Arne Slot is ALREADY about to BEAT Jurgen Klopp's Liverpool RECORD

Despite many concerns that Liverpool would fall off this season after losing Jurgen Klopp at the end of the last campaign, the Reds are flying.

Winning 10 of their first 11 matches, the players are in form, the tactics have filtered through and Liverpool keep being able to find a way to win their games.

Scoring 25 goals in that time frame, while only conceding five, it is difficult to think of a better way Liverpool could've started the season.

Arne Slot often looks back on the Nottingham Forest defeat at Anfield in September, but the new project will almost definitely have gained a lot for having lost the game and then subsequently responding with a return to winning ways.

And while opposition fans have felt reluctant to praise Arne Slot's Liverpool outfit, pointing to a relatively straightforward run of games, the Reds' 2-1 win over Chelsea will no doubt have made them begin to reconsider.

Slot's impressive feats against the 'big 6'

Despite Erik Ten Hag's Manchester United side struggling this season, Liverpool still managed to dispatch the Red Devils 3-0 at Old Trafford and in addition to today's 2-1 win over Chelsea at Anfield, the Reds now find themselves with two wins out of two against the 'big six' teams.

This feat equals Liverpool's tally of wins last season against the 'big six' under Jurgen Klopp - where Liverpool were plagued by a number of draws.

That last season saw Liverpool manage to beat Chelsea at home and Tottenham Hotspur at home, alongside the dubious loss to Tottenham away, where Diaz had a goal unlawfully ruled out.

Alongside losing twice, Klopp's side drew six of the 10 games, in what was widely considered to be a disappointing effort, which contributed to Liverpool falling away from their title challenge in the end.

While Slot's number of games against the high-class opposition is limited, Liverpool managed to find a way to get over the line in each of them, which is certainly impressive.

Today, they only managed to take eight shots on Chelsea's goal, but they ensured five of them were on target, creating 1.63xg, and most importantly putting the ball in the net twice.

Arne Slot may not have been sufficiently tested yet, and the upcoming matches certainly pose a daunting picture for the Reds, but there are plenty of reasons to be confident.
