"Liverpool started the campaign with a perfect record after five rounds, though they needed late goals in all of those games to win. But things seemingly unraveled after that, with Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park and Chelsea at Stamford Bridge beating the reigning Premier League champions. International breaks have been known to break chains of good form for the Reds in the past, and they will now be wondering if this one might not break the string of bad before the situation worsens."
"Moises Caicedo struck early and Estevao Willian netted a late winner for Chelsea - either side of a Cody Gakpo equalizer, and it was extremely similar away to Palace, maybe creating a bit of karma for Liverpool after what had happened in the opening five rounds. Speaking to the press ahead of the game, head coach Arne Slot has made it clear he expects a reaction from his players."
Anfield will stage Liverpool versus Manchester United, two rivals with 20 league titles apiece, in a fiercely contested match. Liverpool won their first five league games with late goals but then lost to Crystal Palace and Chelsea, breaking early momentum. Chelsea’s win featured an early Moises Caicedo goal and a late Estevao Willian winner, with a Cody Gakpo equalizer in between. Head coach Arne Slot expects a strong reaction from his squad. Big-money signings Florian Wirtz and Alexander Isak have yet to hit top form. Ibrahima Konate faces uncertainty over his future and is a doubt after withdrawing from France's squad.
