficult for him.

00:42:00At Liverpool, you know, the type of player that he is,

00:42:03he's a right winger.

00:42:04He likes to cut inside on his left foot.

00:42:05Well, Liverpool have got the best in the world at that.

00:42:07So there was no doubt he was always going to move on, Ben Doak.

00:42:10But I think it's a great move for him as well.

00:42:11There was a lot of talk, a lot of Championship clubs

00:42:13interested in maybe teams near the bottom of the Premier League.

00:42:16Don't forget Bournemouth were ninth last season in the Premier League.

00:42:18So I think it's a really good move for him as well.

00:42:20And I hope it goes well for the lad.

00:42:22We'll have lots more from Anfield after the break

00:42:24and we'll hear lots more about Bournemouth

00:42:25because we'll be chatting to their head coach,

00:42:27Andoni Araula.

00:42:28And we'll be on the pitch to take a look at just how

00:42:30Liverpool's club record signing Florian Wirt can improve

00:42:33Arnaslock's title winning team.

00:42:47He didn't care if I screamed.

00:42:48But I didn't.

00:42:52It would wake them up.

00:42:54Sean had that test the next day.

00:42:56He needed his sleep.

00:42:58They didn't deserve this.

00:43:05I didn't deserve it either.

00:43:17It's bet builder time for Josh.

00:43:19And he builds his.

00:43:21His way.

00:43:22Three plus shots.

00:43:24All his data points to...

00:43:25Don Castor.

00:43:26I've got some difficult news.

00:43:29I'm betting on us to lose.

00:43:31Have you seen the odds?

00:43:33Go to whatever lengths you like to build your bed builder.

00:43:36He's not match fit!

00:43:43That's satisfaction.

00:43:45From Ladbrokes.

00:43:46Irish strawberry season is here.

00:45:06Good food, good mood.

00:45:07From Aldi.

00:45:08Back in the day, if you wanted a picture of yourself, this was the only option.

00:45:11Be still.

00:45:12Forget this.

00:45:13Way easier.

00:45:14Same with shoes.

00:45:15You should have to bend down and struggle.

00:45:16But there's an easier way.

00:45:17With Hands-Free Sketches slip-ins, I just step in and go.

00:45:26Back in the day, if you wanted a picture of yourself

00:45:29This was the only option

00:45:30Be still, forget this

00:45:32Way easier

00:45:34Same with shoes, you just have to bend down and struggle

00:45:36But there's an easier way

00:45:38With hands-free sketches, slip-ins

00:45:39I just step in and go

00:45:41No bending down, I never have to touch my shoes

00:45:43Step out of the dark ages and step into sketches, slip-ins

00:45:46It's not bad going, is it?

00:45:52There are moments in business that shape everything to come

00:46:40This unrelenting sporting drama

00:46:45So join us

00:46:51I love that passion

00:46:53This September

00:46:54See you there

00:46:56A new league

00:47:10The sense of anticipation

00:47:12They put it in by Brian Dean

00:47:14Shearer

00:47:16He scored

00:47:18On his debut

00:47:19Sheringham goes for goal

00:47:21I don't think there's any other way, young man

00:47:24But to play football the way we play it

00:47:27Pitchman's free

00:47:37And he's marked his debut with a goal

00:47:40Back up

00:47:52That's absolutely brilliant

00:47:55Please don't call me arrogant

00:48:02Because what I'm saying is true

00:48:03I think I'm a special one

00:48:06New season but same old Arsenal

00:48:10You can enjoy your birthday cake tonight

00:48:13Well, I will definitely

00:48:14The first goal of the Emirates Stadium is scored by the visitors

00:48:26This is Rooney

00:48:27Looking for Ronaldo

00:48:29Certainly friends again now

00:48:33I just came to say hello

00:48:36Decent effort

00:48:38Oh, it's magnificent

00:48:40What a way to round off your city

00:48:43And Premier League debut

00:48:45Let's sum it up

00:48:46What did we learn this weekend?

00:48:47The Monday Night Football's tough for Gary Neville

00:48:49Absolutely not

00:48:50Ibrahimovic gets one on target

00:48:56And scores

00:48:58Sadio Mane wanting a goal for himself

00:49:00And what a glorious goal he's got

00:49:02Antonio Conte looks like he's got

00:49:05His opening day winner's Chelsea manager

00:49:07Here comes Kanoff

00:49:11Oh

00:49:13Brentford are off and running

00:49:15Yes, it's the Premier League

00:49:16The Premier League is back

00:49:18Come on!

