Before a ball was kicked in the 2020-21 season the talk was all about whether Jurgen Klopp's Liverpool could regain their crown and start a dynasty.
They were head and shoulders above all of their rivals in 2019-20, winning the league title with ease.
But, torn apart by Manchester City on Sunday, nobody is throwing the word 'dynasty' around, not for Liverpool. Now the race is on to even make the top four.
It looks like nobody will be able to derail City's title charge now but the race for the other Champions League places is red-hot.
