Liverpool can extend the club’s lead atop the Premier League table following the October international break .
Before the international break, Liverpool defeated Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park thanks to Diogo Jota ’s goal inside the opening 10 minutes. The Reds are currently top of the league thanks to the win, sitting a point clear of Manchester City and Arsenal .
The Gunners fell 2-0 to Bournemouth on Saturday, while City travel to face Wolves on Sunday. Another three points would be massive for Arne Slot ’s team – especially considering Chelsea have impressed early in the season with the likes of Cole Palmer excelling to open the 2024-25 campaign.
