Liverpool suffer 10th Premier League defeat of season in Brighton loss

Liverpool’s dismal 2025/26 Premier League campaign hit a new low on Saturday, as they slumped to a defeat at Brighton, marking their 10th league loss of the season – the most by this stage since the troubled 2015/16 campaign under Brendan Rodgers.

Slot, who took over from Jürgen Klopp last summer, has now presided over a string of high-profile setbacks, including twice to Manchester City, plus losses to Manchester United, Chelsea, and surprising defeats to mid-table outfits like Nottingham Forest and Bournemouth.

These results have exposed deep tactical frailties and plummeting morale, with Liverpool’s once-fierce title challenge now in tatters.

The club sits perilously placed, at serious risk of missing out on Champions League qualification for next season – a far cry from their early-season promise.

Fan frustration has boiled over, with sacking demands for Slot echoing louder after each stumble.
