# Liverpool fans predict points tally in tricky next five games

Liverpool sit eight points clear at the top of the Premier League, with a perfect record after as many matches.

It couldn’t have gone any better, if we’re being honest.

The international break has now arrived, but when the Reds return, a daunting run of fixtures lie on the horizon.

Jurgen Klopp’s side face five league games in a row that look sticky on paper, starting with a trip to Manchester United on October 20.

They then host Tottenham and visit in-form Aston Villa, before a crucial clash with Manchester City at Anfield and a trip to Crystal Palace.

These Liverpool supporters have been predicting how the Reds will fare in the next five outings on Twitter.

### Read Liverpool Verdict

This feels like a defining run of fixtures in Liverpool’s season, considering how tricky the matches look.

By the law of averages, the Reds will drop points sooner or later – when that happens, a meltdown must be avoided.

Liverpool have been famously poor at Old Trafford for years, and regardless of United’s current woes, they will be desperate to cause an upset.

The home games with Tottenham and City will obviously be taxing affairs, while the trips to Villa and Palace are both awkward.

Fifteen points would be an outrageous tally, but realistically, if Liverpool got 12 or 13, it would also be a great effort.
