Laura Hunter:

Slot has won 10 of his 12 Premier League games in charge of Liverpool, the joint-fastest any manager has reached double figures for wins in the competition. And all the signs, after another measure of his side's ability to overcome adversity, remain rosy.

Errors were made, but the scoreline only ever briefly compromised. Liverpool look imperious, led by the magnificence of Salah, and have now opened up an eight-point gap at the top.

It is hard to see Manchester City, 4-0 losers to Spurs this weekend, challenging at this moment in time, while slip-ups have also been made by Arsenal in recent weeks. Liverpool keep winning.

The Slot steam train is rolling on at an alarming pace, and now they must consider themselves favourites for the title, despite the manager protesting otherwise.

Of course, such sentiment will not be whispered outside the walls of their Kirkby training base, at risk of inviting complacency, but we are all thinking Liverpool are now the ones to beat.

Apparently Slot "doesn't do romanticism, he does wins". Keep going at this rate and Liverpool will be in line to win the biggest prize of them all.
