Journalist: This Liverpool Star is Proving his Worth Despite Recent StrugglesLiverpool’s recent slump under Arne Slot has been brutal to watch. The 3-2 defeat away to Brentford summed up a run of

Gtech Community Stadium, London —Liverpool were condemned to a fourth straight Premier League defeat, tumbling to a 3–2 loss away to Brentford on Saturday night.

Liverpool has dropped three straight league matches, largely unthinkable after last season’s dominance and a 5-for-5 opening through Sept. 20. The tensions are mounting and the room for error is constricting.

The defending English Premier League champions look to get back on the winning track on Saturday, as Liverpool pays a visit to Brentford. Liverpool stormed out of the gates at the beginning of the 2025-26 season, and certainly looked like a club that had more than enough gusto to win a second straight league title.

Champions Liverpool suffered a fourth successive Premier League defeat to continue their miserable run of form in the capital.

Former Manchester United captain Wayne Rooney believes Liverpool are struggling this season due to a lack of leadership from senior players like Virgil van Dijk and Mohamed Salah.

Jamie Carragher has said Liverpool are in "crisis mode" after losing four straight games in the Premier League.

No title defence is over after nine league games, but Liverpool’s attempt feels like it is heading that way quickly. Title winners do not lose four games in a row, but they also rarely look as disjointed as Slot’s side currently do.

It is Manchester City rather than Liverpool who are billed as Arsenal’s closest challengers. Pep Guardiola’s side may have also stumbled on Sunday, falling to a 1–0 reverse against Aston Villa, but the four-match losing streak endured by Arne Slot’s side has relegated them to the status of third place.

Liverpool continues its defense of last season’s English Premier League title with a Saturday tilt against emerging Brentford on the road.

Liverpool are scratching their heads following a fourth-straight Premier League loss, this one a 3-2 defeat to Brentford at the Gtech Community Stadium on Saturday.
