The Reds are yet to win a game since sealing the 2024\/25 Premier League title.

Alisson Becker remains the undisputed no.1 at Anfield ahead of Giorgi Mamardashvili&#8217;s arrival. Ibrahima Konate and Virgil van Dijk remain Liverpool&#8217;s best centre-back pairing, while the experienced Andy Robertson <\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">keeps <\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">being<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">rotated<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> with Kostas Tsimikas in the left-back spot. <\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">The\u00a0<\/span><a class=\"editor-rtfLink\" href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/2025\/05\/05\/real-madrid-trent-alexander-arnold-transfer-agreement-done\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_self\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">outgoing Trent Alexander-Arnold<\/span><\/a><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u00a0is <\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">being<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> slowly <\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">transitioned<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> out, with Conor Bradley getting more minutes.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Read More:\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><a class=\"editor-rtfLink\" href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/2025\/05\/14\/liverpool-jeremie-frimpong-transfer\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_self\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Liverpool Push To Sign &#8216;Special&#8217; Bundesliga Defender<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">The Ryan Gravenberch and Alexis Mac Allister midfield pivot works the best for the Reds, allowing Dominik Szoboszlai to thrive ahead of them. However, with <\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">the likes of<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> Wataru Endo and Harvey Elliott needing minutes, they could get that against Brighton. <\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">In the <\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">wide<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> areas,<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> Mohamed Salah and Cody Gakpo are the best options, but Federico Chiesa is also fighting for more minutes.<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> Luis Diaz seems Liverpool&#8217;s best no.9 option right now, but Diogo Jota and Darwin Nunez are both fighting for a spot.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Liverpool&#8217;s Recent Form and Tactics<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Liverpool have dropped points in their last two games, losing to Chelsea before allowing Arsenal to come back from being 2-0 down to hold them to a 2-2 draw at Anfield in their last game. They have won three of their <\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">last<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> five games, but their most recent results mean that the Reds will not be able to breach the 90 points mark at the end of the 2024\/25 Premier League campaign.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Arne Slot, however, has stayed true to his playing style and at least tried to get his players to play clinical attacking football in the last few games. Slot keeps encouraging their counter-attacking style, utilising their speed out wide to hurt the opposition.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Read More:\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><a class=\"editor-rtfLink\" href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/2025\/03\/18\/liverpool-alexander-isak-transfer-contract-made\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_self\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Liverpool Interested In Ambitious Move For Premier League Star<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Liverpool&#8217;s back-four likes to keep a high line, with the midfield pivot often dropping back to protect them. Salah and Gakpo, to their credit, are thriving under the freedom and lack of defensive duties under Slot. This allows them to constantly drive their side without having to think of repercussions on the transitions.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Liverpool Injuries to Consider<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Arne Slot is <\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">pretty<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> fortunate to have a nearly fully fit squad available for the last few games of the campaign.
