Liverpool couldn’t have entered the international break in better form. After their emphatic victory at Old Trafford on Sunday, Arne Slot’s side is making the Premier League look easy. While much of the focus has been on the front three, the defensive line, marshalled by Virgil van Dijk, is looking the best it has in some time. Statistically speaking via ESPN UK on X, the Reds are leading the charts in nearly every category after three matchdays, underscoring their dominant start to the season.

Arne Slot has been clear about his vision for how he wants Liverpool to play, emphasizing a style that defends from the front. So far, the team has delivered on that promise. Not only does Liverpool boast a 100% record, but they are also the only team yet to concede a goal after three matchdays—a testament to the solidity of their defence.

The numbers are certainly something both the fans and the manager can be proud of. Liverpool’s attack looks more lethal than it has in recent seasons, registering 37 shots across three games and leading the league with an expected goals (xG) figure of 5.3. On the defensive side, the Reds have been just as impressive, with an expected goals against (xGA) of only one, highlighting the minimal threat posed to their backline so far.

When they return from the international break, Liverpool and Arne Slot will face another significant test as they host Arsenal on September 15. Adding to the challenge, they will also travel to the San Siro to kick off their Champions League campaign. While fans have enjoyed the smooth transition from Jurgen Klopp to Slot, the week following the international break will be a crucial period to truly gauge how formidable this Liverpool squad is for the season ahead.
