Liverpool’s worst league start in 10 years has seen their summer recruitment come under scrutiny. Most of the club’s transfer budget was splashed on striker Darwin Nunez, who has taken time to adjust to Klopp’s methods, while the decision not to reinforce an ageing midfield now looks questionable

After five years of duelling for Premier League supremacy, Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp believes Erling Haaland’s arrival at Manchester City has made the difficult task of winning a title almost impossible.
Liverpool’s first title in 30 years in 2019-20 interrupted City’s run of four Premier League wins in five seasons, but twice Pep Guardiola’s men have pipped the Reds by a solitary point, in 2018-19 and again last season. But Klopp’s men head into the first league meeting between the sides this season at Anfield on Sunday already 13 points behind the champions.
