But they could kick off at Tottenham on Sunday behind Chelsea, who are seeking a sixth straight league win at struggling Everton earlier in the day.
Liverpool have drawn their past two league matches, against Newcastle and Fulham, but beat Southampton in the League Cup quarter-finals this week to stay on track for a first trophy of Slot’s reign.
They are still firm favourites to win the league but Chelsea are gathering momentum under new manager Enzo Maresca.
It is difficult to predict which Tottenham team will turn up on Sunday after seven wins and seven defeats in their 16 league games so far.
But one thing is for sure — Ange Postecoglou’s team will not sit back — only Chelsea have scored more than their tally of 36 league goals this season.
Wolves desperate for new manager bounce
Leicester and Wolves have both sacked their managers this season, spooked by poor starts to the Premier League campaign.
The two sides meet at the King Power on Sunday in a must-win match for the visitors, who this week appointed Vitor Pereira as their new coach following the dismissal of Gary O’Neil.
Wolves are second from bottom of the Premier League after four straight defeats, with a paltry nine points from 16 games — five points behind Leicester, who are just outside the relegation zone.
