Liverpool are not close to being the finished product after the summer overhaul, but they are currently one point better off compared to the same fixtures last season. It is no secret that Liverpool have struggled for form this season, and their three successive defeats across all competitions shone a brighter light on the work that still needs to be done.

Arne Slot has changed his personnel and system and with it has seen Liverpool relinquish the control in matches that they were praised for last season. All that said, Liverpool are actually one point better off compared to last season’s corresponding fixtures (which sees Burnley replace Ipswich).

The latter, however, must be remembered in the context that Liverpool were still celebrating their league title when they made that trip last season, whereas this time they came up against a side besieged by injury. However, last season that run included just one match against the previous campaign’s top eight, whereas Slot’s side have already faced three teams from that part of the ladder this time around.
