The Athletic's James Pearce, Simon Hughes and Caoimhe O'Neill discuss Liverpool's plans to re-shape the Premier League and English football as a whole.

Is John W. Henry onto a good idea? Or is it a simple power grab when the lower league's are at their most vulnerable?

They also mark the 5th anniversary of Jurgen Klopp's appointment as Reds boss. And they look ahead to the derby this weekend.
