Liverpool eye new club record ahead of Wolves clash | OneFootball

Liverpool could break a defensive club record with a clean sheet in Saturday's trip to Wolverhampton Wanderers.

The Reds have enjoyed a sensational start to life under new manager Arne Slot, winning four of their five Premier League games and scoring ten goals in the process, while they even thumped both AC Milan and West Ham United in the Champions League and Carabao Cup respectively.

Liverpool have conceded just once so far in domestic action - Callum Hudson-Odoi's strike in the 1-0 defeat to Nottingham Forest - and could break the club record for fewest goals conceded across the opening six games of a season with a shut-out against Wolves.

Whether they will break that record remains to be seen. While they have secured comfortable wins in their last two outings against Bournemouth and West Ham, Liverpool have endured a handful of shaky moments at the back and relied on stand-in goalkeeper Caoimhin Kelleher to save the day.

"The last thing you say is very important for us in the last two games – that we have a lot of quality in that position," Slot explained. "On the other end, we create a lot, a lot of chances as well. But in an ideal world, we don't concede as much as we did in the last two games.

"But if there is one big difference for me between my former club and the competition I worked in and this competition, [it] is that every team has so many quality players in their squad and in their team that they are always able to create chances as well. So, you also have to give credit to the teams we face and the quality they have.

"But we need to do better in that aspect if we want to keep clean sheets more and more often. We keep emphasising on that. One of the reasons why the other team doesn't score that easy, it's also because we have a good goalkeeper. But if you every time count the bodies that are inside our 18-yard box the moment the other team gets a chance, that's also a real positive thing and it makes it more difficult for the other team to score as well."
