The Athletic's James Pearce, Simon Hughes and Caoimhe O'Neill join Steve Hothersall to look back on Liverpool's victory over West Ham, which saw them return to the top of the Premier League.

They discuss the excellent form of Mo Salah, and ask if people are being far too critical of him after winning another penalty this weekend.

They debate whether Roberto Firmino is now set lose his place in the starting 11 to Diogo Jota. And they look at the other title contenders, and ask who will be competing with The Reds at the end of the season.

Plus, they have the latest of the fitness of Fabinho, who should return after the international break
