As we enter another international break, Liverpool’s position atop both the Premier League and the Champions League looks mightily impressive.

Who would have thought Arne Slot would have started so well? And even when the first jolt came along, a home defeat by Nottingham Forest, they have responded brilliantly.

There is a long way to go of course, but the next Premier League game is against Southampton and that is followed by the visit of Manchester City. If Liverpool win both of those games, then the gap between themselves and City would be a minimum of eight points.

That would not win Liverpool the league but it would give them a great platform to take into the rest of December and the new year.

Let’s not get ahead of ourselves. The last thing Slot or the players want is title talk. It is far too early for that. The first job will be to win at Southampton and no Premier League game is a given.

There are exciting times ahead, the Reds are in great form, scoring goals and not conceding too many.

But as the old adage goes, it is all about the next game!
