Liverpool have been in fine form this season, with the club winning all three of their Premier League games so far.
Indeed, they may have lost the Community Shield against Crystal Palace at the start of the season, but since this is seen as a glorified friendly by most, Liverpool’s fans haven’t been all that worried.
Several members of Arne Slot’s first-team squad have put in impressive performances this term, and now that there are more or less two players who deserve to start in every position, the competition within the squad has never been so high.
Although the Reds’ main goal this term will likely be to win the Champions League, they’ll also want to retain the Premier League title to try and prove themselves as the best team in the world.

However, it’s neither of them that Slot must start against Burnley in their next Premier League clash.
Although Dominik Szoboszlai has been playing out of position since the start of the 2025-26 season, the form he has shown has been exceptional.
The midfielder has been used at right-back by Slot due to the injuries that Joe Gomez, Conor Bradley and Jeremie Frimpong all suffered.
In Liverpool’s case, Szoboszlai brings an extra layer of creativity to the game and, with the way things have panned out for the Reds in their games so far, the more chances they get, the better.
At the moment, it’s anyone’s guess what could happen, but for now, it feels like Szoboszlai should start no matter what.
That is, especially since Slot has dubbed him an “unbelievable” player himself.
