When Arne Slot took charge of Liverpool following Jurgen Klopp's departure at the end of last season, the Dutchman recognised he had "big shoes to fill".
After all, Klopp had delivered a Champions League and a long-awaited Premier League title as well as the FA Cup and a couple of League Cups.
These are still very early days for Slot, but few could have predicted such a smooth transition like the one that has taken place at Liverpool.
A 1-0 Champions League victory against RB Leipzig on Wednesday was their 11th win in 12 matches since Slot took charge.
