Here, the PA news agency takes a look at why things have suddenly become more difficult for Klopp’s side. By comparison, on their way to winning the title last season they dropped just 13 points on the road. Southampton was the first time since May 2018 Klopp’s side failed to score in back-to-back league matches, which is an indicator of their previous consistency. The England right-back set an unwanted, new Premier League record for the season after giving the ball away 38 times against Southampton. The Henderson-Fabinho combination at Southampton was their 10th different starting centre-back pairing in 17 league matches, which has only added to the uncertainty.
