Liverpool have got fewer league points than Manchester United, Brentford and Brighton since being confirmed as Premier League champions in April 2025.
Apart from a brief flurry at the start of 2025-26, Liverpool have been out of form since lifting the title last season.
The Reds were so dominant that they won the league four games before the end of the 2024-25 campaign.
As Spurs were thrashed 5-1 at a gloriously sunny Anfield, clinching Liverpool’s first league title in front of their own supporters since 1990, there was little inkling of what was to come.
But Slot’s side failed to win any of their remaining matches, perhaps understandably treating those May fixtures as an extended victory parade.
The optimism remained undimmed and only grew after a summer transfer window spend of over £400million on the likes of Florian Wirtz and Alexander Isak.
Even their start to the 2025-26 season sustained the illusion, although four of their five Premier League victories came through late winners.
But defeat at Crystal Palace towards the end of September 2025 acted as a brutal reality check. Defeats to Chelsea, Manchester United and Brentford quickly followed in a string of worsening performances.
Slot has somewhat steadied the ship since, but Liverpool have rarely looked convincing all year and are qualifying for the Champions League due to the collapse of others.
To illustrate this isn’t just a temporary blip, we’ve looked at the table since the end of April 2025 and discovered that Liverpool are in something of a rut.
