Just a reminder that Liverpool have lost back-to-back matches for only the second
time under Arne Slot, who took over for the 2024-25 season.
The first time came in March when the Reds were beaten in
the last 16 of the Champions League by eventual winners Paris St-Germain, and then lost in the EFL
Cup final to Newcastle five days later.
The following international break gave them over a fortnight
to lick their wounds and they responded by winning four of their next five
matches, a run that began with a derby win over Everton and ended with them
clinching the Premier League title against Spurs.
Liverpool haven’t lost three in a row since Jurgen Klopp was
in charge in the spring of 2023, when another last-16 exit in the Champions
League was sandwiched between Premier League defeats by Bournemouth and
Manchester City.
Next up for Slot’s side is Chelsea on Saturday
at Stamford Bridge, a fixture they lost 3-1 last season, albeit with the title
already wrapped up.