00:49:20I'm not sure how I realise

00:49:21But the mics don't quite work

00:49:24As far over as that

00:49:25Crocs is there again

00:49:30And scores again

00:49:31Brighton

00:49:32Rocks Old Trafford

00:49:34Carlin in

00:49:35There he goes

00:49:37That's the counter punch that he brings

00:49:38Many memorable moments

00:49:44On the opening weekend

00:49:45Of Premier League seasons past

00:49:47There are five games tomorrow

00:49:48Including our Saturday night football

00:49:50As Manchester City travel to Wolves

00:49:52All of Sunday's games are live on Sky Sports

00:49:55And it ends at Old Trafford

00:49:57As Manchester United take on Arsenal

00:49:59On Monday Night Football

00:50:00Newly promoted leads face Everton

00:50:02At Elland Road

00:50:04But it all starts at Anfield

00:50:05And Super 6 is back

00:50:07If you scan the QR code

00:50:09That's the easiest way to take you

00:50:11To the best place to enter

00:50:12For £1 million

00:50:14Fans are arriving in their droves

00:50:20Now ahead of Liverpool against Bournemouth

00:50:22And those Liverpool fans

00:50:23Including Jamie Carragher

00:50:24Excited to see the new signings

00:50:26Make their Premier League debuts

00:50:27After a summer of record spending

00:50:29The big man wants to speak

00:50:32What have you got to say?

00:50:33I've got to say

00:50:34He's going to be the best striker

00:50:36In the Premier League ever

00:50:37Ever?

00:50:38Ever

00:50:39Talking about attackers

00:50:40How excited are you to see

00:50:41The new man in that number 7

00:50:43Sheafer Liverpool

00:50:43I am so excited to see Florian Veiths

00:50:45Listen you see him pre-season

00:50:47So much space

00:50:48And his touch is unbelievable

00:50:50He knows exactly where Salah is

00:50:51I think he's going to be the absolute business

00:50:53He looks it already

00:50:54A lot of new signings come in for the club

00:50:56Now who are you most excited to see?

00:50:58Fred Pong and Veiths

00:51:00Why?

00:51:00And Isak

00:51:01Oh!

00:51:02Whoa!

00:51:03So you think Isak's done?

00:51:04Is he signed?

00:51:05Is he going to get sorted in a couple of weeks?

00:51:07Yeah because it's all Newcastle

00:51:09That he won't play for them anymore

00:51:10Do Liverpool need to sign Isak?

00:51:13Yeah

00:51:13Why?

00:51:15Because he's really good in the attack

00:51:17And he's a good finisher

00:51:18Do you think Liverpool are going to be champions again

00:51:20This time next year?

00:51:22Everyone knows it

00:51:23Yeah

00:51:23Liverpool

00:51:24Going to win the league this season

00:51:26They should do

00:51:27Or they should be favourites

00:51:28Arsenal Man City are really really good

00:51:30Okay very good

00:51:31I don't know why I've had my arm around your interview

00:51:33But it's going all right

00:51:34Thank you

00:51:34Well not long until the players make their way out onto the pitch

00:51:39For their first Premier League game here at Anfield

00:51:41Jamie

00:51:41There's a lot of talk

00:51:43A lot of excitement from the Liverpool fans

00:51:44About those new signings

00:51:46We've talked a little bit about them

00:51:48But maybe in more general terms

00:51:49So let's hone in on Wirtz

00:51:51And what he can bring to Liverpool

00:51:53And where you think he fits in

00:51:55Well I think Liverpool last season in Sir Bosley

00:51:57They had a workman like number 10

00:51:59And when you think of some of the great number 10s

00:52:02In the Premier League in the last couple of years

00:52:03And I think of Liverpool's competitors

00:52:05I think of Odegaard at Arsenal

00:52:06I think of Kevin De Bruyne at Man City

00:52:08I think of Cole Palmer at Chelsea

00:52:10Liverpool didn't have that type of player

00:52:12They do have that now

00:52:13And what's quite interesting actually

00:52:15In the last couple of times

00:52:17Liverpool have won the Premier League

00:52:18With Arna Slott last season

00:52:20And Jürgen Klopp five years ago

00:52:22They probably didn't have

00:52:23A world-class attacking midfield player

00:52:26You know

00:52:26They were workmen like midfields

00:52:28And now they've certainly got that

00:52:29Now it might take something away from the team

00:52:31In another way

00:52:31But there'll definitely be a lot more creation

00:52:33In this Liverpool team

00:52:35Now Wirtz is there

00:52:36What would Par be for goals for this season

00:52:38For Wirtz?

