Things look to be tighter this time around, with the Reds dropping almost as many points already in the first ten games of the season as they did in the entirety of the last campaign.

A 1-1 draw with Brighton & Hove Albion on Saturday lunchtime took Jurgen Klopp's men back to the top of the table, a point ahead of Tottenham who now have a game in hand and the opportunity to go back to the top of the table when they face Chelsea at Stamford Bridge on Sunday.
