Liverpool, Liverpool, still top of the league. And by five points now.
An impressive 3-1 victory over Newcastle United, and Manchester City's subsequent 3-2 shock reverse at Norwich City, has seen Jurgen Klopp's side extend their lead at the top of the Premier League table with a 100% record after five games.
A long way to go, of course. But there were some encouraging signs at Anfield on Saturday.
Yours truly was on ratings duty and couldn't choose between Roberto Firmino and Andy Robertson, who both notched 9. Sadio Mane and Fabinho were both given 8.
But Liverpool fans voting on the ECHO website regarded Firmino as clearly the best with a whopping average of 9.2.
Not bad for a substitute.
Mane, Robertson and Fabinho again completed the top four, while of the starters Divock Origi was unlucky to pick up an injury just when he was coming into the game.
