Liverpool and Chelsea share IDENTICAL records after five Premier League games and boast mean defences... with Man City faltering, Jurgen Klopp and Thomas Tuchel could go shot-for-shot for the title

Much like a boozy night in Berlin, Jurgen Klopp and Thomas Tuchel are going shot for shot.

Liverpool and Chelsea - of whom Klopp and Tuchel coach respectively - share an incredible symmetry after five Premier League games this season. The two heavyweights sit joint top of the league with 13 points each and both have scored 12 goals and conceded just once thus far.

Astonishingly, Liverpool and Chelsea also share the same pattern of score-lines. Their results this season read: 3-0, 2-0, 1-1, 3-0, 3-0.

Liverpool have made a strong start to the season
Chelsea have built on their Champions League triumph
The English heavyweights share the same points, goals scored, conceded and score-lines

With Chelsea hosting Manchester City and Liverpool facing the lesser task of taking on Brentford, it is likely that this pattern will come to an end this weekend.