00:52:40You'd want double figures wouldn't you

00:52:41I would imagine playing in that position

00:52:43You know

00:52:44Between the lines

00:52:45You're looking to thread people through

00:52:46But he's got to be getting goals

00:52:48But you just look at sort of Cole Palmer

00:52:49He's been an absolute revelation

00:52:51Since he's gone to Chelsea

00:52:52Look at his numbers

00:52:53So you'd want to be getting somewhere near that

00:52:55What do you think he has to do

00:52:57To kind of

00:52:58Justify is probably the wrong word

00:53:00Because the transfer fee isn't on him

00:53:02But to kind of

00:53:03Cement his place

00:53:05As Liverpool's record signing

00:53:06I think

00:53:06You could talk about individual

00:53:08Sort of achievements

00:53:09But I think Liverpool win the league

00:53:11I think that's the thing that you have to do

00:53:13Be part of a team that wins the league

00:53:14And I think to be fair

00:53:15You can sort of start to forgive then

00:53:16If he doesn't quite get as many goals

00:53:18As he should do

00:53:19But if he can play a full season

00:53:20Liverpool win the league

00:53:22Again back-to-back titles

00:53:23I think that would be the biggest achievement for him

00:53:25That he brings success to Liverpool in that way

00:53:28The other player obviously

00:53:29That is drawing all kinds of headlines

00:53:30Is Eketike

00:53:31And if Fjertz wasn't here

00:53:32He'd probably be the headline signing

00:53:34What do you think his role is

00:53:36Should someone like Alexander Isak come in

00:53:39What can he do

00:53:40Is he versatile enough to play elsewhere

00:53:42Rather than as a main striker

00:53:44Well Patrick Davidson spoke to Arna Slott

00:53:46A couple of days ago

00:53:47And asked him about that situation as well

00:53:50He said he's more than capable of

00:53:51Filling in for another striker

00:53:53Not so much Isak

00:53:54But he can play on the left

00:53:56And he could play in a front two

00:53:58Now the only thing for me

00:54:00But I've questioned the Isak thing

00:54:01A little bit

00:54:02Is I'm not quite sure

00:54:03Where the lad would get his minutes

00:54:04In his preferred position

00:54:05Which is up front

00:54:06Because it's hard to play the two of them

00:54:08Together up front

00:54:09Because you've got Vert in the number ten

00:54:11He's cost £115 million

00:54:13He's going to play every game he's fit

00:54:15And so would Isak

00:54:16So the lad would probably end up

00:54:18Filling in for Isak

00:54:19If he was the one who came in

00:54:20Or he would play some minutes on the left

00:54:22But I don't know if he'd ever

00:54:24Fulfill his full potential

00:54:25At the club

00:54:26If you buy someone

00:54:27Like an Isak

00:54:28Is your nervousness there

00:54:30Because Liverpool have always had

00:54:31It feels like a sort of

00:54:32A dominant striker

00:54:33Particularly in the last few years

00:54:35But for me

00:54:36Having three or four strikers

00:54:38Has always been the norm

00:54:39And the fact that you play

00:54:40You know

00:54:40Mainly Isak

00:54:42But then Iketike

00:54:42Still plays 20, 25 games

00:54:44He comes off the bench

00:54:45In another 20

00:54:46And he gets 45 games

00:54:47Is he washing nervousness

00:54:48Around Isak

00:54:49In terms of

00:54:49Listen

00:54:50I'm only thinking

00:54:51From a manager's point of view

00:54:52And being a player

00:54:53In a dressing room

00:54:53There's that hierarchy

00:54:54Of certain players

00:54:55We know

00:54:55There's five or six players

00:54:56Who play week in, week out

00:54:57When you spend that type of money

00:54:59Isak becomes one of them

00:55:00Like the goalkeeper

00:55:01Like Van Dijk

00:55:02Like McAllister in midfield

00:55:04Like Mo Salah

00:55:05So I sometimes think

00:55:06Sometimes you have competition

00:55:08For certain places

00:55:09And sometimes a player

00:55:10Is an understudy

00:55:10If Isak comes in for Liverpool

00:55:12Iketike is an understudy

00:55:13And £80 million for me

00:55:15Is a lot of money

00:55:15For an understudy

00:55:16I think that's the key thing

00:55:17That Jamie's just said

00:55:18At the end there

00:55:19When you pay £80 million

00:55:20That doesn't feel like

00:55:22An understudy price

00:55:23It feels like he should be

00:55:24A starting player

00:55:25But maybe Liverpool

00:55:26Are at a level now

00:55:27Where they've got the money

00:55:28They've got the team

00:55:29Where £80 million

00:55:30Is a second striker for them

00:55:31But that's the quality

00:55:32That they want to back up Isak

00:55:34If he was to get injured

00:55:34So maybe it's us

00:55:35Just psychologically

00:55:36Getting around the fact

00:55:37That we think of a backup striker

00:55:38Being around £30-40 million

00:55:40Or £25 million

00:55:41£80 million is a lot of money

00:55:42I wonder if also

00:55:44Given that the club

00:55:45Is spending record amounts

00:55:47Of money in this transfer window

00:55:48And as you both said

00:55:49Earlier on

00:55:49There is a longer term plan here

00:55:51Than just this season

00:55:52If it's about

00:55:53Maybe moving towards

00:55:54A different shape

00:55:55As time goes on

00:55:56And as

00:55:56Mohamed Salah's career

00:55:58At Liverpool

00:55:58Gets towards the latter stages

00:56:01Which obviously

00:56:01He's got the contract renewal now

00:56:03But on Salah

00:56:05There's a lot been said

00:56:06About him

00:56:06The relationship

00:56:07Between him and Virts

00:56:09Is going to be

00:56:09An interesting one to watch

00:56:10I know you highlighted

00:56:11The relationship

00:56:12Between him and Frimpong

00:56:13Particularly with the absence

00:56:15Of Alexander-Arnold

00:56:16But how do you think

00:56:16He relates to Mo Salah?

