Liverpool

Sunday's 3-2 loss at Arsenal left Liverpool 10th in the Premier League table, and the numbers from their season so far make for grim reading.

Only Manchester City (13), Arsenal (12) and Tottenham (10) have won more points in that time. However, the Egyptian's scoring output has since been underwhelming with just two league goals in his first eight league appearances, with none at all in his last five games. Indeed, Salah's last Premier League goal came in a 2-1 defeat against Manchester United at Old Trafford on Aug. Since that fateful day, which led to Scott Parker being fired as manager, the Cherries are unbeaten in the Premier League and have collected nine points from five games under interim boss Gary O'Neil. Since then he's failed to notch against Bournemouth, Newcastle, Everton, Brighton and Arsenal. Liverpool have found themselves trailing at half-time on six occasions already this season having only been behind once at the break last term -- at Manchester City in April. The team went on to finish seventh in the table, 28 points behind champions In total, the Reds have already seen 14 points go begging this season. This comes after Klopp's side finished 23 points above the Gunners in last season's standings.

Liverpool's Virgil van Dijk believes his team's confidence has been "creeping away", after they dropped to 10th in the Premier League table following ...

Liverpool's defensive frailties, that saw Napoli net four times in the Champions League and Brighton three at Anfield last week, were laid bare again within ...

"He thought it was a penalty, which was interesting but it's his decision," the German said. Arsenal must still face champions Manchester City, who are a point behind, but this was another stern test passed by Arteta's young cohorts. "The feeling of winning is so powerful and meaningful for me," said Arteta. Then came the penalty that decided it, with VAR Darren England agreeing with referee Michael Oliver's call. Liverpool's defending, though, was their real undoing and not for the first time this season. That very same table shows Liverpool, the club that came so close to winning absolutely everything last season, trailing 14 points behind.

Referee Michael Oliver went over to speak to rival managers Mikel Arteta and Jurgen Klopp following the incident. Klopp said in his post-match television ...
