Jürgen Klopp’s side has largely played well in two draws, but such is the standard both it and Man City have set in recent years, that the tiniest of slips could prove costly.
Last season, the Premier League champion, Manchester City, dropped 21 points total. The season before, title-winning Man City dropped 28 points, but that felt like a pandemic-related aberration. The season before that, Liverpool dropped 15 points and the season before, City dropped 16. One more before that, City dropped 14 points. This season, after draws at Fulham and home vs. Crystal Palace, Liverpool has already dropped four.