00:56:19Honestly I think

00:56:20When you're playing with someone

00:56:21That's world class

00:56:21Like Salah is

00:56:22Who's consistent

00:56:24And reliable

00:56:24At all times

00:56:25During the season

00:56:26These young players

00:56:27That are coming in

00:56:28That are untested

00:56:29There is a bit of pressure

00:56:30On them with the price tags

00:56:31I just think

00:56:32It gives them

00:56:32That comfort blanket

00:56:33That safety net

00:56:34That you need

00:56:35When you're a young player

00:56:36Trying to bed yourself

00:56:36Into a football club

00:56:37You walk into that dressing room

00:56:39You see Alison

00:56:39Van Dijk and Salah

00:56:40The rest of the players

00:56:42Can feel that

00:56:43They're pretty much okay

00:56:44I've been there

00:56:45As a young player

00:56:45At United

00:56:46When we have some

00:56:46Incredible players

00:56:47And you just gain strength

00:56:48From it

00:56:49I think great players

00:56:50Like playing with each other

00:56:51And I always remember

00:56:52When great strikers

00:56:53Used to come to the club

00:56:54The connection

00:56:56Used to have with

00:56:56Steven Gerard

00:56:57Whether that was

00:56:58Michael Owen

00:56:58Fernando Torres

00:56:59Luis Suarez

00:57:00And I saw something

00:57:01In pre-season

00:57:02I don't see too often

00:57:03Mo Salah

00:57:04It felt like

00:57:05He was permanently

00:57:05Trying to pass

00:57:06To Vert

00:57:07When he was in

00:57:07Good goalscoring positions

00:57:08Now that's not

00:57:09The Mo Salah

00:57:09I know

00:57:10Or any of us

00:57:11Know too much

00:57:12But sometimes

00:57:12It's that feeling

00:57:13When you've got a great player

00:57:14You always want to connect

00:57:15You always want to give him

00:57:16The ball

00:57:16Because you know

00:57:17What the end outcome

00:57:18Is going to be

00:57:19You asked on a slot

00:57:20About Frimpong

00:57:21What are your thoughts

00:57:22Gary

00:57:22On how that

00:57:23Changes the dynamic

00:57:24It was interesting

00:57:25Because I was asking

00:57:25Cara about it

00:57:26He's obviously watched

00:57:27Quite a few of the pre-season games

00:57:28And you always remember

00:57:29Mo Salah being out

00:57:30On that wide area

00:57:31And Trent Alexander-Arnold

00:57:32Coming inside

00:57:33Into a midfield position

00:57:34So that he could

00:57:34Whip those crosses in

00:57:35Or switch play

00:57:36And the way in which

00:57:37Obviously it's been

00:57:38In pre-season

00:57:39And which aren't a slot

00:57:40Is it's going to be

00:57:40Maybe a bit old fashioned

00:57:41Where Salah comes inside

00:57:43A little bit

00:57:43And Frimpong goes on the outside

00:57:45And has that little

00:57:46Bit of an ability

00:57:47To beat players

00:57:47Look

00:57:48It mesmerises me nowadays

00:57:50What full-backs can do

00:57:51In terms of the ask of them

00:57:52The way they play on the ball

00:57:54They're up the pitch

00:57:55They're back

00:57:55The energy's huge

00:57:56The way in which

00:57:57They sort of

00:57:57Deliver into the final third

00:57:59I want to see him defend

00:58:02Of course I want to see him defend

00:58:03I want to see him

00:58:03Sort of put under pressure

00:58:05Maybe that won't happen

00:58:06As much tonight

00:58:06He'll get a little bit of that

00:58:08But when you play away

00:58:08From home in the Premier League

00:58:09It's a big ask

00:58:10So how he settles in away

00:58:11From home in the Premier League

00:58:12Obviously Kerkis has played

00:58:13In the Premier League for a bit

00:58:14So it's not as difficult for him

00:58:15But that'll be the big ask

00:58:16I would think

00:58:17Wouldn't it

00:58:17Yeah it will be

00:58:18And people have mentioned

00:58:20He's not a full-back

00:58:21He's a wing-back

00:58:21You think of the system

00:58:22That he played with

00:58:22Xavi Alonso

00:58:23By Leverkusen

00:58:25Now I've been a little bit

00:58:26Worried about some of his

00:58:27Start positions

00:58:28I mean both of us

00:58:28Has played in that position

00:58:29Probably a completely

00:58:30Different player

00:58:30To what Frimpong is

