Kick-off the build-up to Sunday's massive match at Old Trafford with the latest Poetry in Motion podcast, hosted as ever by Neil Fitzmaurice and featuring Theo Squires and Paul Wheelock. But before the panel get stuck into the Manchester United clash, they bask in Liverpool's perfect start to the Premier League season and wonder whether it has broken Manchester City. Fitzy also questions the defending champions' failure to replace their captain - with a player all too well known to Reds fans - before talk turns to struggling rivals United. This feels like the perfect chance to rub the Red Devils' nose in it, but Fitzy doesn't want that to happen and explains why. Theo then explains why it's a different Gini Wijnaldum for Liverpool and Holland, there's a bit of a transfer speculation involving Kai Havertz and Philippe Coutinho, and a lot of love for Adrian, even if the goalkeeper is set to lose his place between the posts.
