Premier League 2025-26: ‘Quality’ Liverpool Will Overcome Slump, Says Van Dijk
Liverpool's defense has conceded multiple late goals and failed to keep a clean sheet in nine games, causing a drop to sixth place in the Premier League.
- On Saturday Liverpool captain Virgil van Dijk said the Reds' quality will show if the squad sticks together after a fourth consecutive Premier League defeat to Brentford in west London.
- Over the past month, Liverpool's title defence has collapsed, as the Reds conceded two or more goals in six of their nine league games and gone nine matches without a clean sheet.
- Brentford's set pieces and counters exposed Liverpool in a 3-2 west London defeat, with Slot calling it the worst of the four losses, following late goals by Crystal Palace, Chelsea, and Manchester United.
- Arne Slot said `Everyone has to look in the mirror, including myself` as Arsenal could open a seven-point advantage over his men on Sunday.
- Players asked fans who celebrated with them last year to continue backing Liverpool players, saying recovery requires action, not just talk.
