Dave Davis and Lewis Steele turn their attention to Liverpool's developing transfer plans in the latest edition of Media Matters.

Could Alex Scott become one of Liverpool's major targets next summer? Lewis discusses the Bournemouth midfielder's development, Liverpool's interest and the potentially fierce competition for his signature, with Chelsea and other major clubs expected to be involved. Despite Scott potentially entering the final year of his contract, Bournemouth's negotiating position means the eventual price could still be enormous.

There's also discussion around Liverpool's right-back situation, with another addition expected to be considered in the summer as the club search for the right balance of defensive strength and quality in possession.

Dave and Lewis also examine the longer-term squad picture, including the futures of Alisson and Virgil van Dijk and the major decisions facing Liverpool as they continue planning the next evolution of the squad.

Dave Davis and Lewis Steele look ahead to a potentially season-defining showdown between Liverpool and Manchester City in the latest Media Matters.

Victory at Anfield would transform the picture for Liverpool, potentially cutting City's advantage to just three points and providing Andoni Iraola's side with the statement victory they have been searching for. Defeat, however, could leave Liverpool facing a significant early-season gap to both City and Arsenal.

Lewis assesses where Liverpool currently stand, the importance of getting key players back from injury and why the coming run could tell us considerably more about this team's ambitions. With difficult fixtures ahead and competition for places intensifying, Liverpool now need players to establish themselves and deliver consistently.

There's also a final look towards Liverpool's longer-term squad planning, with right-back and midfield remaining areas to address as the club look ahead towards the summer transfer window.
