Liverpool's next five matches provide real chance to close gap on Premier League pacesetters

Jurgen Klopp's Liverpool team are struggling to build momentum as their disappointing start to the Premier League season continued with a draw against Everton on Saturday afternoon.

Whereas a point at Goodison Park in the Merseyside derby can often be considered an acceptable result, this was the Reds' third draw of the season after just six matches. Defeat to Manchester United means that Jurgen Klopp's only victories so far this campaign have come in the 9-0 demolition of sorry Bournemouth and a last-gasp triumph over Newcastle United last Wednesday evening.

It leaves the 2021-22 Premier League runners-up with just nine points from their first six matches, currently placing them sixth in the early standings. With Arsenal and champions Manchester City already building up a head of steam, a decent run of results is required to try and make up some lost ground.
