15 wins in 18 games and top of the table over Christmas! It couldn't be any better start to the Premier League campaign for Liverpool. Jurgen Klopp's relentless Reds are cruising in the Premier League and of course are favourites to dethrone Manchester City as Premier League champions.
Arguably, this Liverpool side is their best side in the last two decades and it wouldn't be wrong at all to insist that Klopp has become successful to inject some stability and reliability in all the departments over the period and has made his side more balanced. Of course, The Anfield club is backed with a stunning transfer window which has seen numerous top talents in Europe coming to the Red Half of Merseyside.
Particularly, their defensive line has massively improved this campaign while Salah and co. are doing their business in front of goal. The 2018-19 season looks relay promising for the Reds and they could break numerous records this term.
Here are three amazing records Liverpool can break in the remaining chunk of the campaign.
#3 Fewest goals conceded in a single Premier League season
Current Record Holder- 15 (Chelsea, 2004-05)
Jose Mourinho's phenomenal 2004-05 Chelsea side broke numerous records and fewest goals conceded (15) in a single Premier League season was one of those.
It would be very difficult for Liverpool to break this glorious defensive record but with their backline's current form, it looks within a reach.
The arrival of Virgil Van Dijk has seen a massive industrial revolution in Reds' backline while Alisson has provided much more reliability in front of Liverpool's goal. The Brazilian has broken the record of most clean sheets by a debutant in Liverpool's history and has barely put a wrong foot this season.
However, immense consistency would be required from Liverpool's backline to overcome the figures set by Chelsea's 2004-05 side.

#2 Most clean sheets in a single Premier League season
Current record holders- Chelsea (24 clean sheets, 2004-05)
This is another defensive record Liverpool might be breaking this campaign and which was again set by Mourinho's Chelsea in the 2004-05 campaign.
Brazilian acrobatic shot-stopper Alisson's stunning performances in front of the Reds' goal has seen Liverpool topping the current chart of most clean sheets with 11 while Chelsea is behind them with 8 in the bag. Surely, it is pretty strange to see such defensive merits shown by Reds as their defensive line came under the spotlight numerous times in recent years due to some sloppy plays.
However, Van Dijk and Alisson are the probable reasons of these defensive showings while Joe Gomez's stepping up and more reliability shown by Matip and Lovren has also contributed a lot.
The 26-year-old Brazilian has already become fan favourite and in him, Reds have found a gem of a goalkeeper. Alisson, of course, is capable of keeping strong hands in front of goal and could record his name in history books by beating Petr Cech's exceptional record of 24 clean sheets.
#1 Most points in a single Premier League season
Current Record holders- Manchester City (100, 2017-18)
Exceptional record of 100 points in the Premier League set by an exceptional Manchester City side of 2017-18 is probably the toughest ever landmark to achieve.
However, Liverpool's stunning XI of 2018-19 has a chance of breaking this remarkable tally. Currently, they have 48 points in the bag while 20 fixtures are still remaining. An immensely competitive title race with Manchester City might push them towards more perfection but it is an unbelievably tough task.
Recently, Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp said his side might need to break the record set by Manchester City last season and would require tally of 105 points to clinch the Premier League title.
"So far it looks like a really special season, 48 points before Christmas is crazy. But there are other teams. Chelsea, Manchester City, Tottenham, Arsenal, will probably win, so then they have 40-something points, nobody is dropping points down to fifth or sixth. You will probably need 105 to be champions at the end of the season, you don't know.
The probability of this unbelievable record is very less of course but who knows, anything can happen. This is the Premier League!
