Slot lost three games in a row for the first time in his career when Liverpool fell to a 2-1 defeat by Chelsea earlier in October

Four defeats in a row, fourth in the Premier League table and four points behind leaders Arsenal. Something has gone wrong at Liverpool.

For a team that cantered to the league title last season, Liverpool suddenly look vulnerable at the back, lethargic in midfield and toothless in attack.

To make matters worse, Arne Slot - after spending almost £450m on new talent - doesn't seem to know his best starting XI.

In Sunday's 2-1 defeat by Manchester United at Anfield, summer signings Florian Wirtz, Hugo Ekitike and Jeremie Frimpong - signed for a combined £214.5m - all started on the bench.
