Liverpool have not lost back-to-back league games under Slot, and the last time the club experienced two games without points was in April 2023 after defeats to Bournemouth and Man City. And not since April 2023 have Liverpool lost a third successive match in all competitions.

45, he will achieve the milestone in fewer games than any other previous manager in club history (Kenny Dalglish 48 games) • Mo Salah needs two goals to bring up 250 for Liverpool in all games and one to move into outright second place on the all-time list of Liverpool scorers away from Anfield • No player has ever scored a hat-trick for Liverpool at Stamford Bridge • Giorgi Mamardashvili will become the 265th player to appear for Liverpool in the Premier League Bad omens… Liverpool have conceded three of their seven league goals this season from the 76th minute onwards. They have also lost each of their last three league visits to the capital, at Crystal Palace last week and at Fulham and Chelsea last season.

They have now not won in their last three league games since a 2-0 home win over Fulham. The Blues have conceded at last twice in each of the last three league games, as many as they had done in the 15 matches prior to that.
