Liverpool have made an impressive start under Arne Slot, winning all three of their Premier League matches so far without conceding a goal.
They’ve scored seven times, including a recent 3-0 victory over Manchester United at Old Trafford. As they prepare to face Nottingham Forest at Anfield on Saturday, Liverpool’s early season form is promising.
Paul Merson, while acknowledging that the match could still be challenging, anticipates a 2-0 victory for Liverpool based on their current performance.
In his Sportskeeda column, Merson noted his positive impression of Arne Slot’s team and indicated that Liverpool’s strong start has led fans and pundits to believe they could contend for the Premier League title this season.
Merson believes Liverpool have the potential to win the Premier League, provided they can keep their key players fit. He remarked that, based on their current form, they have a strong chance of securing the title.
However, he cautioned that injuries could pose significant challenges, as Liverpool lacks the squad depth of teams like Manchester City, who won the league even with key players missing.
Although Merson is optimistic about Liverpool’s title prospects, Steve Nicol thinks they are currently behind Arsenal and Manchester City.
Despite these concerns, Liverpool’s early performance under Arne Slot has been impressive, and Slot’s meticulous approach seems to be yielding positive results.
If Liverpool maintains this form, they could mount a serious title challenge this season.
