EPL 2018-19: Rating how the top 6 teams have fared in the transfer window so far

Liverpool

Liverpool is a club on the up, and their owners FSG are clearly intent on recapturing Liverpool's heyday.

The acquisition of Klopp, the expansion of Anfield, and the emergence of Salah have shown that the Reds mean business. The transfer window this year also shows this.

Keita, Shiquiri, Allison, and Fabinho, are all seasoned internationals with top experience and show Liverpool's intent in winning their first league title since 1990.

The sale of Coutinho didn't impact on their attacking prowess, especially as Salah won the Golden Boot and Player of the Year awards.

City may be favourites, but at this point, Liverpool may be amongst the best challengers to them this term.

However, Liverpool's defence has been questioned of late, though the addition of van Dijk last year sought to rectify this. The goalkeeper situation is also telling, given the mistakes that Karius made in the Champions League final. He may be the weak link again, though Liverpool has time to make a top-class addition before the window ends. Allison's acquisition can aid this.

Klopp though may need to win a trophy this season, especially given the length of time at the club, and the increased transfer spend facilitated by the Anfield expansion and consistent Champions League football. Playing pretty football may not be enough, and now is the time to deliver.

Rating: 8.5/10

Liverpool has attained the highest profile players of all the top six, and it could be a first league title since Sir "King" Kenny's tenure.
