Tough tests ahead for Liverpoolpublished at 09:24 British Summer Time
So Liverpool's start to the season may have been against arguably easier opposition but the Reds' league run is about to increase in difficulty.
Their next five Premier League games are:
- Home against Chelsea on 20 October
- Away to Arsenal on 27 October
- Home to Brighton on 2 November
- Home to Aston Villa on 9 November
- Away to Southampton on 14 November
Opta have made a graphic for the next five games across the league and Liverpool's run is the sixth most difficult.
But, interestingly, potential title-rivals Arsenal have the fifth most difficult run coming up. Will we see the title race take an early twist in the next month or two?