00:58:31And he's seen at times

00:58:33Actually as a right winger

00:58:34I think there's talk

00:58:34When Sarra goes to AFCON

00:58:36He may feel in that position

00:58:37But I think that's something

00:58:39That Bournemouth

00:58:39I think they can maybe

00:58:40Get a little bit of joy

00:58:41But that's

00:58:42That's something

00:58:43Liverpool have had to deal

00:58:44With for years now

00:58:44With people thinking

00:58:45They can get in behind

00:58:46Liverpool's right full-back

00:58:47Yeah so similar

00:58:48And maybe the only way

00:58:49Similar to Trent Alexander-Arnold

00:58:50Is that he's an unorthodox

00:58:52Right-back

00:58:53What about on the other side

00:58:54With Kerkers

00:58:55What have they got

00:58:56With

00:58:56What have they got

00:58:58From him

00:58:58Well I think

00:58:59Arguably the best left-back

00:59:01In the Premier League

00:59:02Last season

00:59:02He's still young

00:59:03He's very aggressive

00:59:04He wouldn't need to mature

00:59:06And at times

00:59:06Put the brakes on

00:59:07When he's going in

00:59:07To close people down

00:59:08But listen

00:59:09He's fantastic

00:59:10At overlapping

00:59:11And getting forward

00:59:11And that's what

00:59:12Arna Slott wants

00:59:13From his full-backs

00:59:14But he will know

00:59:15The opposition well

00:59:16And obviously the manager

00:59:17From the opposition

00:59:18Bournemouth tonight

00:59:18Will know him really well also

00:59:20I didn't mention

00:59:21Andy Robertson before

00:59:22By the way

00:59:22When he talked about

00:59:23Basically those players

00:59:24In the dressing room

00:59:24Of Van Dijk

00:59:25Obviously

00:59:25Alisson and Salah

00:59:27But he's going to be

00:59:27Really important

00:59:28Obviously not just as

00:59:29Back-up to him

00:59:30But he's a real good pro

00:59:32And I think you can't

00:59:32Have enough of those

00:59:33Types of players

00:59:34I know there's a thing

00:59:34Nowadays maybe

00:59:35That players don't like

00:59:36Being on the bench

00:59:37And they like to sort of

00:59:38Move when they get

00:59:39To the end of their careers

00:59:39And sort of play

00:59:40Somewhere else

00:59:41I think if Andy Robertson

00:59:42Can stay this season

00:59:43And play 25-30 matches

00:59:44He'll contribute

00:59:45Enormously to Liverpool

00:59:46Particularly backing

00:59:47That ladder

00:59:47When we talk about

00:59:49Players coming in

00:59:50We talk about the

00:59:51Importance of

00:59:51Premier League experience

00:59:52When you bring in

00:59:54Players like

00:59:55Birx and like

00:59:55Eketike

00:59:56Who played on

00:59:57The European stage

00:59:59How much of a difference

01:00:01Does Premier League

01:00:02Experience make

01:00:03If you've already

01:00:04Played at that level

01:00:05So what's the value

01:00:06That Kirk has

01:00:07I think Premier League

01:00:09Experience I think

01:00:10Is vital in terms

01:00:11Of just understanding

01:00:12The leagues

01:00:12Being around the grounds

01:00:13But I think particularly

01:00:14So why is it different

01:00:15Is what I'm trying to ask

01:00:16In a more concise way

01:00:17So in terms of

01:00:18If you've got top level

01:00:19Experience

01:00:20Why is top level

01:00:21Premier League

01:00:22Experience different

01:00:23I just think

01:00:23Getting used to the game

01:00:24Over here

01:00:25The speed of the game

01:00:26I think the grounds

01:00:26The crowds

01:00:27Everything that obviously

01:00:28We do over here

01:00:29Is different than

01:00:30In other countries

01:00:30I spent a brief time

01:00:32Over in a different country

01:00:33And found it very

01:00:34Very difficult

01:00:34Very brief

01:00:36You're not just asking

01:00:37A player to come

01:00:39And settle into

01:00:39The Premier League

01:00:40You're asking them

01:00:40To come in

01:00:41And settle at Liverpool

01:00:42Massive expectations

01:00:43A ferocious crowd

01:00:45That demand good football players

01:00:46So obviously

01:00:47Playing in the Premier League

01:00:48For Kirk has

01:00:49I've said the same

01:00:49About Embermo

01:00:50United

01:00:51And Cunha

01:00:52I think it's helpful

