Liverpool's victory in the Premier League is not a surprise, but the way the defending champions won is still a matter of concern.
Against Bournemouth and Newcastle, the Reds lost their two-goal lead. But then, "super subs" Chiesa and Ngumoha still turned things around spectacularly at the last minute.

Clearly, Liverpool's attacking prowess is keeping their fragile defence out of trouble.
Apart from leader Van Dijk, other links such as Kerkez, Alisson and especially central defender Konate all played below their ability.
The Frenchman has only one year left on his Liverpool contract and his mind is on Real Madrid, so he has many sleepy defensive moves.
Coach Arne Slot himself admitted that The Kop had difficulty against energetic opponents. That could make Liverpool continue to bring in Marc Guehi to strengthen the back line.
When it comes to physical strength and solid defending, there aren't many clubs doing better than Arsenal at the moment.

After Calafiori tore the net against MU on the opening day, Arteta sent his troops back to defend firmly to preserve the victory. Against Leeds, Arsenal unleashed their strength, destroying their opponents 5-0.
Expensive new signing Viktor Gyokeres dispelled doubts with a classy double. Remarkably, Arsenal's defense remained as solid as a wall of bronze. David Raya kept a clean sheet in the first two rounds.
Today's away team, although lacking captain Odegaard and Saka due to injury, new signing Eberechi Eze is ready to lead the defense with Gyokeres determined to destroy Anfield.
