Five grim stats as Liverpool’s season hits new low: Worst set-piece record and no top-10 away wins

Liverpool's challenging campaign reached a new nadir this weekend after losing 3-2 at Manchester United.

Arne Slot's side fell two goals behind inside the opening quarter of an hour, and despite rallying to level after half-time, Kobbie Mainoo's campaign condemned the Reds to another disappointing defeat.

The pressure is on Slot, whose side have been a pale imitation of last season'sPremier League winners.

"I'm not here to make excuses," Liverpool captainVirgil van Dijk reflected at full-time.

"It's been a very disappointing season, an unacceptable season, and it's tough. We shouldn't feel sorry for ourselves whatsoever.

"We have to work and turn this around and make sure that next season these things don't happen. It's not Liverpool. I think it's unacceptable that we have lost too many times as defending champions of thePremier League and we shouldn't accept it.

"There will be a lot of work that has to be done going into next season. When I am back from the World Cup I will go into it, but there is a lot of work to be done behind the scenes."

Following the club's latest loss, we've looked at some stats that make for grim reading.
