Liverpool chief executive Peter Moore says the Reds are "back on our perch" - a phrase famously used by former Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson about the Anfield club.
After arriving at Old Trafford in 1986, Ferguson said his first job was to "knock Liverpool right off their perch".
The Scot proceeded to win 13 Premier Leagues before retiring in 2013, taking their tally of English top-flight titles to 20, compared with Liverpool's 18.
But Moore, a lifelong Liverpool fan who was appointed by the club in 2017, thinks the Champions League winners have regained their old status.
The Reds were crowned European champions for the sixth time in June and are five points clear of Manchester City - and 10 ahead of United - at the top of the Premier League after winning all six of their games this season.
They have only lost once in their past 45 top-flight matches, finishing a point behind champions City last term.
"We are back on our perch, as we famously say," Moore told former Liverpool striker Michael Robinson, who is now one of Spain's leading sports broadcasters, during an interview at the World Football Summit in Madrid.

It’s been soooo long. But things are going very well for Liverpool. But talk about blowing your load!
Back on the Perch.
So Liverpool are back at the tippy top looking down on everyone are they?
Yeah, sure, let’s just dismiss the back to back titles of the current champions Man City.
How embarrassing.. and they were doing so well.
In 2005 I didn’t hear Gerrard say they were back on their Perch?
They that desperate for clout?!
I haven’t heard Liverpool fans say it, cos they know they saving that line for the League Title.
But a prawn eating suit says it anyway.... damn fool.
You better win that title. No excuses now...

I'm afraid you don't get to choose what major honours are ti suit your argument.
............
So we will ignore the ones Liverpool fans use then.
Thanks for your input.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
For example? There is no point Liverpool fans using minor honours as United have more.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Do you not remember that red banner that had all the honours including the CS. As soon as united started winning it, it became irrelevant. Or is that forgotten?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
No. I don't remember that at all.

You were a nob then too but;
====================================
when Fergie made the Liverpool off their perch comment they had 18 league titles to United's 7
that was a perch and united won 13 without response to knock said club off their perch.
they have yet to win the league or establish the same level of gap they had since, ergo can't be back on a perch
