Liverpool are riding high at the top of the Premier League, sitting six points clear of second-placed Arsenal with a game in hand. As they prepare for Sunday’s clash against West Ham, Arne Slot’s team remains the firm favorite to win their first English title since 2020. The Reds have been in stellar form, boasting 13 wins and only one loss in their first 17 league games.
The current squad’s success has sparked debates among fans about how they compare to Jurgen Klopp’s title-winning team that ended Liverpool’s 30-year league drought in 2020. However, goalkeeper Alisson Becker, one of the few remaining players from Klopp’s squad, believes the comparisons are unnecessary.
“I don’t think it’s too similar, two different teams,” Alisson explained. “That team was special, achieving the Premier League and Champions League together. But now, we play a different style with more ball possession. We need to create our own history instead of comparing ourselves to the past.”
The Reds’ current attacking lineup, featuring Mohamed Salah, Cody Gakpo, Luis Diaz, and Darwin Nunez, has impressed Alisson. While Salah remains the only member of the iconic front three that included Sadio Mane and Roberto Firmino, the new recruits have stepped up to maintain Liverpool’s attacking prowess.
Alisson also highlighted the hunger and commitment of both new and experienced players, emphasizing their shared passion for winning. “We have the quality to do something special. The commitment, passion, and desire are all there. We are hungry and focused on winning every game,” he added.
As Liverpool continues their charge toward the title, fans are eager to see how this squad writes its own chapter in the club’s storied history.
