Liverpool boss Arne Slot appears to be able to do no wrong at the moment.
The Reds did not even play in the Premier League last week but had a good weekend as two of their three closest rivals slipped up.
Arsenal, who drew 1-1 with Fulham, and Manchester City, who were held 1-1 by Crystal Palace, both dropped points after Slot’s side had their derby at Everton postponed because of adverse weather conditions.
The only title rival to win were Chelsea who beat Tottenham to move second in the Premier League and four points behind the Reds.
Liverpool also remain top of the Champions League group in its new format as they achieved a sixth win out of six games with a 1-0 victory at Girona.
However, while Slot has come across as being calm, composed and measured so far, some frustration came to the surface in the wake of Tuesday’s match in Spain.
Despite the Reds maintaining their 100% record in Europe this season, Slot was “far from pleased” with a performance in which his side did not have the control he demands and afforded Girona a number of chances.
Slot will want to make sure there is no repeat when Liverpool host Fulham in the league on Saturday and he will be speaking to the media at 09:15 GMT today in the build up to that game.
Darwin Nunez has one goal in 10 outings and we will hear if Slot has anything to say about the Uruguay striker’s struggles.
Diogo Jota and Federico Chiesa have been back in training and we should also get an update on their availability.
