"Liverpool's 2-1 defeat at home to Manchester United saw the Reds suffer a fourth consective defeat for the first time in more than a decade, as the champions continue to struggle following their 450m summer spending spree. The likes of 116m playmaker Florian Wirtz and 125m striker Alexander Isak are yet to settle in at Anfield, while the 11 goals they have conceded so far in their eight Premier League games is a dramatic increase in the three they had shipped in at this point last season."
"Crystal Palace's excellent start to the new campaign has been one of the big early-season narratives and key to this has been the form of England defender Marc Guehi - who was on the brink of joining Liverpool on transfer deadline day. The 25-year-old, who is in the final year of his contract at Selhurst Park, had passed a medical before a proposed 35m move to Anfield, only for the deal to fall through at the 11th hour, when Palace were unable to secure a replacement in Brighton defender Igor Julio."
Liverpool lost 2-1 at home to Manchester United, marking a fourth consecutive defeat for the first time in over a decade. High-cost summer signings Florian Wirtz and Alexander Isak have yet to settle at Anfield. Liverpool have conceded 11 goals in eight Premier League games, up from three at the same stage last season. Arne Slot's side sit fourth, four points behind Arsenal. Marc Guehi nearly joined Liverpool after passing a medical, but the move collapsed when Crystal Palace could not secure Igor Julio as a replacement. Guehi has played all 13 matches this season and remains in the final year of his contract.
