Liverpool
Liverpool's up-and-down start hit a new low with a thrashing by Manchester City, leaving them mid-table and short of answers.
A second-half collapse at Anfield, compounded by Ryan Gravenberch's red card, exposed Liverpool's fragility against top-tier opposition. With just nine points from six games and a flat goal difference, the inconsistency - L W D W D in their last five - shows a side still searching for rhythm. Alexander Isak's four goals remain their main attacking bright spot.
