Liverpool manager Arne Slot has enjoyed a record-breaking start to his tenure at Anfield but has been measured in his response as he says they have yet to face a top side, although that is all about to change with the visit of in-form Chelsea.

The 2024-25 Premier League season has been as competitive as it has been in recent years. Manchester City is not the overwhelming favorite for the first time in a while as Arsenal and Liverpool have as good of a chance to take home the crown.

Liverpool's recruitment team have reportedly been left stunned after Chelsea chose to ban them from attending academy matches at their West London home. It is understood that scouts from the Reds have been blocked from in-person visits to Kingsmeadow to watch matches.
