The Merseyside club narrowly missed winning the league title by just a point in the 2018-19 campaign as Pep Guardiola's Man City ran away with the trophy.

However, that same season, the Reds were crowned European champions for the sixth time after defeating Premier League rivals Tottenham in the finals.

Liverpool have begun the new campaign on a promising note and still look like they can retain the trophy with their attacking brand of football.

The Anfield giants recently got themselves back to the top of the league following their 2-1 win over Jose Mourinho's led Spurs.

The Reds booked their place in the Champions League round of 16 as have been drawn against Bundesliga club RB Leipzig who knocked Man United out of the competition.

Meanwhile, Legit.ng had earlier reported that Trent Alexander-Arnold has hit back at Jose Mourinho comments claiming Tottenham were the better side during the top-of-the-table clash with Liverpool at Anfield.

The Special One walked up to Jurgen Klopp after the whistle and told him that the better side lost the Premier League clash at Anfield.

The Reds went up in the first half from a Mohamed Salah's deflected shot but Spurs came back minutes later as Heung-Min Son scored from a counter-attack.

Roberto Frimino sealed the win late in the game from a powerful header and put the defending Champions three points clear at the top of the log.
