It has been a quite incredible start to life under Arne Slot at Liverpool, with the Reds having lost just once so far in all competitions.

While champions Manchester City flounder and with Arsenal yet to kick into top gear, Liverpool has established a comfy four point lead at the top of the Premier League on Christmas Day.

It appears that Chelsea is surprisingly best equipped to challenge this season although the 0-0 draw at Goodison Park on Sunday denied Enzo Maresca's men the opportunity to go top.

And Liverpool took full advantage, scoring six in the victory over Tottenham.

The postponed Merseyside derby means Slot's side also have a game in hand and while the Dutchman isn't getting carried away, there is no doubt Liverpool is clear favorites to go on and win the title this season.
