James Pearce and Simon Hughes are alongside Tony Evans for your weekly Walk On podcast ahead of the return of Premier League action.

Before looking ahead to Brighton's visit to Anfield on Sunday the panel look back on the weekend's action as Liverpool Legends beat Ajax Legends 4-2 with Fernando Torres scoring in front of the Kop on his Anfield return, as we consider how he's remembered at Liverpool following his controversial move to Chelsea in January 2011.

Meanwhile, with Richard Hughes being confirmed as the club's new sporting director, as of June 1st, we assess the list of priorities he has with Liverpool in need of a successor for Jurgen Klopp, a number of key players heading into the final 12 months of their current deals as well as having to navigate the summer transfer window.

Plus, there's a head-to-head between James and Simon in an inaugural Walk On quiz. Enjoy!
