What a difference a few weeks can make in a league as competitive as the PL! At the end of Week 5, Liverpool had a 100% record and were top of the table. Fast forward to GW11, and Arne Slot’s men have crashed to 8th in the standings.

Mere defeat at the Etihad would probably not have stung- there is no shame after all in losing to a Guardiola coached team, but the manner of the defeat certainly would have- City completely dominated proceedings and the Reds looked bereft of ideas.

New coach Enzo Maresca was a divisive figure among the club’s fans with his tactics, with several of them claiming that the former Leicester boss wasn’t quite at the level required to succeed at Stamford Bridge.
