Liverpool is loving life after five games in.
The Reds are the only flawless team, claiming all 15 points up for grabs thanks to late winners in every single game. That’s extended to the Carabao Cup, where Hugo Ekitike tapped home in the 85th minute to eliminate Southampton.
With the luck they’re on, Arne Slot could be in for an unforeseen repeat as a new manager in the league. Next up is a road trip to London, where Crystal Palace awaits, a rematch of the Community Shield in which the Eagles flew to victory. But with Eberechi Eze now at Arsenal, the Reds should be in line for 18 points.
Also on Saturday is Chelsea hosting Brighton & Hove Albion, essentially a transfer window derby given how much talent the Blues have bought from the Seagulls in recent seasons.
Sunday features just two games, with Newcastle hosting the Gunners in a key title race fixture. St. James’ Park is a thorn for Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta. If he doesn’t release the handbrake and leave with anything else but three points, the Gunners’ early hole becomes more worrisome.
