Liverpool have seen a massive drop in their fortunes this season. They are nowhere near Manchester City in the Premier League table and it would be a huge turnaround if the Reds manage to secure a top-four finish. Not only the Merseyside giants lost to Manchester United and Arsenal but also took a beating at the hands of Nottingham Forest and Leeds United in the English top-flight this campaign.
However, they still managed to enter the World Cup break on a high note after registering four successive victories across all competitions. The Reds bounced back from their disappointing home loss to outclass Napoli in the Champions League by 2-0, with Mohamed Salah and Darwin Nunez providing two late goals. The Egyptian superstar delivered another masterclass in the following Premier League game at Tottenham Hotspur, netting a double to help his side to a comfortable 2-1 success.
Jurgen Klopp’s men subsequently prevailed over Derby County on penalties in the EFL Cup before another excellent display at home saw them recording a 3-1 win against Southampton. There have been many positives for Liverpool before the World Cup break but they will now have to be very consistent if they want to finish in the top-four by the end of the season.
The Merseyside outfit are currently sixth in the Premier League standings having 22 points from 14 matches.
