The Reds opened their Anfield campaign in 2024-25 with a win on Sunday thanks to goals from Luis Diaz and Mohamed Salah.

The Egyptian also became the Premier League's outright top goalscorer against Brentford by putting his sixth goal past the Bees on Sunday.
Arne Slot became only the third Liverpool boss to win both of his first two top-flight matches while seeing his side also keep a clean sheet in each – following on from Matt McQueen in 1923 and Graeme Souness in 1991.
