Jurgen Klopp’s dropped points for the first time since the derby draw at Everton on March 3 and here, the PA news agency looks back over their run.

The players

Four players were ever-present for Liverpool’s winning sequence, including three of the back four.

Van Dijk, Alexander-Arnold and Andy Robertson all started every game, with Joel Matip playing 13 games in the other centre-back spot but occasionally replaced by Dejan Lovren or Joe Gomez.

Salah was the other ever-present before missing the draw with United and, with nine goals, trailed only Mane with 13 as Liverpool’s leading scorer in that time.

Firmino scored six goals as the other member of the regular front three, with Origi also contributing.

Wijnaldum missed only one game in an otherwise much-changed midfield, with Henderson and Fabinho both regulars while Keita played a handful of games and Milner made only three starts but 11 appearances as a substitute.

With Adrian deputising in goal this season for the injured Alisson Becker, 21 players were used in total – with all bar Xherdan Shaqiri starting at least one game.

Eleven different Liverpool players scored in the run, in addition to three own goals from opposing players.
