Liverpool’s impressive season goes on with a 6-3 win over Tottenham on Sunday. The result moved the Reds four points clear of Chelsea, who could only draw 0-0 with Everton at Goodison Park.
The Reds will now be top of the Premier League table on Christmas day and have a chance to cement their position with a home match against Leicester City on Boxing day.
So what next for Liverpool after such an impressive victory over Tottenham? Our LFC jury have their say…
Although Liverpool conceded three against Tottenham on Sunday, it is hard to be anything other than impressed with the systematic dismantling of Spurs. Perhaps the most impressive feature of the game was that the scoreline did not flatter Liverpool, and Tottenham fans will, deep down at least, be pleased that the scoreline did not jump from six.
We seem sharp with our passing and robust in our pressing. With the abundance of attacking talent at our disposal, it does feel like we have the most impressive squad in the Premier League, which perhaps explains our incredible start to the campaign.
If we are to continue our pursuit of major honours in the new year, it will be imperative to get Ibrahima Konate and Conor Bradley back fit and firing. Konate in particular has been an indispensable cog in the Slot machine this year, and whilst Gomez had a good game against Spurs, it feels like Konate’s absence may be felt more significantly if his spell away from the team is prolonged. Our attack and defence need to be on top form if we are to achieve domestic and European success this year.
It was pleasing to see Dominik Szoboszlai return to his former heights on Sunday against Spurs. His fast start to Premier League last year was met with a more languid end to it. This year, we have seen once again flashes of his talent, but to hold a place in the Liverpool midfield, he will need to show the consistency that he demonstrated in the first half of last season, especially given the renaissance of Curtis Jones.
Top of the Premier League tree at Christmas is a good place to be. Such landmarks don’t come with silverware, of course, but it is another marker of Arne Slot’s side’s superb work this term.
It was a productive Sunday for the Reds. The lead over Chelsea being extended to four points was pleasing, but Liverpool’s display felt the most invigorating element. ‘Chaos’, ‘Christmas cracker’ and ‘Classic’ have all felt justifiable descriptions of the 6-3 win at Tottenham.

The Colombian was effervescent, Dominik Szoboszlai’s promising form hit fresh heights, Trent Alexander-Arnold’s quality broke another game open, while Mohamed Salah offered that familiarly relentless attacking output. Another game that provided clear sources of encouragement and points for improvement.
Already, Leicester’s Boxing Day visit is on the horizon, swiftly followed by Sunday’s trip to West Ham. As this division constantly reminds us, everyone poses a distinct threat, but we’ve every reason to back ourselves to boss and win both, and keep building on that lead.
