Arne Slot’s Liverpool is enjoying one of its best runs in the Premier League, and after another defeat for Manchester City, the Reds solidified their position as league leaders. In their visit to Southampton, Slot's team secured a hard-fought but crucial victory, maintaining their spot at the top with 31 points, eight ahead of Pep Guardiola’s City.

Impressive Form

After 12 matches, Liverpool has shown a level of consistency rarely seen in the Premier League. With 10 wins, 1 draw, and just 1 loss, Slot’s side has been performing at a high level. This Sunday’s 10th win of the season against Southampton saw Arne Slot reach a historic milestone, matching legendary managers like Carlo Ancelotti and Guus Hiddink.

Slot joins these two names in a select group of managers who achieved 10 Premier League wins in the fewest number of matches: just 10 games. This is an impressive record that speaks volumes about the immediate impact Slot has had on the team since his arrival.

A Key Week for Liverpool

Liverpool’s strong form is not limited to the Premier League, as they also face a crucial week in the Champions League. The Reds will meet Real Madrid in a high-stakes clash in the group stages before returning to Anfield to host Manchester City in a match that could be decisive in increasing their lead over the Citizens in the race for the title.

Finishing another week as Premier League leaders gives Liverpool a vital emotional boost. The team’s confidence is sky-high, and this excellent start to the season positions Slot's side as one of the favorites to lift the trophy at the end of the campaign. However, challenges remain, and competition for the top spot is fierce, with teams like Manchester City lurking.

With Liverpool so solid in every department and Slot proving to be a top tactician, the Reds not only dream of the Premier League title but also keep their hopes alive in Europe. The season is still long, but the first 12 matches have shown that this Liverpool has no intention of relinquishing the top spot anytime soon.
