Liverpool bounced back from their unexpected defeat to Nottingham Forest with a commanding 3-0 win over AFC Bournemouth in the Premier League this weekend.
The Reds put in a professional performance, racing to a 3-0 lead within the first 37 minutes, thanks to goals from Luis Diaz and Darwin Nunez.
With this victory, coupled with their midweek win over AC Milan in the Champions League, any concerns about Arne Slot’s start as Liverpool manager have been quickly quelled.
The Merseyside club is once again showing the form that has fans excited about the season ahead.

According to TeamTalk, the Reds are actively monitoring the Hungarian international as they begin their search for a long-term replacement for Andy Robertson at left-back.
Kerkez, who joined Bournemouth from AZ Alkmaar for £15 million last year, has quickly made a name for himself in the Premier League.
At just 20 years old, Kerkez has already become a trusted player under Bournemouth manager Andoni Iraola, further raising his profile as a potential target for top clubs like Liverpool.
Kerkez pretty much perfect for Liverpool’s future plans

With Andy Robertson and Kostas Tsimikas both approaching their 30s, Liverpool are keen to find a young, dynamic fullback who can step into the role when needed.
The Hungarian defender has shown he is more than capable of handling the Premier League’s demands, and his consistent performances have caught the attention of Liverpool’s recruitment team.

Given the Reds’ need to plan for the future, Kerkez is seen as a strong candidate to eventually take over as Liverpool’s left-back.
With Liverpool’s ongoing interest, a move for Kerkez could come as early as January or next summer. The defender’s impressive form makes him an attractive option for the club, and it wouldn’t be surprising if the Reds ramp up their pursuit of the youngster as they prepare for life after Robertson.
