Sanguine What is slightly ridiculous is that from here they could lose four games and still equal City's 100-point PL record.
Incredibly they are also approaching City's consecutive wins record for the second time in the same season. Currently on 15 wins in a row, albeit this time they don't, it seems, have an Old Trafford or similar banana skin awaiting them. Next five are Southampton (h), Norwich (a), West Ham (h), Watford (a), Bournemouth (h). Which means they'll probably nonsensically lose one of them.
Should it also worry the PL that Liverpool probably have at least two more seasons with this squad at their peak (at which time Henderson, Firmino and Van Dijk will have passed the grand old age of 30)?

Silver FoxFranchise FCSilver Fox We'll always have the football league 46 game record, Man Citeh last year was better than 106 so if you're going to compare with 38 game seasons it's already gone
I'm pretty sure that we have the points record, not the points per game record - that's not a thing
This is the thing, you can't compare the 2, otherwise you're saying that more often than not the winners of league 2 are better than the Premier League champs (I haven't checked the stats to see how often top of L2 gets more points than top of the Prem, just trust me)

South Coast Royal This thread was started 10 years ago.
Since then Kes has gone through a number of guises having been plastic royal back then when he started it all.
As it is titled "Liverpool next season" and Liverpool now certs to be champions this time which teams do posters expect to challenge next season?
City with or without Pep and probably no European distraction?
Man Utd having spent many more hundreds of millions and probably no top European distraction?
Leicester with Vardy entering the veteran stage and Maddison possibly heading to Manchester?
Chelsea with more spending power and promising youngsters being a year older?
Spurs with Harry Kane playing for as long as he gets injured again and a manager past his sell-by date?
Arsenal-not worth considering.
Wolves-there are only so many top Portuguese players.
Sheff Utd-not strong enough to challenge for the top and Europe for the first time could be a big distraction
It does look good for the mighty reds with a very strong squad to be making a serious challenge again and some of us are loving it after all this time .
Strange that so many posters have stopped posting (nothing for 12 days), as the chant goes, "It's all gone quiet over there".

If they win the CL as well as setting an ‘unbeatable’ points record I wouldn’t be surprised if a couple of them weren’t attracted by some time in the sun, like Spain.
Depends on which ones it is, but if it’s VVD that would be a real problem because he makes ordinary centre backs look good alongside him (I give you Dejan Lovren ).
If they keep the core, they could be winning the league for years.
Might be interesting to hear the ‘ Twenty times...’ song at Old Trafford then
Oh, and happy to accept that they are both the most efficient, and entertaining, side around at the moment - probably in the world... are they still sponsored by Carlsberg ?

It has taken a few years but yes they are now a proper Carlsberg team.

SanguineStranded Chelsea's loss last night means Liverpool are the first team to qualify for the 2020/21 Champions League.
Goes without saying but this is the earliest that that has been achieved. Trying to find the article, I think it was on Unibet - there are in the region of 35 records that Liverpool could set this season, and that's the second one ticked off (after setting the record two weeks ago for the largest lead at any point in an English top flight season).
If they beat West Ham at home next Monday they'll equal City's 18 league wins in a row, and also set a new top flight record of 21 home league wins in succession.
