Liverpool will be really pleased with the way the new Premier League season has started in terms of results. If the Reds win all three of their remaining games, it might be challenging, but staying under the radar is not necessarily a bad thing.
With only five games played, Chelsea and Manchester United are the clubs that are now closest to being in a crisis (yet). Manchester City is currently in the lead while Spurs are currently ahead of Liverpool in the table (on goals scored).
Liverpool will play West Ham United the next weekend, followed by Tottenham and Brighton. Although Jürgen Klopp’s team will need to take it one step at a time, earning the maximum points there might indicate a team is ready to launch another title challenge.
Liverpool will play two Europa League group games — against LASK on Wednesday in Austria and Union Saint-Gilloise at Anfield on the fifth of next month — in addition to games against those three teams before the October international break.
Here are two Liverpool.com stories from today that you shouldn’t miss, as there has already been talk of a title push in some circles.
Regarding Liverpool, Joe Cole and Peter Crouch concur.
Is it too soon to consider Liverpool’s chances of winning the title this year? Not in the opinion of TNT Sports analysts Peter Crouch and Joe Cole, who both believe the Reds can get close.
“I believe Liverpool can challenge City [the most].” They’ll be closer because Arsenal is also improving, Cole said. Even while I want to give respect to Liverpool for their hiring, Jürgen Klopp for the job it seems like he’s already done, and [Mikel] Arteta at Arsenal, I believe a lot depends on how City respond.
City are unquestionably the team to defeat, said fellow analyst Peter Crouch. City will likely have just too much, but Liverpool is right back in the mix if you consider how they played last year and the advancements they’ve made.
Liverpool has accomplished another coup in the transfer market.
The new season has gotten off to an impressive start for Dominik Szoboszlai. The 22-year-old joined his new team at Anfield over the summer after signing a $76 million (£61 million/€70 million) contract.
Peter Crouch, a former Liverpool striker, responded to a question about the Hungarian this week by saying, “I love him.” “I’m joining the bandwagon right away. Naturally, I have many Liverpool supporters among my friends and many Scousers still living in my family, and they all adore him.
He is a gentleman. I was impressed by how well he has adjusted to playing at Anfield despite the fact that I had only briefly seen him before he joined Liverpool. He immediately stood out there, even in the first game. He was like a Rolls Royce. He is a gentleman. He’s that good; he might end up being one of the season’s signings.
