    Three games, seven points, no goals conceded; it would be fair to say Liverpool have started this season in more pleasing fashion than they ended the last.

    Wins over Stoke and Bournemouth and a goalless draw at Arsenal have given Reds fans reason to hope the 2014-15 season was the abnormality, as opposed to the previous campaign's title challenge.

    In contrast, West Ham fans have gone from cock-a-hoop to concerned in the space of three weeks. Following up an opening win at Arsenal with home defeats by Leicester and Bournemouth means they may well be happy to be on the road again.
