Liverpool maintained their 100 percent Premier League record with a 1-0 win over Arsenal before the international break. The clash between last season's top two was settled by a moment of magic as Dominik Szoboszlai's 30-yard free-kick found the back of the net.
The Reds had already beaten Bournemouth and Newcastle United before the game against the Gunners and currently sit top of the table. And during a recent episode of Inside Training, supporters began to speculate online about a change being made at the club’s training ground.
Eagle-eyed fans were quick to notice and point out that some of the best moments from the season so far have been featured on a wall inside one of the training rooms.
And it has now emerged that a 'Liverpool win wall' has been created at the AXA, with Linda Pizzuti, wife of Reds' principal owner John Henry, confirming the news on social media.
Responding to a post speculating about the change, Pizzuti wrote: “Liverpool win wall.”

Liverpool return to action on Sunday against Burnley, and even though Alexander Isak could make his debut, Slot has asked for fans to be patient with him if the 25-year-old does not complete a full 90 minutes.
He said: “First of all, I think the Swedish manager, Jon Dahl Tomasson, deserves a big, big, big compliment because he gets one of the best, maybe the best striker in the world in and needs to play two very important games for his country, but understands if he would play him twice for 90 minutes, the player would have probably been injured for multiple weeks.
“That is not always easy for a manager, that he takes care of the interest of the player, so he deserves a big compliment for that and we will treat Alex the same as they did.

“So, don’t expect him every single game 90 minutes on the pitch – that’s definitely not going to happen in the upcoming weeks.
“He missed a proper pre-season, I think he missed three or four months of team sessions, so now we have to build him up gradually with us playing so many games and [having] very little training time.
“So, that’s going to be a challenge, but we’ve signed him not only for the upcoming two weeks, we’ve signed him, I think, for six years, so this is what we have to keep in mind and what the fans have to keep in mind if they see that I take him off at a certain moment or I only bring him in for a small amount of minutes. That’s all for the long-term fitness of the player.”
