The Reds have already opened up a five-point advantage after merely five matches, preserving a perfect record in the Premier League.

Their triumph in the Merseyside derby further cemented their impressive beginning to defending their crown.

Arne Slot's side continues to perform whilst their competitors falter and surrender points during these early weeks of the campaign.

Liverpool sent out a powerful message from the outset by beating Arsenal at Anfield, creating a modest buffer at the summit.

Presently, the defending champions sit five points clear of Arsenal, seven points ahead of Chelsea, and eight points above City.

This follows Liverpool's expenditure on fresh talent, smashing the British transfer record on two occasions to land Florian Wirtz and Alexander Isak, with the Blues boss now fearing that the Reds might be establishing too commanding a lead, despite only a handful of weeks having passed.

"They have been doing a fantastic job since last year, and the players they have decided to buy shows the intention of the club to go again for the Premier League and the Champions League, and that is quite clear."

Liverpool's impeccable start to the season has spilled over into their European conquests

They snatched a win in their first Champions League match against Atletico Madrid at Anfield.

Despite relinquishing a 2-0 lead, the Merseyside outfit clinched victory in stoppage time with Virgil van Dijk heading home the winner.

The Reds are on a quest to claim consecutive league titles for the first time since the 1980s and are well-placed to do so at this juncture
