Following mixed results in his first season at the club, many were wondering whether or not Klopp would be able to transform this Liverpool team into a consistent force that could compete on all levels.

As we’ve found out recently, the answer definitely appears to be yes with the Reds playing some fantastic football since the start of the campaign.

Hull – Home

Hull have started the season better than many people thought they would with just two losses from their opening five league games, but as the games go on it seems likely that their flaws are going to be exposed by the more dominant sides in the division.

Liverpool have a history of dropping the ball against lower teams in the league at home, but with the confidence they have right now this could get ugly for the Tigers.

Prediction: Liverpool 3-0 Hull

Swansea – Away

It’s an odd time to be a Swansea fan right now as the club are just sort of lingering between mid-table and the relegation zone with no real target set for the season ahead. It seems like the perfect time to play the Welsh outfit, however as Chelsea experienced the Liberty isn’t the easiest of places to go.

With the sheer attacking force that the visitors have to offer, they should see this as a narrow three points in the bag. However, Swansea could easily steal a point if they’re on their game on the day and the crowd are behind them.

Prediction: Swansea 2-2 Liverpool

Man United – Home

Probably the most famous fixture in English football comes back around once again as Liverpool prepare to take on bitter rivals Manchester United. There’s certainly no love lost between the two sides with their fortunes going in different directions over the last few games.

Liverpool’s belief that they can take something from this game would have been boosted by their rivals’ three-game losing streak, as Mourinho is struggling to make his mark at Old Trafford. It will be scrappy and it will be nervy, but the home side look set to be the favourites.

Prediction: Liverpool 2-0 Manchester United
