Liverpool have made themselves the team to beat once again after starting their Premier League campaign off in perfect fashion.
The Reds have earned nine points from their opening three top-flight games, with players such as Hugo Ekitike becoming the stars of the team.
And, now that players such as Alexander Isak are also among their ranks, Liverpool have an even better chance of retaining the Premier League title.
In the end, Dominik Szoboszlai was deployed at right-back and while he isn’t as fast as players such as Jeremie Frimpong and Conor Bradley, his keen eye for goal and his defensive contributions more than make up for it.
One player who Liverpool can’t really do without is Alexis Mac Allister.
This season, the Argentine has already missed a hefty chunk of the campaign, and although players such as Florian Wirtz and Curtis Jones can fill in for him, the Argentine’s creative spark is massively missed.

The centre-midfielder has quickly become one of Arne Slot’s most important players, which is why the recent update on his fitness from Argentina’s manager, Lionel Scaloni, will be music to Liverpool’s ears.
“Regarding the presence of Mac Allister, the coach admitted that the midfielder isn’t 100 per cent fit, but hinted that he’ll be among the starters because he’s fine,” he said in quotes relayed by ESPN Argentina.
Not only is his range of passing crucial to the way that Liverpool start a lot of their attacks, but his work rate is sorely missed when he isn’t starting.
