Both Liverpool and Arsenal can be pleased with how they have started the new Premier League season. Liverpool has the most points — 15 from a possible 18 — and has already got tricky fixtures like Arsenal, Newcastle and Everton out of the way.

Arsenal, meanwhile, lost to Liverpool but has already faced Manchester City and had its own big moment late on at St James' Park. Given those three attacking players are still to get going this season — and they have too much quality for that to last forever — Liverpool leading the standings at this stage is in some ways remarkable.

If even just one of Wirtz, Isak or Salah finds form, that will take Liverpool — who only Manchester City has scored more than so far in the league — to another level. Arsenal might argue that Bukayo Saka and Martin Odegaard have been injured this season and there are more gears to move into for them too, but the potential uptick from Liverpool is larger.
