Been waiting for this!!! ☺️☺️

5 chances created from Florian Wirtz tonight - more than any player in the match.

16 chances created in his first 4 Champions League games for Liverpool - the most any #LFC player has created over a run of 4 Champions League apps on Opta's records.

I don't think a lucky win would've done anything for Liverpool tonight, they desperately needed to put on an improved performance as well. And Arne Slot got that as his team ended up fully deserved winners thanks to the sort of controlled 2-0 win we saw so often last season.

Aston Villa are the 10th club Mo Salah has scored 10+ goals against for #LFC (also Arsenal, Bournemouth, Brighton, Man City, Man Utd, Newcastle, Southampton, Spurs, West Ham).

He's just the 2nd Liverpool player to score 10+ goals against 10+ sides, after Ian Rush (11).

Liverpool have lost 6 of their last 7 games in all competitions.

It's only the second time in the last 70 years that they've lost 6 times in any run of 7 games within a single season, after September-October 2009 under Rafa Benítez.

Shohei Ohtani is the first player to reach base eight times in a game (regular season or postseason) since Melky Cabrera did so on August 10, 2014.

Liverpool have conceded in the opening 15 minutes of 4 consecutive Premier League games for the first time since January 1996.

Alexander Isak forced off with a groin issue, Arne Slot reveals.

4 - Liverpool have lost four consecutive games in all competitions for the first time since November 2014 under Brendan Rodgers. Sobering.

Liverpool had the chances to win today but, if they had, it would have papered over the cracks. They don't look like champions because the summer ensured this isn't the same team that won it, and any defence of their title will be over by the time they work out all these issues.

Maybe lunch after the bottom of 14th…

Chelsea (A) 2025-26 - The Stats To read this, and all of Michael’s Liverpool stat round-ups, please subscribe below.

Since the start of last season, Liverpool have conceded 2+ goals in 16 matches away from Anfield - no current Premier League side has done so more times outside their home ground in this time.

I look at the numbers in my round-up of the Chelsea loss. #LFC

3 - Martin Ødegaard is the first player in Premier League history to be substituted before half time in three consecutive Premier League starts. Prone.

David Moyes has still never won at Anfield in 23 attempts (D7 L16).

It's the joint-longest ever winless run by a visiting manager at Anfield v Liverpool, along with Bobby Robson from 1968 to 2004 and Brian Clough from 1971 to 1993.

Mo Salah is the first Liverpool player to both score and assist a goal in the opening 6 minutes of any match since Steve McManaman v Aston Villa in March 1996. #LFC

Aged 17 years and 19 days, Rio Ngumoha is the youngest player ever to play in European competition for Liverpool, taking Trey Nyoni's record (17y 213d) set v PSV last season. #LFC

#lfc missed six big chances. Atleti created none. On another day it's a battering.

Mo Salah leaps in celebration after scoring Liverpool's winner v Burnley.

4 - Liverpool are the first side in Premier League history to win four consecutive games thanks to winning goals scored in the final 10 minutes or later. Spirit.

Mo Salah holds his hand on the Liverpool badge on his kit after scoring the winner v Burnley.

6 - Six of Liverpool's last nine 90th-minute winning goals in the Premier League have been scored (1) or assisted (5) by Mo Salah - although today was the first time he scored a 90th-minute winner himself in the competition. Occasion.

A breakdown of Liverpool's squad for the 2025-26 Premier League, split into 17 non-homegrown players, seven homegrown, plus notable youth players and players out on loan.

Liverpool couldn't have had any complaints with a goalless draw given they'd managed three shots on target before Mohamed Salah's penalty, but their knack for winning games no matter what is truly ridiculous. Harsh on Burnley, but the champions go three clear at the top.

Little little Alex Horne was born today then! 🥳🎊

Noni Madueke wheels away to celebrate scoring his first England goal against Serbia.

1997 - Noni Madueke is the first player with all five vowels of the English language in his name to score for England since Paul Gascoigne against Moldova in September 1997. Scrabble.

Federico Chiesa has been omitted from Liverpool’s squad for the Champions League this season.

Squad: Alisson, Mamardashvili, Woodman, Gomez, Endo, VVD, Konate, Kerkez, Bradley, Leoni, Robertson, Frimpong, Wirtz, Szoboszlai, Mac Allister, Jones, Gravenberch, Isak, Salah, Gakpo, Ekitike, Ngumoha.

Liverpool have included buy back and sell on clauses in Harvey Elliott’s £35 m move to Aston Villa. A lot of focus on money spent understandably but sales this summer :  £236m guaranteed
• £262m with add-ons
Total since last summer: £288.5m guaranteed
• £324.5m with add ons

Liverpool and Aston Villa have now reached an agreement over Harvey Elliott. Initial loan deal with an obligation to buy worth £35m.

Dominik Szoboszlai is only the third Liverpool player to score a direct free-kick winner in a 1-0 Premier League win, after Danny Murphy v Man Utd in December 2000 and Xabi Alonso v Sunderland in August 2005. #LFC
