Liverpool fans are entering the international break safe in the knowledge that we are top of the league after a perfect start and Micah Richards has been very impressed.

After watching Jurgen Klopp get this same squad into a title race last season, it shouldn’t be too much of a surprise that Arne Slot can do the same with these players.