01:00:53That they've been

01:00:53In the Premier League

01:00:54That they've been

01:00:54Around the block

01:00:55And they understand

01:00:56The grounds

01:00:56And how the league works

01:00:57You know

01:00:58Who are the players

01:00:58That they're going to

01:00:59Be playing against

01:00:59And the physicality

01:01:00So just

01:01:01Beds you in

01:01:02There's more of a risk

01:01:03On Fring Pong

01:01:03Than there is on Kirk has

01:01:04Just purely because

01:01:05We've seen Kirk has

01:01:06In the league

01:01:06And he's competed

01:01:07Against some of the players

01:01:08That he's going to

01:01:08Come up against

01:01:09I mean you've talked

01:01:10About how attacking

01:01:11This Liverpool line-up looks

01:01:12And how attacking it looks

01:01:14As though Arna Slott

01:01:14Wants them to be

01:01:15What's the danger

01:01:17Of that against Bournemouth

01:01:18Is this the kind of team

01:01:19That you can go

01:01:20On the front foot against

01:01:22Yeah

01:01:23I mean

01:01:23I go back to something

01:01:24Pep Guardiola said

01:01:25Last season

01:01:26He was actually talking

01:01:26About his own football

01:01:27And saying

01:01:27This is not the football

01:01:28Anymore of the Premier League

01:01:29The football is

01:01:30What Bournemouth are playing

01:01:31End to end

01:01:32Full of intensity

01:01:34He's the man who knows

01:01:35A lot more about it than me

01:01:37And Tony good to see you

01:01:39Thanks so much for coming over

01:01:40Actually

01:01:40Jamie was just talking

01:01:42About Pep Guardiola's comments

01:01:43Last season

01:01:44That Bournemouth's style of football

01:01:45Was the style of football

01:01:47That is what the Premier League is now

01:01:49How different is it

01:01:51For you in these pre-season preparations

01:01:53With a whole

01:01:55Well three of the back four

01:01:56Have changed

01:01:57And the goalkeeper

01:01:58Yes it's a difficult moment

01:02:00Difficult period

01:02:00Especially these next two weeks

01:02:02I think there is a lot of uncertainty

01:02:04But we have to adapt

01:02:06At the end

01:02:06We cannot just look at the negative side

01:02:09We don't have these players

01:02:10No no

01:02:10We have new players

01:02:11We will have even more players

01:02:12And we have to build something again

01:02:14And probably it's not where you want to start

01:02:17Even if it's exciting

01:02:18But let's see where we are

01:02:20And I think this game also will give us

01:02:22Some more information

01:02:23How far along that road

01:02:25Of getting the players ready

01:02:26Can you get in pre-season

01:02:28Just working with them

01:02:29In pre-season matches

01:02:30And on the training ground

01:02:31Pre-season is always difficult

01:02:33Even if you have good games

01:02:34Good results

01:02:35I think today

01:02:38We will know more about our team

01:02:39We are facing the Champions

01:02:42Anfield

01:02:43First game of the Premier League

01:02:45A lot of eyes watching

01:02:47Especially Liverpool

01:02:48But also us

01:02:49And I think for the players

01:02:51You cannot ask for much more

01:02:53Than start here

01:02:53You just said your job's been made

01:02:55A lot more difficult

01:02:56Because of the losses in defence

01:02:57He lost the Barney

01:02:59To Paris Saint-Germain

01:03:01He had four years left

01:03:02On his contract

01:03:03Is that something that needed to happen

01:03:05Or was it just a case

01:03:05Of the opportunity for the player

01:03:07Was too big

01:03:07I think it's difficult

01:03:09When someone like PSG

01:03:11Winning the Champions League

01:03:12Comes from one of your players

01:03:14It's a matter of

01:03:15If they match

01:03:16You're asking price or not

01:03:18And it has been like

01:03:19A long summer

01:03:20But I knew that

01:03:22It was going to happen

01:03:23Because this kind of club

01:03:24They don't lose a player

01:03:25For three, four, five million

01:03:27And luckily for us

01:03:29I'm very happy for him

01:03:30But it's going to be a big miss

01:03:31Yes

01:03:32Does that mean tonight

01:03:33That your best form of defence

01:03:35Could be attack?

