As previously reported, Liverpool suffered a 2-1 defeat to Chelsea in the seventh round of the English Premier League, conceding a decisive goal in the 95th minute.
Arne Slot's side once again failed to impress. While Dominik Szoboszlai started in midfield, he was shifted to right-back after Conor Bradley's substitution. The "Reds" are indeed going through a tough spell, having been beaten by Crystal Palace and Chelsea in the Premier League, and Galatasaray in the Champions League.
"I've said it many times before, this season will be difficult. Not just because of what's happening on the pitch, but also what's happened off it."
— commented Virgil van Dijk, Liverpool's captain, after the match. The upcoming international break in October might prove beneficial for Arne Slot's team, who are set to host Manchester United in their next Premier League fixture.
