Not only do Liverpool go into their Champions League opener against Paris Saint-Germain on the back of five consecutive wins in the league, but the Reds go into the fixture on the back of some exemplary form at home.
During the course of last season Liverpool lost just a single game at home at the hands of West Bromwich Albion in the FA Cup. Since then Liverpool have gotten better over time as they've grown as a team and PSG face a battle and a half as the Reds have just been devastating in Europe.
Liverpool were the competition's highest scorers in last season's campaign tallying 30 goals and were right up there with the Persians as the highest scoring teams across Europe's top leagues.
Only Sevilla and Portuguese giants FC Porto came away a result from Anfield holding Liverpool to draws on both occasions. English champions and Italian giants AS Roma were set provide Juregen Klopp's men their stiffest test, but were easily felled as the Reds proved too much when they got into their flow.
Liverpool ran out with 3-0 and 4-1 wins respectively, and after this weekend's game against Spurs should be fully ready for even the likes of PSG who don't fair so well away from home against Europe's big guns.
In previous clashes against Real Madrid, Barcelona and Bayern Munich PSG have lost away from home. Even given that, you can't count them out with Kylian Mbappe, Edinson Cavanni and Neymar in their ranks.
The trio scored a total of 81 goals last season and picked up where they left off scoring 11 times in four games. Given the firepower on display tonight fans could be set for scintillating night of football.
