The fans are back - and so is a Liverpool title challenge.
After last season's mixed start to life in front of empty stadia - a victory at Stamford Bridge and a freak defeat at Villa Park, a demolition of Arsenal and a draw with Everton - the return of fans has seen the Reds made a strong start to 2021/22.
Jurgen Klopp's men are the only unbeaten team in the top flight, they have straddled difficult assignments with Manchester City and Chelsea and made an excellent start to their Champions League campaign.
With the momentum stalled by an international break, we asked Liverpool Correspondent Paul Gorst to give us his assessment of Liverpool's season so far.
And then you have your own opportunity to tell us how you think the Reds have fared.
First of all, Paul Gorst's assessment...
How has the season gone so far? (Give a mark out of 10)
Twenty goals scored across September, in three different competitions, have set Liverpool up handsomely for the October international break.
The Reds are right at the top end of the Premier League, having faced both Manchester City and Chelsea already, and are in a position of comfort in the Champions League, too.
Liverpool look a lot more like their 2019/20 selves than some of the performances of last term, but a three-horse race has already developed.
Mohamed Salah is the best player in Europe right now and is benefitting hugely from a full pre-season programme under Jurgen Klopp.
8/10
Verdict on the new signings?
Ibrahima Konate was the sole arrival at Anfield back in the summer and the centre-back has been made to wait for his chance so far.
Just the one Premier League start so far, which came in the 3-0 win over Crystal Palace last month, while he also helped keep out Norwich City at Carrow Road in the third round of the Carabao Cup.
Imposing, quick and comfortable on the ball, Konate's traits show promise that he can fit in well with Liverpool's adaptation of the high defensive line.
At the age of 22, Konate's best years as a centre-back are ahead of him and those inside the club believe they have one of the best young defenders on the continent in their ranks.
It's early days yet, but Konate has bolstered a defensive department that now looks to be the strongest in the division.

How has the manager performed so far?
Jurgen Klopp has juggled his options expertly in the early weeks of the campaign.
He has managed to breathe fresh life into the flatlining career of Divock Origi while also getting goals out of the likes of Sadio Mane, Diogo Jota and Roberto Firmino.
His handling of Mohamed Salah has been inspired, coaxing the Egyptian into some of his best form of his Liverpool career since the start of the campaign.
A willingness to trust in youth in his midfield was briefly rewarded by Harvey Elliott before his long-term injury at Leeds, while the rotating of his centre-backs has helped keep Joel Matip, Virgil van Dijk and Joe Gomez sharp after lengthy lay-offs of their own.
Biggest surprise so far?
Given there were few arrivals on the scene in the summer, it's fair to say there haven't been too many surprises up Klopp's sleeve so far.
The trust and faith he placed in Elliott in his midfield, prior to that ankle dislocation at Leeds, was probably the biggest.
To have so much belief in an 18-year-old in your midfield when every result is a must was a big call from Klopp but Elliott repaid his manager in those early games before the horrendous bit of luck at Elland Road.
Honourable mention for Origi, whose Champions League display in the win against AC Milan offered a timely reminder after a year in the wilderness.
What are the team missing?
The one thing Liverpool are short of is another attacker capable of performing in the biggest games.
Origi and Takumi Minamino will do a job for the Reds up top when the rotation begins in the cup competitions, but in the matches against Chelsea and Man City at Anfield, the Reds have maybe lacked a more potent option.
Roberto Firmino's hamstring injury saw Klopp play his 'Diogo Jota card' early on against the Londoners and Liverpool were unable to call for additional firepower off the bench as a result when Thomas Tuchel's 10 men were content to sit in for a point in the second half.
Another option might have made all the difference that day as the two teams drew 1-1.
Do you think they'll do better, worse or about the same as pre-season predictions?
I tipped Liverpool to challenge for the title before the season began and I've seen nothing to make me doubt that so far.
If anyone finishes above them this season then they will surely be champions of England.
Now it's your turn to tell us what you think ...
