Liverpool
A good start, which is why we’re up at the top. We haven’t always played brilliantly, and often left it till late – Darwin Núñez at Newcastle, Harvey Elliott at Palace and Trent Alexander-Arnold against Fulham at home spring to mind – but mostly we’ve found a way to win and surprised a few along the way. Our new boys have settled in well, and after a few below‑par games we properly rediscovered our touch against West Ham, with five top-class goals to make the Carabao Cup semi-final. Alisson has been outstanding in goal again and Salah passed goal No 200. We’ve lost just once, away to Spurs, but would need a whole page to dissect that one.
