Liverpool have only lost three matches in all competitions in Arne Slot 36 games in charge

Slot knows what it is like to win a championship, having won the Dutch Eredivisie with Feyenoord and, worryingly for Liverpool’s title rivals, the Reds are not showing any signs of slipping up.
This latest win extends their unbeaten league run to 19, since they were beaten 1-0 at home by Forest on 14 September.
