Reds fast start to the season has got fans hoping for success.

Arne Slot's impressive start to the season has got Liverpool fans dreaming of more silverware this season.

The Dutchman faced the daunting task of following in Jurgen Klopp's formidable footsteps, but the early signs have been positive, and club legend Mark Lawrenson has outlined what would be a successful season for the new Liverpool boss. 

Speaking exclusively to DAZN, thanks to Free Bets, the former defender had a simple message for Slot on what is expected from his first campaign in charge. 

"Top three, definitely," Lawrenson said. 

"Because the top three, as we all know, they were outstanding. So the top three definitely and win a competition.

"And if you could win another one, great. And I don't think, you know, having been there for so long, you can't choose which competition you're going to win. It doesn't happen that way. So if you win one, happy days.  If you win two, even better."

The Reds have won all three of their Premier League games so far, matching champions Manchester City, but although it's been an impressive start, Lawrenson has warned fans not to get carried away. 

Adding: "Good start, obviously. You'd expect to win at Ipswich, which they did. Turn Brentford over at home, which they did. The United one, you think, if you get a point, obviously that's good enough. But, I mean, they could have scored six or seven against them. And they made it look very, very easy as well as Liverpool played - Man United were awful.

"Forest on Saturday. So you'd expect them to win again. But then it's only four games, isn't it?  But everyone is going, oh, they're going to win the league. They're going to do that, but it's an awful long way."
