What are the current standings?

What are they saying?

"It's just the beginning.

"For me, a complete game is the possibility to play counter-attack, when we have to defend deep, or to play in set attack, against a strong defensive unit. We need to have a response against any opponent."
Leicester City manager Claude Puel

 

"You can see Claude Puel's work is now paying off at Leicester. They have changed the style a bit. It is good football they are playing and are full of confidence especially after the last result.

The midfield is really strong. Looks good, defensive line has played together for a while. Ben Chilwell is a massive player for them. Great future, looks a big talent, is a good player."
Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp
