Liverpool head coach Arne Slot believes it is "too early" to describe his team at the best in the world, despite being labelled as such by Brentford boss Thomas Frank.

Liverpool have been nothing short of extraordinary under Arne Slot this season. The Dutchman replaced the seemingly irreplaceable in Jürgen Klopp over the summer, but has done a far better job than anyone could have imagined. The Reds are top of the Premier League, top of the Champions League and are still in both cup competitions.

Arne Slot says his Liverpool players “proved him wrong” after Darwin Nunez’s stoppage-time double gave the Premier League leaders a precious 2-0 win at Brentford. Nunez came off the bench to convert Trent Alexander-Arnold’s cross before he finished off a counter attack two minutes later.
