This win has put them third in the top-flight table, and, although it’s still early days, it’s clear that it’s going to be a competitive campaign for most teams in the league.

Even though Liverpool have spent over £250million on trying to improve their ranks this summer, it’s unclear whether the sales of players such as Luis Diaz will come back to bite them.
“Arne [Slot] has got some thinking and sorting out to do because a few things cropped up in the three games – if you include the [Community Shield] game against Crystal Palace,” he said.

“Aerially, you would think Liverpool were going to be dominant with Virgil van Dijk and Ibrahima Konate in there, but they look a little bit vulnerable at times.
“It’s good that they are winning, but there is still room for Arne to do some work.”
One player who has been consistently linked with a Liverpool transfer this summer is Marc Guehi.

Indeed, Joe Gomez is another senior option that Liverpool could use, but since his injury history leaves a lot to be desired, it’s unclear whether he’s going to be readily available throughout the 2025-26 campaign.
Of course, only time will tell what the future has in store, but if a new centre-back isn’t brought in by Slot and Richard Hughes this summer, it could cost them everything.
