Liverpool are currently the league leaders after seven match days in the Premier League. While it’s way too early to stitch them to titles, they’ve shown enough for the world to consider it a possibility.
With the narrow margins and the quality Premier League has, the leaders always have to check their shoulders. As the main focus is to keep winning and holding the spot, there are a lot of players to look forward to in the Arne Slot era.
Cody Gakpo will look to raise the standards after an impressive start
The Reds have kept five clean sheets in their seven games in the Premier League. The stellar defence and lethal attacking have been blending well under Slot. While this would be far from enough given what is to be achieved, the Dutch midfielder Gakpo has given his statements about the growth and points table. Talking to the LFC media he said:
“I think everybody in the team thinks we’re growing in the way the gaffer wants us to play. I think that’s the most important one. “We are believing in ourselves and what we’re capable of.”
“Hopefully it can lead to a lot of wins and hopefully we’re still on top at the end of the season. But for now, it’s just staying very calm, keep improving and keep working hard and we’ll see it from that point.”
Gakpo is carrying a long-term mindset with proper aims in mind. He senses that the squad is yet to pick up a lot of things from Slot’s game plans as he talks about the confidence the team possesses right now. The Dutch midfielder who is on £120,000 per week contract expects to keep things calm as they climb the ladder step by step.

Liverpool hasn’t been tested as of now in the season. Agreeing to the concept, Slot also said the real challenges are yet to come. However, we could get a lot of clarity given the fixtures of Liverpool after coming back from the international break.
Slot and his men are going to be tested against Chelsea in their opener as they also face Arsenal later this month. Furthermore, Slot will also travel to RB Leipzig in the middle of these fixtures for a Champions League. Putting up a composed performance week in and week out during October. These fixtures will send out a clear message about them being contenders this season.
