Trent Alexander-Arnold has expressed confidence that Liverpool can secure trophies this season after their strong start to the campaign. The team has impressed with recent victories over top clubs like Real Madrid and Manchester City, which have helped boost morale and belief within the squad. As it stands, Liverpool is atop the Premier League standings, leading Chelsea by four points and holding an eight-point advantage over Manchester City, with a game in hand.
Under the leadership of manager Arne Slot, Liverpool has experienced a near-flawless start to the season. The team has only suffered one defeat in all competitions—a narrow 1-0 loss to Nottingham Forest at home, a result that has remained an outlier in what has otherwise been a stellar run. In the Champions League, Liverpool has been perfect, winning all six of their group-stage matches. This record, combined with their form in domestic competitions, has made them one of the most formidable sides in Europe and England.
One of the standout statistics for Liverpool this season is their unbeaten streak. They are currently on an 18-match unbeaten run across all competitions, a testament to their consistency and strength. The team's excellent start has led many to view them as one of the leading contenders for the Premier League title. According to statistical models, they have an 82.4% probability of finishing first at the end of the season, a figure that reflects the quality and form they’ve shown in the early stages of the campaign.
Alexander-Arnold, who has been a key player in Liverpool's success, shared his excitement with Sky Sports, stating, “This is where we want to be [at the top of the table].” However, despite the team's strong position, the 25-year-old remains cautious and level-headed, understanding that it’s still early days in the season. "It is still early days, so we can't get too excited," he said, adding that being in such a favorable position at this stage of the season would have been met with “massive smiles” at the beginning of the campaign.
Liverpool's attacking prowess has also been a key feature of their success. The Reds have scored two or more goals in each of their last seven Premier League matches, continuing a trend of free-flowing, dynamic football. This form is reminiscent of their high-scoring run from September to December 2021, when they managed 11 consecutive games with multiple goals. In 2024, the team has netted 76 goals in 33 games, averaging 2.3 goals per match. This is the second-best goals-per-game rate in Premier League history for Liverpool, trailing only their 2019 campaign when they averaged 2.38 goals per game.
Despite their high-scoring performances, Alexander-Arnold and the team remain focused on maintaining consistency and not getting carried away. The team's strong defensive record, combined with their attacking threat, has made them one of the most well-rounded sides in the league. With a talented squad and a manager who has instilled a clear tactical approach, Liverpool looks poised to compete for multiple trophies this season.
As the season progresses, the challenge for Liverpool will be maintaining their momentum and depth throughout the busy fixture list. With the Premier League, Champions League, and other cup competitions all in play, Liverpool will need to stay focused on each competition. The strong start, however, has made them a favorite for silverware, and if they continue to perform at this level, they could well be in contention for multiple trophies by the end of the season .
