Liverpool racking up clean sheets and plentiful Dream Team points under Arne Slot

ARNE SLOT could not have asked for a better August.

Tasked with filling Jurgen Klopp's shoes, the Dutchman has endeared himself to Liverpool fans in quick time by overseeing three straight victories, capped with a 3-0 win over old enemies Manchester United at Old Trafford.

Manchester City may be top of the table by virtue of goal difference - Erling Haaland (£8.8m) has raced to seven goals via two hat-tricks - but the Reds hold the distinction of being the only Premier League side yet to concede a goal.

Naturally, this achievement has translated to plentiful Dream Team points.

Three consecutive clean sheets has yielded 25 points for Alisson (£4.9m), who sits atop the goalkeeper rankings.

Meanwhile, Trent Alexander-Arnold (£5.8m) is the outright best defender on 27 points after three Gameweeks.

Anfield's homegrown hero could have been further ahead of his rivals had his team-mates converted one of the three big chances he's created - he also had a goal overturned by VAR against the Red Devils.

Andy Robertson (£4.8m) is joint-second in his position on 24 points with Virgil van Dijk (£5.2m) one point behind in joint-fourth.

Alisson and Liverpool's first-choice defenders come at a significant cost but gaffers who forked out for them prior to Gameweek 1 have been handsomely rewarded so far.

Slot's troops are well represented in the attacking positions too.

After his brace at Old Trafford for a 16-point return, Luis Diaz (£4.7m) is now Dream Team's top midfielder, one point clear of Bukayo Saka (£6.3m) and Eberechi Eze (£4.6m).

And up top, only Haaland (59 pts) boasts a greater points total than Mohamed Salah's (£7.3m) tally of 45.

The Egyptian superstar has burst out of the blocks with three goals and three assists in his first three outings.
