It seems one man who has been watching is Everton manager Ronald Koeman, who says they deserve to be top of the table.
“It’s still too early to say who will be the favourites, but I have been impressed by Liverpool so far,” he told ESPN.
“Maybe that is not what you might expect the Everton manager to say, but they have been playing some very good football and deserve to be at the top.”

Unfortunately for Liverpool, they are not the only ones who are looking likely to be contenders for the title this season.
Manchester City have been impressive under Pep Guardiola, Chelsea have started to establish themselves under Antonio Conte while Arsenal and Tottenham are also in the mix.
Koeman’s Everton team have already played City and Chelsea, suffering a 5-0 defeat at Stamford Bridge before the international break and the Dutchman has also been impressed by both of those teams.
“Of course they[Liverpool] can be champions this season, they have a good chance, but they are not the only contenders,” he added.
“My Everton team has played Manchester City and Chelsea in the last few weeks and both were very impressive.”
