The draw means that the Reds are winless in their last three games at Anfield in all competitions.The last home win came in the Champions League against Real Madrid, exactly a month ago. Since then, they have fallen to a 3-0 defeat against Nottingham Forest and a 4-1 loss vs PSV in the Champions League as well as drawing against Sunderland.According to Opta, that result marks the first time Liverpool have failed to win in three consecutive home games in almost five years.

It could be argued that the lack of home fans had an impact on the team.The run under Klopp started on December 27 with a 1-1 draw against West Bromwich Albion.There was then a 0-0 draw vs Manchester United, 1-0 losses vs Burnley and Brighton, a 4-1 defeat at the hands of Man City, a 2-0 defeat against Everton and 1-0 losses to Chelsea and Fulham. The Reds got back to winning ways at Anfield with a 2-0 Champions League victory over RB Leipzig on March 10.Both the season before and the season after, they remained unbeaten at home in the Premier League.Given Liverpool’s struggles this season, it’s a run that Slot will want to end sooner rather than later.
