Liverpool are starting to believe in Premier League glory

LIVERPOOL, England -- Whisper it quietly but on the terraces of Anfield, they are starting to believe. In the dying minutes of Liverpool's 3-1 victory over strugglers Leicester City, cries of 'Liverpool, top of the league' could be heard echoing from the Kop, and the sense that Arne Slot's side are on course to achieve something special this season is growing.

Ahead of kick-off, highlights of the last Boxing Day meeting between these two sides were broadcast on the screens outside the stadium. Liverpool's dominance on that occasion in 2019 was such that Jürgen Klopp would later name the game as his team's greatest-ever Premier League performance, with two goals from Roberto Firmino and a goal from James Milner and Trent Alexander-Arnold respectively, helping the Reds to a resounding 4-0 win at the King Power Stadium.
