🗓️ 23 days, 7 games: Opportunity knocks for Liverpool to show their title credentials in the next month

The Reds face into another hectic period in between international breaks, and now is the time to truly hammer home their claims to be genuine title contenders

Eight matches into the season, Liverpool look well placed to make a sustained challenge for the Premier League title, having already ticked off away fixtures against the likes of Chelsea, Newcastle, Tottenham and Brighton.

Over the next month, the Reds face four top-flight games against opponents who currently sit 13th or lower, with three of those taking place at Anfield, where Jurgen Klopp’s side have only lost once in front of their fans in the league in the past six-and-a-half years.

Opportunity therefore seems to knock for LFC to lay down a marker of intent in the title race between now and mid-November, with a gap of just three points to make up on current leaders Tottenham.

Of course, fixtures are only easy when looking at them in a calendar. For many of Liverpool’s upcoming opponents, a meeting with the Reds offers something of a ‘free swing’ where even a draw would be considered a very positive result.

This hectic period either side of Halloween also sees Klopp’s team juggling the bread and butter of the Premier League with two more Europa League games and a Carabao Cup tie, with seven matches to be played across 23 days.

The target will undoubtedly be to win every one of them, but how challenging will it be to come through this block of fixtures with a 100% record?

Let’s have a look at Liverpool’s next seven matches, along with a comparison to this period of last season and how the Reds fared in corresponding fixtures in 2022/23 (where applicable).
