The defending champions suffered a crushing 3-0 home defeat to Nottingham Forest on Saturday, marking their joint-heaviest loss at home in the Premier League era. This setback brings their tally to six defeats in their last seven league matches, a startling fall from grace for a side once at the top of the pile.
This latest collapse not only leaves Liverpool down in 11th place in the table, but also highlights mounting issues. Forest’s decisive goals exposed a team in disarray, reiterating that Liverpool’s title defence is now in serious jeopardy.

Player of Matchweek 11: Jeremy Doku
Manchester City winger Jeremy Doku was the best player in Matchweek 11. Just ask Liverpool full-back Conor Bradley who suffered a torrid time against the Belgium international during City’s 3-0 win over the Reds at the Etihad.
Doku’s dazzling dribbling and fine solo goal saw him voted Player of the Matchweek in the latest official Premier League poll.
The 23-year-old picked up 40 per cent of the vote while his closest challengers were some way back with Sunderland’s Dan Ballard securing 21 per cent, and Chelsea’s Alejandro Garnacho getting 20 per cent.
The other five nominees were Emiliano Buendia and Igor Thiago (both five per cent), Tomas Soucek (four per cent), Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall (three per cent) and Omari Hutchinson (two per cent).

Player of Matchweek 10: Moises Caicedo
Chelsea’s influential midfielder Moises Caicedo has been named Player of the Matchweek for Premier League round 10.
The Ecuadorian topped the official Premier League fan poll for his dominant display in Chelsea’s 1-0 win at London rivals Tottenham last weekend.
“Caicedo delivered a trademark powerhouse performance,” wrote the Premier League. “He made two tackles and four interceptions, along with seven ball recoveries, with two of those interventions coming in one amazing sequence as he dispossessed both Djed Spence and Micky van de Ven and set up Joao Pedro to score the winning goal.”
The Chelsea star picked up 30 per cent of the vote but was closely followed behind by prolific Manchester City striker Erling Haaland, who garnered 23 per cent of the vote following his brace against Bournemouth.
The six other nominees for Matchweek 10 included Declan Rice (16 per cent), Freddie Potts (14 per cent), Dominik Szoboszlai (12 per cent), Diego Gomez and Ryan Sessegnon (both two per cent), as well as Jefferson Lerma (one per cent).
Caicedo also won this award earlier in the season in Matchweek 7.

Player of Matchweek 9: Bryan Mbeumo
Manchester United’s summer signing Bryan Mbeumo was finally recognised by fans for his strong start to life at Old Trafford.
Mbeumo found the back of the net twice to inspire United to a 4-2 win over bogey team Brighton last weekend.
For his heroics, the former Brentford star was named Player of Matchweek 9 in the official Premier League fan poll. He is the second straight Man United player to win the award following Harry Maguire’s efforts against Liverpool in Matchweek 8.
Mbeumo’s electric play was crucial to United picking up a third consecutive victory, and this was reflected in the poll where he took 45 per cent of the vote. His closest challenger was Tottenham Hotspur’s Micky van de Ven (27 per cent).
The other six nominees were Eberechi Eze (10 per cent), Brenden Aaronson (six per cent), Amadou Onana and Granit Xhaka (both four per cent), as well as Zian Flemming and Michael Kayode (both two per cent).

Player of Matchweek 8: Harry Maguire
Manchester United defender Harry Maguire has been recognised by fans for his heroics against Premier League rivals Liverpool.
The England defender was a towering presence at the back as he kept the partnership of Mohamed Salah and Alexander Isak in check while also popping up with the decisive goal for United’s 2-1 win at Anfield last weekend.
Maguire was named the best player in the Premier League for Matchweek 8 following an official fan poll this week.
Maguire easily took the award with 42 per cent of the vote after his 84th-minute header secured a first Man United victory at Anfield since January 2016.
Manchester City striker Erling Haaland, who scored twice in a 2-0 win over Everton at the Etihad, was second in the poll with 14 per cent.
Crystal Palace’s hat-trick hero against Bournemouth, Jean-Philippe Mateta was third on the list with 12 per cent while Bukayo Saka received 11 per cent of the vote for inspiring Premier League leaders Arsenal to a 1-0 win at Fulham.
The rest of the nominations were Reece James (10 per cent), Nordi Mukiele (seven per cent), Pedro Neto (three per cent) and Junior Kroupi (one per cent).

Meanwhile, Semenyo finished second in the official polling after garnering 22 per cent of the votes for his brace in Bournemouth’s 3-1 win at home against Fulham.

Manchester City goal-machine Erling Haaland was voted the best player from Premier League matchweek 6.
The Norwegian struck a late brace to cap a 5-1 win for Pep Guardiola’s side at home against Burnley. Haaland’s goals also made him the most prolific Norwegian in Premier League history, with 93 goals which is two ahead of Manchester United legend Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.