01:03:36You've got really good attacking players

01:03:37On the pitch

01:03:38We will try

01:03:39I don't know if Liverpool

01:03:41Will allow us

01:03:41Sometimes you want to play a game

01:03:43And we also

01:03:44Always are quite proactive

01:03:46And we will be ourselves

01:03:48But sometimes

01:03:48You are not good enough

01:03:50To do it

01:03:50And you have to defend

01:03:51And if we have to defend

01:03:52We will also do it

01:03:53But I think

01:03:55Our best way of playing

01:03:56Is trying to be aggressive also

01:03:58And make them sometimes

01:04:00Also run backwards

01:04:01Diakite

01:04:02He's the replacement

01:04:03You've mentioned

01:04:04Two centre-backs going as well

01:04:05What can you tell us about him

01:04:06Starting tonight?

01:04:08Yes

01:04:08I think he's

01:04:08He's a great defender

01:04:10For me

01:04:10It was probably risky

01:04:12To make him start

01:04:13Straight away here

01:04:14Just playing with us

01:04:15Two days

01:04:16But he has the experience

01:04:18Even being young

01:04:19He played here

01:04:19Past season

01:04:20In the Champions League

01:04:21He will know

01:04:22The atmosphere

01:04:23And I hope

01:04:24He can give us his level

01:04:26We know he has level

01:04:26It's going to be

01:04:28A little bit harsh for him

01:04:29Because he doesn't have

01:04:30These connections

01:04:31These things that you need

01:04:33With the teammates

01:04:33But we trust the player

01:04:36And I hope he performs well

01:04:38It's going to be a big game

01:04:40As well for Trifar

01:04:40I think he's probably

01:04:41The player that has been

01:04:43Most highly rated

01:04:44Certainly coming into Bournemouth

01:04:46Is that what you found

01:04:46Is that what you expect

01:04:47From him

01:04:48Yes Adrian I think

01:04:49Is a deal that

01:04:50Is what you want to do

01:04:52Before almost losing Milos

01:04:54We already had him

01:04:55And the transition

01:04:56Has been quite smooth

01:04:57Has been with us

01:04:58All the pre-season

01:04:59Has played all the games

01:05:00And I think he's adapted

01:05:02Really well to the team

01:05:03Who we have today

01:05:04Like all

01:05:05A bit difficult job

01:05:07Against Mossada

01:05:08But I hope he does well

01:05:10And he finds a way

01:05:11To survive

01:05:12What does success look like

01:05:14This season?

01:05:14I really don't know

01:05:16I really don't know

01:05:18You ask me a lot

01:05:18Goals and these things

01:05:20I don't trust

01:05:21In the long-term goals

01:05:23I think

01:05:24We have to be competitive

01:05:25As quickly as we can

01:05:26Now there is a

01:05:27Two, three weeks

01:05:28Period that I don't like

01:05:31Where you have to adapt

01:05:32But from there

01:05:33I think

01:05:34I trust the club

01:05:35And we will have

01:05:36Again another

01:05:37Different

01:05:38But another

01:05:39Good team

01:05:40And I hope

01:05:41We can be

01:05:41I don't know

01:05:41If we are going to be

01:05:42As good as per season

01:05:43But

01:05:43I don't think

01:05:46We should

01:05:46Straight away say

01:05:47No, it's going to be impossible

01:05:48Anthony

01:05:49Really good to talk to you

01:05:50Thank you

01:05:51Thank you so much

01:05:51For your time

01:05:52Thanks very much

01:05:53Always interesting

01:05:55To hear what he has to say

01:05:57Always seems like

01:05:57A very honest manager

01:05:58And very straightforward

01:05:59And what he's saying

01:06:01Feels realistic

01:06:03He's saying the players

01:06:04Might not be quite ready

01:06:06For the Premier League

01:06:06Just yet

01:06:07But is that to be expected?

