Liverpool might have got 2023 off to the worst possible start, but if they can come close to replicating their record from last year, better times are only around the corner.
The Reds had been hoping to chalk up a fifth consecutive league win against Brentford on Tuesday night, but instead were left with egg on their face after the Bees swarmed on Jurgen Klopp's rattled players to pull off a stinging 3-1 home win for Thomas Frank's side.
The result stopped Liverpool from moving up to fifth place in the Premier League, as Manchester United and Newcastle United were able to increase their advantage on the Merseysiders on Wednesday night. The defeat was Liverpool's fifth in the Premier League already this season as Klopp's side have made a stuttering start to the new campaign.
