Arne Slot’s side are seemingly up to the test with stats suggesting those with a five point gap at this stage, make great candidates to be Premier League champions.
The Reds are going about it well already and are continue to battle every week to sit on top of the table.

00:00So, Will, looking at Liverpool's fixtures, obviously, we mentioned this tough run and
00:07they've come through with flying colours. How do you reflect on it? How are fans feeling
00:12about it? The gap that they've got at the top of the Premier League is starting to just
00:17get wider with Manchester City and Arsenal making a few errors as well.
00:22Yes, I think everyone has made a point that Liverpool's fixture list from the last international
00:30break to the one that's upon us now was very difficult. When Liverpool had this start to
00:36the season under Arnaud Slot, there was a track to say, well, they haven't played anyone
00:40yet and to be fair to Arnaud Slot as well, he said it a couple of times in his press
00:44conference that a lot of the teams that he played with were down the bottom end of the
00:49table. But from the last international break to this one, they've played Chelsea, they've
00:56beaten them, they've beaten the German champions Bayer Leverkusen, RB Leipzig who were flying
01:03in the Bundesliga, Brighton twice. We've seen what Brighton did to Manchester City at the
01:08weekend and they've beaten Aston Villa as well, fairly comfortably at Anfield. The only
01:13point that they have dropped was a 2-2 draw at Arsenal, which I don't think that's a bad
01:18result at all, is it? Drawing away at your title rivals when you probably weren't your
01:23best rival, especially in the first half of that game. So, I suppose they've got some
01:28tricky fixtures after the next international break, Manchester City, Newcastle to come
01:33and the Merseyside derby. But Liverpool have certainly shown that they can compete with
01:40any team in the Premier League, any team in Europe. I think they will have a wobble at
01:46one stage a little bit. It always happens to any team, maybe really can't pick up wins
01:56for a couple of weeks, but it's about how Liverpool can quickly bounce back after that
02:00and what Arnold Slotkin can do. Liverpool fans are going into every game now believing
02:06that they can win it, especially when they're going to be playing Real Madrid and Manchester
02:10City when the season recommences after the international break.
02:15So on that, six goals conceded, by far the least goals conceded in the league as well.
02:22This is something that must be really charging, their sort of fluent attack. Obviously, we
02:27mentioned it's a bit more of a steady approach under Arnie Schlott. It's all sort of coming
02:32together, it seems, at the right time. I know it's obviously early on, but the fans must
02:36be so excited.
02:37Yeah, they are. There's a perfect balance, really. Maybe in January they might look to
02:43adjust in the field. Obviously, they wanted Super Mendy in the summer, and did they still
02:49want to add to the engine room? But overall, it was a real good mix, and I think that's
02:55why confidence has grown among supporters.
