Liverpool face a Manchester City side this weekend, a game which would grab the attention of the nation regardless, with City having been found guilty of cheating by the Premier League facing a side that ran them so close on various occasions, the eyes of the nation will be glued to a fixture that promises a powder keg of an atmosphere - but with so many questions hanging over Manchester City, should this fixture even be played at all and what can we expect when the side found guilty of 114 of the 115 charges levelled at them roll in to Anfield?
To discuss all the above, Neil Atkinson is joined by John Gibbons and also Brian Reade to talk not just about the weekend's clash, but also his new book 'The Kop' which explores how and why the Kop became the globally-renowned stand it is today.
Also on the show, Neil chats to Charles and Andrew Hendy of 'The Mary Wallopers' to talk about their James Skelly produced new album 'Paddywhackery'.
