Liverpool will be pleased with their current position at the second international break of the 2023-24 season.
Despite a summer that saw several senior player depart, including captain Jordan Henderson and fans’ favourite Roberto Firmino, the Reds have made a smooth transition. Given that Jurgen Klopp’s side finished just fifth in the Premier League last term and scarcely challenged for silverware, things are again positive at Anfield.
After eight games, Liverpool sit fourth in the table and only thre points off the summit. Meanwhile, they have won both of their opening Europa League matches and cruised into the fourth round of the Carabao Cup.
Plenty of the Reds’ squad have now linked up with their respective nations and Klopp’s side are not back in action until they face Everton in the Merseyside derby on Saturday 21 October. With the season on hiatus, LiverpoolWorld has reflected on events so far and rated each player so far on their performances.

15. Harvey Elliott - 6
Looked good when he’s come off the bench and in cup competitions. However, Elliott struggled against Brighton and was substituted at half-time and where his best position long-term is remains to be seen. | Liverpool FC via Getty Images
