Man United legend admits Liverpool are ‘unstoppable’ after fifth straight win
Liverpool’s current winning streak will make the Reds extremely difficult to defeat, competitors have been warned.
Victory in the Champions League over Atletico Madrid got Arne Slot’s side off to the perfect start to the competition following four successive Premier League wins.
Liverpool have a three-point lead at the top of the table following Mo Salah’s winning penalty at Burnley last time out.
Everton in the Merseyside derby is next for Liverpool, but a former Man United legend cannot see the Reds currently losing a match.
Nicky Butt says Liverpool are ‘unstoppable’
Liverpool have relied on late goals this season, but speaking to BBC 5 Live [18 September], Nicky Butts feels Liverpool’s momentum currently makes them “unstoppable.”
“They were in control of the game [against Atletico Madrid], but the most important thing when you’re on a roll like Liverpool seems to be is winning and any way you can,” Butt said.
“You keep doing that, and the players they have on that side and the run that they are on as Premier League winners, they look like they are unstoppable at the minute.
| Goals per Match | 2.3 |
| Goals Conceded per Match | 1.0 |
| Average Possession | 64.4% |
| Clean Sheets | 2 |
“When the game starts, they are expected to win, and that’s a sign of a top team.”
Liverpool have scored 12 goals in 5 fixtures this season, and following their summer of heavy investment, which included the capture of Alexander Isak, teams will be fearful of coming to Anfield.
Everton out to spoil Liverpool’s perfect start
Liverpool may face their toughest testy yet when they welcome rivals Everton to Anfield this Saturday.
Jack Grealish has been in fine form for Everton and the Toffees are currently three unbeaten under David Moyes.
There will be optimism that, with Manchester City loanee Grealish in their ranks, Everton could cause Liverpool problems.
The Reds, though, will still begin the contest as firm favourites, and the likes of Hugo Ekitike, Milos Kerkez and Alexis Mac Allister could all come into the starting XI after being left on the bench against Atletico Madrid.
