Dave Davis returns with another packed edition of Newsround on Anfield Index, covering the latest Liverpool FC news, transfer developments and contract negotiations during the November international break.

Julian Ward faces a growing list of important decisions as Virgil van Dijk, Alisson Becker and Alexis Mac Allister all make their intentions clear regarding their Liverpool futures.

Could Julian Ward bring forward a January move to strengthen Andoni Iraola's midfield?

Dave also discusses Dominik Szoboszlai's injury concerns on international duty, potential Saudi interest in Jeremie Frimpong, Endrick's Real Madrid future and Liverpool's scouting activity involving exciting young talents.
