Berger identifies two obstacles that could prevent Slot's Liverpool from capturing the title: Zack Oaten's analysis.

Despite the progress made by the Reds, there are significant obstacles that must be overcome before they can be considered legitimate title contenders. Berger believes that a lack of discipline and key injuries could ultimately derail the club's chances of claiming their second title in 30 years.

“I mean it is a long season and there are no easy games in the Premier League but if someone would tell the manager that he would be top of the table after this time, he would take it," said Berger. "So we can be happy, not the best game but three points in the bag and we can move on. 

“He couldn’t ask for a better start obviously. But as I said, it is a long season and they’re going to judge him at the end of the season. They’re playing well, winning games and getting points. There’s so many competitions but so far so good. Let’s wait until the end of the season. 

“I feel like if they can keep the players fit and no suspensions, there is no reason why they couldn’t carry on as they have done so far.” 

As well as Leipzig, Slot has to prepare for clashes against Bayer Leverkusen, Aston Villa, Real Madrid, Manchester City, Newcastle United, a derby against Everton and Tottenham which are all coming up before Christmas. 

As Berger says, the season is long and tough, but if Liverpool can keep discipline and injuries to a minimum then the title may be within reach this season under the Dutchman.
