Liverpool are in crisis after suffering an embarrassing 2-1 defeat to Manchester United at home - their fourth straight loss in a row in all competitions.

A dismal performance at Anfield saw the champions lose a third Premier League game on the bounce as manager Arne Slot faces the first major challenge of his time in England. Goals from Bryan Mbeumo and Harry Maguire saw United triumph over their bitter rivals, while Cody Gakpo netted for the Reds.

It follows a huge summer spending spree as Slot ripped up the team that won the title and shelled out a whopping £446m on players such as Florian Wirtz, Alexander Isak, Milos Kerkez, Jeremie Frimpong, Giovanni Leoni and Hugo Ekitike. However, balancing such an array of talents and finding the right mix can take time, as evidenced by the Reds' inconsistent performances.

Next up is a trip away to Eintracht Frankfurt in the Champions League. Here's all the latest news from Anfield.
