Liverpool under Arne Slot’s leadership are top of both the Premier League and the new UEFA Champions League system. – There is still uncertainty about several key players, although it has been reduced in recent days with positive feedback from at least two of the three stars who are on expiring contracts.
Liverpool lead the Premier League with four points above Chelsea and six points down on Arsenal, who both have one game more. Liverpool’s Saturday game against Everton at Goodison Park was postponed due to a storm.
In Europe, Liverpool are the only team with a 100% record in the UEFA Champions League as they also sit at the top with 15 points.

Despite the early encouragement, fans are still worried as the future of the star trio of Virgil van Dijk, Mohamed Salah and Trent Alexander Arnold remains.
As reported by The Echo, Spanish news outlet Estadio Deportivo has claimed that Liverpool are following Sevilla defender Loic Bade amid rumours that Van Dijk could extend his stay.

He said: “My full focus is on Liverpool, who want to win games that are ahead of me and nothing else.
“What the future holds, I have no idea at the moment. I can only tell you that discussions have started and we’ll see. I feel really good, physically, mentally and I’m having fun.”
The 33-year-old continued: “What the future holds I have no idea at the moment, but as I said in my previous answer, discussions are ongoing with the right people and when it’s time to make a decision or whatever, I think you (the media) will know that too.
“But now the full commitment and focus is on Liverpool and succeeding this season. So we’ll see. My own shape is fine. I want to let others talk, I don’t want to talk about myself. It’s not me who doesn’t admit, it’s all of us who don’t admit, I’m the captain, yes, but I feel very good.
