The Reds return from the extended international break by hosting the current Premier League leaders at Anfield on Sunday.
Seven competitive matches into his reign as head coach, Iraola has been pleased with what he has seen from his squad so far but outlined where improvements can be made.
The 44-year-old sat down with beIN SPORTS ahead of the clash with Enzo Maresca's men – read on for the best bits from the interview.
**On his start at Liverpool...**
I think the international break is a moment to reflect because we have normally a crazier schedule. You go two, three days preparing the next game. Then you need, I think, a break, analyse how the season has gone so far. I think we have a good amount of games already to analyse and see the things that we've done well and things that I think can improve.
**On targets for the season...**
We didn't have a specific this points \[total\] or this position or this. No, I think we have to arrive as high as we can, we have to be the best team we can be. I don't know where this will put us but I'm sure that if we can give these players a good platform, a good structure, we will be there fighting for the titles, yes.
