Liverpool are on course for their greatest-ever season, with a commanding lead in the Premier League, a Round of 16 tie in the Champions League, and an FA Cup sixth round clash.
This is as well as the Super Cup and FIFA Club World Cup that the Reds have already added to their trophy cabinet this season.
Jurgen Klopp's side are yet to lose in the league, and have only dropped points once, away at Manchester United towards the start of the campaign.
The Reds have recorded an incredible 73 points already, and we take a look at five previous points tallies set by the Reds that this side have already beaten with three months of the season to go.
2015/16 - 60 Points
This was very much a transition season for Liverpool - with Klopp replacing Brendan Rodgers in October of that season. Rodgers left the Reds at the start of the season after some poor form and the German was seen as the ideal candidate to replace the Northern Irishman.
As well as that, it was the end of an era: with Steven Gerrard moving on from Liverpool after 17 years of first-team football for the Reds. This meant it was a chance for Jordan Henderson to take the famous number eight shirt and try and replicate Gerrard's impact at Anfield.
It all started very well for Liverpool; with a Philippe Coutinho screamer winning the opening day match away at Stoke City.
However, early on in the season, West Ham United thrashed Liverpool 3-0 at Anfield for the Reds' first defeat of the season.
Following a 1-1 draw at local rivals Everton, it was announced that Rodgers would be stepping down. Days later, Klopp was confirmed as the new Reds' boss. The German picked up his first win as Liverpool manager away at Chelsea, which turned out to be a sign of things to come.
It was such a hectic season, that in May, Klopp was in charge of his 50th game for Liverpool. The Reds ended the Premier League season with a 1-1 draw at West Bromwich Albion.
It was a season that showed plenty of promise and definitely had things to build on for Klopp. Modern day Liverpool have already smashed this points tally, which saw the Reds finish in eighth-place.
2014/15 - 62 Points
Liverpool had such a strong season in 2013/14 where they finished agonisingly close to the title, but with Luis Suarez leaving the club in the summer, it was always going to be difficult for the Reds to replace him.
However, the Reds failed to replicate the previous season's form, signing Rickie Lambert and Mario Balotelli and Fabio Borini recalled from his loan deal - but the trio failed to get going at Anfield.
The Reds spent £117m to try and replace Suarez following his move to Barcelona. Lambert, Balotelli, Adam Lallana, Emre Can, Lazar Markovic, Dejan Lovren, Divock Origi and Alberto Moreno all came into Rodgers' squad.
Liverpool started off the season with a win against Southampton with goals from Raheem Sterling and Daniel Sturridge, but were beaten in the next game by Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium.
A win against Tottenham in the next game gave Liverpool fans hope but back-to-back defeats to Aston Villa and West Ham United quickly got rid of any.
It was a season of transition for the Reds with so many transfers, in and out, and it was summed up perfectly in Steven Gerrard's final-ever game when they were thrashed 6-1 at Stoke. Liverpool already have 11 points more at the present than they did in that whole campaign.
2012/13 - 61 Points
The Reds appointed Rodgers as their new manager, taking over from Kenny Dalglish, in the summer prior to the season starting. It was a rather slow start for Rodgers on Merseyside, and it took a while for his style of play to be fully implemented at Anfield.
This was shown with a heavy opening day defeat to West Brom. It actually took Liverpool until late September, where they beat Norwich City 5-2, to record their first league victory under Rodgers. There were too many draws for the Reds with five games finishing all-square between October and November.
In the second half of the season, Liverpool began to hit some much-needed form, with a 6-0 thumping away at Newcastle perhaps the highlight of Rodgers' opening season. The signing of Sturridge from Chelsea was a very pleasing one and the English striker was showing glimpses of an explosive forward.
The Reds went eight games unbeaten at the end of the season to finish Rodgers' debut season on a positive note.
2011/12 - 52 Points
Klopp's Liverpool are already 18 points ahead of the tally in 2011/12. The Reds finished eighth in this season, their joint-lowest Premier League position, and Dalglish left the job in the summer after the season's end.
The season started with Sunderland holding the Reds to a 1-1 draw at Anfield. There were back-to-back wins for Liverpool, away at Arsenal and at home to Bolton, before two defeats on the bounce to Stoke and Tottenham.
The first half of the season was not too bad for Dalglish's side - albeit they drew a lot - but the second half of the campaign was what saw the Liverpool legend leave his position. The Reds lost six out of seven games from February 11 to April 1, with their only win a 3-0 against Everton.
Swansea City recorded a narrow win to increase the pressure on Dalglish on the final day of the season - which turned out to be the Scot's last game in charge of Liverpool.
2010/11 - 58 Points
The Reds finished in sixth-place this season, with Roy Hodgson starting the campaign as boss, but leaving the club in early January, paving the way for the return of King Kenny.
It took three games for Hodgson to get his first win as Reds manager, a 1-0 victory against West Brom, but that was the only game Liverpool managed to win in their opening eight Premier League matches.
However, they found some form with three consecutive wins over Blackburn Rovers, Bolton Wanderers and Chelsea in late October, to the start of November.
Hodgson left Anfield on January 8, with Dalglish returning to the club and he managed to get some form out of the squad - winning four on the bounce not long after being appointed as caretaker manager.
Liverpool lost their final two games of the season and home to Tottenham and then a narrow 1-0 defeat at Aston Villa.
