All of a sudden, Liverpool’s visit to Old Trafford on Monday has developed a rather different feel.
What appeared, after Manchester United’s desperate start, to be a cruel twist in the schedule now feels like a seismic game in both teams’ seasons.
No longer are people wondering how many goals Liverpool will rack up against their hapless rivals. Instead, the pressing question is: can Klopp’s side afford another slip-up?
There really should be no reason to panic after two games. Especially when the data suggests Liverpool’s performances merited six points.
