#2 Bigger summer signings
Summer signings are likely to become crucial over different periods of the season. Liverpool flexed their financial muscles during the transfer window to great extents this summer. The departments in which the squad has been deficient has been addressed by Klopp.
Goalkeeper Alisson Becker came in from Roma for a club record fee. So far, the Brazilian has repaid every single penny of his fee to the club. He has a save percentage rate of 85.7% which is the best in the league.
The talented Naby Keita has brought a burst of energy to the team while Fabinho who was brought from Monaco has added steel to the midfield. Both players initially struggled but they have now settled in very nicely. The excellent Xerdan Shaqiri has given the attack a new dimension. He has scored five goals and chipped in two assists so far this season.
Manchester City, in contrast, bought in Riyad Mahrez for a club record fee. They are a bit light in defensive midfield as they failed to bring in a cover for Fernadinho. In attack, Sergio Aguero doesn’t have any true competition. An Injury to him could prove costly. This factor could very well determine the fate of the title race as the season goes on.
