Arne Slot one game away from equalling 72-year Liverpool record

Liverpool are in the midst of an AWFUL run of form. The Premier League champions have been defeated in each of their last four outings - three in the top flight and one in the Champions League.

Arne Slot’s side have come out second best in the league to Crystal Palace, Chelsea and most recently Crystal Palace.

Each game was lost 2-1 with the Reds having fallen behind and equalised in all three. Slot is due to undertake some soul searching before the Champions League game against Eintracht Frankfurt on Wednesday night.

He will need to find the right formula in order to avoid a second successive defeat in the competition following the matchday two loss at Galatasaray.

Liverpool lose four in a row

Liverpool are already on their worst run of form for over a decade. Back in November 2014 under Brendan Rodgers, the Reds last lost four in a row. They lost league matches against Newcastle as well as Chelsea and Crystal Palace.

Real Madrid also beat the Reds during that sequence.

But the last time they lost FIVE in a row was 72 YEARS ago - meaning Slot is desperate to avoid matching an unwanted record.

“If they lose for the fifth time in a row to Eintracht Frankfurt in the Champions League on Wednesday, it would be the first time Liverpool have suffered this fate since September 1953,” a report on BBC Sport reads.

Liverpool need to get back to their best

Liverpool were relegated from the top flight during the 1953/54 season - and those five defeats in a row back in September ‘53 certainly didn’t help.

If this side doesn’t manage to avoid a defeat at Eintracht Frankfurt then the run of form will reach historically bad proportions. The scale of Liverpool’s problem at the moment right now is made all the worse because things were supposed to be better this season.

To a Premier League title-winning squad was added £450m worth of talent. New forwards in the shape of Florian Wirtz and Alexander Isak haven’t yet clicked - and Liverpool need to get firing on all cylinders and fast.
