Has Klopp finally found answer to Liverpool’s title quest?

Last season Jurgen Klopp’s side were the great entertainers, scoring goals for fun, but coming up short in the trophy department. For that reason they were touted as the closest challengers to Manchester City’s crown but it is considerably different Liverpool on show this season. The 1-0 win at Huddersfield was as scrappy as they come but it helped set a new record as never in 126 years of the club’s history have they conceded three goals or fewer in the first nine league games. Goalkeeper Alisson Becker, the £65million summer signing, has six clean sheets in his first nine league matches and only Chelsea’s Petr Cech (seven) has kept more at the start of his Premier League career. They have not conceded a home league goal since February.
