Arne Slot has the distinction of being just the fourth manager in Premier League history to win each of his first four away games.<\/p>\n
Liverpool\u2019s 1-0 win at Crystal Palace\u00a0cemented their impressive start to the season and guaranteed top place in the table.<\/p>\n
The first-half was completely dominated by the Reds, who then went in front through Diogo Jota, before Slot’s men were forced to absorb some late pressure from the Eagles.<\/p>\n
Slot has overseen victories against Ipswich, Manchester United, Wolves and now Crystal Palace as life in the post-Jurgen Klopp era continues to flourish.<\/p>\n
The former Feyenoord manager\u2019s impact since arriving at Anfield this summer has been exceptional with the only blemish on his record being the 1-0 defeat at home to Nottingham Forest\u00a0last month.<\/p>\n
And the records continue to fall for Slot who appears to have settled in very comfortably in his new surroundings on Merseyside.<\/p>\n
Wednesday\u2019s Champions League victory over Bologna saw Slot register wins in eight of his first nine games across all competitions \u2013 the first Liverpool manager to achieve this feat.<\/p>\n
And now the 46-year-old has joined an elite group of away-day specialist managers \u2013 Felipe Scolari, John Gregory and Bobby Gould \u2013 to have won their first four away league fixtures.<\/p>\n
Ex Aston Villa boss Gregory won his first five away games, whilst ex-talkSPORT host Gould won his opening four on the road with Coventry City.<\/p>\n
However, Slot will have some way to go to eclipse Brazilian head coach Scolari who was victorious on eight consecutive occasions at the start of the 2008\/09 campaign.<\/p>\n
Slot had wasted no time in jumping at the chance to succeed Klopp in what many believed to be an impossible job after the German’s successful eight years at the club.<\/p>\n
The Reds face Chelsea, Liverpool, Brighton, Aston Villa, Manchester City, Newcastle and Everton\u00a0in the Premier League over the next two months.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, in the Champions League, Liverpool play RB Leipzig, Bundesliga champions Bayer Leverkusen and Champions League holders Real Madrid.<\/p>\n
Slot is well aware that whilst his side have delivered so far this season, the toughest tests await in the coming weeks.<\/p>\n
