The only triumphs have come in the League Cup, against West Ham United and Everton, while their last win dates back to April 26 when they thrashed relegated Leicester City 3-0.As a result, since the beginning of May, they've endured a 21-match winless streak in the league and have only managed to scrape points at home against Brentford on the final day of last season, and away at Tottenham Hotspur and at home to Brighton and Hove Albion this year.The solitary point at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium is the only time they've managed to avoid defeat on their travels this season, across all competitions, with their last away victory dating back to April at Manchester United. With Wolves heading to Anfield on a losing streak of 11 consecutive matches, it would be a significant blow for Liverpool if they failed to overcome the Premier League strugglers next weekend.Indeed, another loss for the West Midlands team would set a new record for the worst winless start to a Premier League season.
