Leeds manager Daniel Farke says he was “always confident” about troubling Liverpool from set pieces, suggesting the Reds are easy to exploit. “It is difficult to win any headers against Van Dijk and Konate, but nevertheless, we are still confident and back ourselves that we can score.” Are Liverpool the Premier League’s softest touch?

“I don’t think there’s any team in the world that can be in a higher league position than we are if you concede 10 set-pieces and have not scored in the Premier League once unless you count that Dominik free-kick [against Arsenal],” Slot said. “For me, it’s not the setup, because it’s the same setup as we had last season where we hardly conceded, or not concede at all, in the first half of the season.

If I tell you now it’s bad luck, then you probably say that’s a bit too much after 15 games.” Only Nottingham Forest (11) have conceded more goals from set-pieces in the Premier League this season (excl. penalties) than Liverpool (10). It’s more than the Reds shipped from set plays in the whole of 2024/25 in the league (9). ? https://t.co/5oKDU45HD4 — Squawka (@Squawka) December 6, 2025 Liverpool are ultimately a soft touch this season, as the Premier League table suggests, and it has to change for Slot’s sake.
