LFC have taken 24 points of the 24 available & have won 18 straight Premier League matches dating back to last season.

In the early game, Tottenham traveled to the south coast to take on Brighton & Hove Albion. It was all Seagulls for the 90 minutes. Spurs keeper Hugo Lloris was injured on Brighton’s first goal on the day.
