In Wolverhampton, England, Liverpool's manager Arne Slot is remaining cautious despite his team's current position at the peak of the Premier League after a recent victory over Wolverhampton Wanderers, marking their fourth win in under two weeks. With a total of 15 points accumulated from six league matches, Liverpool sits just one point ahead of last season's champions, Manchester City, and runners-up, Arsenal.

The match against Wolves adds to a series of strong performances from Liverpool, following victories against AC Milan (3-1) in the Champions League, a 3-0 win over Bournemouth in the league, and a commanding 5-1 defeat of West Ham United in the League Cup. Despite these achievements, Slot refrains from declaring Liverpool as title challengers, referencing the club's previous inconsistency under former manager Jurgen Klopp, who stepped down after the last season.

He believes that assessing the team's potential for title competition should not be done until a significant number of matches have been played. Notable moments from the game included Ibrahima Konate scoring his first Premier League goal, while Mohamed Salah successfully converted a penalty. However, the team did face a setback when Wolves equalized due to a mistake in defense involving Konate, which Slot remarked could have been avoided. He acknowledged that while the team responded quickly with another goal, the match remained challenging until the final whistle.
