Liverpool are eight points clear of Manchester City after as many matches, making them favourites for the Premier League title.
Although there is still a long way to go this season, someone who thinks the Reds will end up being champions is Harry Redknapp.
In an interview with the Mirror, the former Tottenham and Portsmouth manager went as far as to say that Liverpool should be handed the trophy already:
Liverpool (will be champions). Give them the trophy now. Absolutely, I’m so sure they will win it now. They are eight points clear and playing well.
If Manchester City were playing great then maybe not – but they have lost two games.
They have lost to Wolves at home which everyone thought was an absolute certainty and they got beat at Norwich. Norwich recently got beat 5-1 by Aston Villa at home.
So they have lost two games that they usually wouldn’t. They haven’t even played the tough games yet, they have got them to come. I can’t see Man City doing it this year.

Redknapp’s comments are unlikely to go down too well with Liverpool supporters, who continue to downplay their perfect start to the campaign.
The Reds have suffered so much Premier League heartbreak over the years than nobody associated with the club is getting carried away with their lead over City.
There are still 30 matches to play, starting with a tough game away to Manchester United on Sunday afternoon.
City will not go away without a fight and they are more than capable of putting together an incredible winning run, as shown in the recent past.
