Ahead of the home match against Nottingham Forest, Liverpool have taken a perfect nine points from nine possible following their week three thrashing of arch-rival Manchester United. They are one of just two sides to have done so, with Manchester City, predictably the other. New manager Arne Slot has kept it going, at least in early days, during his first season in charge.
They’re playing a different style, in a different way, but still looking in top form.
