The Champions League: After a 2-0 win against Brentford on Saturday, courtesy of an injury-time brace by substitute Darwin Nunez, head coach Thomas Frank labelled Liverpool as the best team in the world at the moment. Arne Slot on the other hand believes it is ‘far too early’ in the season to be calling his team the best in the world.

“His opinion means something to me because he has shown at Brentford how well he has done for so many years without spending crazy amounts of money. Every time he is able to perform with his teams and makes it so hard for top six teams to play against," said Slot in a press conference. "But I think it's far too early to say these things. The Champions League format is different. We have to face a lot of teams. Can we judge the league table in the Champions League? Very difficult to judge. But it's always nice to get compliments from a manager who has proved himself in the Premier League," he said.

Liverpool, who sit atop both the Premier League and the UEFA Champions League standings, will continue their winning streak in European competitions against LOSC Lille at Anfield on Wednesday (IST).