01:06:08I think he's absolutely right

01:06:09He's saying basically

01:06:10He needs three or four weeks

01:06:11Not just to get games

01:06:12In these players' belts

01:06:13But actually to work with them

01:06:14On the training pitch

01:06:15And build that back four

01:06:16Into something

01:06:16That looks like a unit

01:06:17Well there's more build up

01:06:19To come from Anfield

01:06:21As we head into

01:06:21The last 20 minutes

01:10:54Watch the U.S. Open

01:10:56Live on Sky Sports

01:10:58New season

01:11:06New season

01:11:06New faces

01:11:07Milos Kerkes

01:11:08Formerly of Bournemouth

01:11:10Starts against this old club

01:11:11For Liverpool

01:11:12This evening

01:11:12Emmanuel

01:11:14Jeremy Frimpong

01:11:15Comes into the side

01:11:16In the place

01:11:17That was vacated

01:11:19By Trent Alexander-Arnold

01:11:20Now playing at Real Madrid

01:11:22And Liverpool

01:11:22Looking for goals

01:11:23From Hugo Eketike

01:11:25Who scored in the

01:11:26Community Shield

01:11:27Last weekend

01:11:27And from club record

01:11:29Signing

01:11:29Florian Vets

01:11:31And changes for Bournemouth

01:11:35As well

01:11:36With three

01:11:37Of the back four

01:11:38Looking different

01:11:39From last season

01:11:40Petrovic starts

01:11:42Trofa comes in

01:11:44In place of Kerkes

01:11:46Who now a Liverpool player

01:11:47And there's also

01:11:48A start in the centre

01:11:49Of defence

01:11:49For Bofode

01:11:50Diakite

01:11:51Gary

01:11:56Difficult to

01:11:56Judge this one

01:11:58With new faces

01:11:58On the pitch

01:12:00But when you look

01:12:00At those two sides

01:12:01What's your feeling

01:12:02On tonight

01:12:03How's it going to go

01:12:03Where's it going to be

01:12:04Won and lost

01:12:05Look I feel really

01:12:06Confident tonight

01:12:07This is going to be

01:12:07A fantastic game

01:12:08With lots of attack

01:12:09In play

01:12:09Lots of goals

01:12:10Excited to watch

01:12:12Verts and Eketike

01:12:13And how they settle in

01:12:14You don't normally

01:12:15See so much change

01:12:16In the championship

01:12:16The team that's won

01:12:18The champions

01:12:18Who were the champions

01:12:20Last season

01:12:20Frimpong

01:12:21Got right back

01:12:21I think it's interesting

01:12:22But I think for Bournemouth

01:12:23As well

01:12:24Their best players

01:12:24Are in attack

01:12:25And I love the idea

01:12:26Of this game

01:12:27Being sort of end to end

01:12:28And both teams

01:12:29Going for it

01:12:29And trying to score more goals

01:12:30Than the other

01:12:31I don't think we're going to see

01:12:32Teams sat behind the ball

01:12:33And defending deep

01:12:34And I think Arnes slot

01:12:35Had a great first season

01:12:36Last year

01:12:37Maybe there's a little bit

01:12:38More pressure on him

01:12:38This season

01:12:39Because of what to expect

01:12:40But he's got such a great group

01:12:42For players

01:12:43He's got fantastic

01:12:44World-class senior players

01:12:45In Alisson

01:12:46Van Dijk and Salah

01:12:48So if you're a Liverpool fan tonight

01:12:50You're looking for a real great start

01:12:52To see that

01:12:52Liverpool win comfortably

01:12:53As much as there are a lot of players

01:12:55Coming in

01:12:56There are also a lot of players

01:12:58Out

01:12:58Particularly at Bournemouth

01:13:00And so with all those

01:13:01Those changes

01:13:02Is there a sense

01:13:03That these are two sides

01:13:04Who aren't quite at the

01:13:05Peak of what they're going to do

01:13:07This season

01:13:07They're going to get better

01:13:08We've just heard about Bournemouth

01:13:09There

01:13:10I think he needs three or four weeks

01:13:11More to work with that back line

01:13:13And that's understandable

01:13:14So they're not going to be perfect tonight

01:13:15Liverpool are obviously

01:13:16They're going to get better

01:13:17The more these players

01:13:18Combine with each other

01:13:19And play together

01:13:20So yeah

01:13:20It's not going to be perfect

01:13:21But I think that could help

01:13:22The game in some ways

01:13:23Be a bit more unpredictable

01:13:24What will we learn

01:13:26From this game tonight

01:13:27Will we learn whether or not

01:13:29Liverpool are going to be able

01:13:30To defend their title

01:13:31Will it be that strong?

01:13:32No

01:13:32Because I think

01:13:33I'd expect Liverpool to win tonight

01:13:34Irrespective of what's going to happen

01:13:35Later on

01:13:36There's a lot more difficult

01:13:37Games to come

01:13:38But I think just seeing

01:13:39How the new players bed in

01:13:40How they handle Anfield

01:13:41In a Premier League game

01:13:43Virts, Eketike, Frimpong

01:13:45You know

01:13:46Kerkiaz obviously

01:13:47Coming from Bournemouth

01:13:48They're big nights

01:13:49You know

01:13:49Making your debut
