“Slow, predictable and sloppy”: that was the damning verdict of Virgil Van Dijk following Liverpool’s 2-1 defeat at Wolves in the Premier League last night.

The loss to the division’s bottom side was their 9th of the season.

Tonight, Liverpool could drop to sixth if Chelsea win at Aston Villa.

In the night’s other games, leaders Arsenal head to Brighton, second placed Manchester City are at home to relegation threatened Nottingham Forest and third placed Manchester United are at out of form Newcastle.
