It has been the perfect start to the season as far as Liverpool are concerned.
Played two, won two, scored six, conceded zero. Jurgen Klopp's side looked like they could be contenders before a ball was kicked, and two games into the new campaign they look in even better shape.
Now they will look to make it three wins from three as they welcome Brighton and Hove Albion to Anfield for the Saturday evening game.
Albion, of course, bloodied the nose of another title hopeful, Manchester United, at the AmEx last weekend and Chris Hughton's men would love to do similar to the Reds this time around.
Here, Goal takes a look at everything you need to know ahead of Monday's meeting...
Liverpool injuries
Liverpool will still be without Dejan Lovren, who is a couple of weeks away from returning after an abdominal problem, while Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain is a long-term absentee as he recovers from a knee injury.
Elsewhere, it looks like a clean bill of health for the Reds, with Joel Matip back fit, and Fabinho available despite being left out of the 18-man squad at Crystal Palace on Monday.

Liverpool suspensions
Liverpool do not have any suspended players for this game.
Likely Liverpool starting line-up
Klopp named an unchanged side for Monday's win at Selhurst Park, and the temptation will be to do likewise here.
He was, however, critical of his full-backs after the game at Palace, suggesting they need to offer more in an offensive sense. Would Nathaniel Clyne or Alberto Moreno offer more though? Unlikely.
In midfield, he has options galore with Jordan Henderson, Adam Lallana and Fabinho all raring to go. Fabinho was left out of the squad on Monday but a home game may be more to his suiting. Naby Keita, Gini Wijnaldum and James Milner have the nod for now, though.
And we didn't see Xherdan Shaqiri at all against Palace, with Daniel Sturridge appearing only in stoppage time. Options all over the place; a handy problem to have.
Brighton team news
The Seagulls have worries over defensive duo Lewis Dunk (ankle) and Bruno (hamstring) with both rated as doubtful for this weekend's clash - Dunk may be relieved about that, having scored no fewer than three own goals against Liverpool in past meetings.
Jose Izqueirdo, the Colombian winger, is also struggling with a knock while new signing Florin Andone is a doubt too.
TV channel & kick-off time
The fixture will be broadcast live in the UK (United Kingdom) on BT Sports 1, kick off 5.30pm BST.
In the United States , the game can be watched live on television on NBC Sports, kick off 12.30pm ET.
