READ LIVERPOOL VERDICT
No one should be counting their chickens after five games, but there is no denying that it has been a superb start to the season for Liverpool and Manchester City have been showing plenty of flaws in their game.
With Aymeric Laporte potentially out for six months, Liverpool have every right to believe that they have what it takes to end City’s title dominance this season and win their first-ever Premier League title.
