The Foxes now reside at the summit of England's second tier, leaving Liverpool, Manchester City and Arsenal to duke out a thrilling slugfest for this year's Premier League crown.

Despite overhauling the entire midfield, Klopp has somehow crafted a cohesive unit without the yawning chasms that existed last season. Liverpool are not flawless — none of the title challengers are, which is perhaps what makes this year's race more engaging than the previous processions of near perfection — and have conceded the
