Welcome to the football reporters. Liverpool's title defence took another blow as Chelsea handed them their third consecutive defeat for the first time under Arna Slot.

Laminia Mal missed Barcelona's defeat at Seville.

Could this be the start of a worrying trend for the young star?

We're also going to talk about the Women's Champions League, which is live this season on Disney Plus,

and we'll be joined by Sam Marsden and Emily Keough to talk about the contenders. We're going to start, Mark, in the Premier League, Liverpool's defeat against Chelsea. If you were a Liverpool fan, would you be worried about what's happening at the moment, or is this just a blip? No, I'd be worried. I'd be worried because I think even when they were winning games at the start of the season, there were obvious flaws in the games where you're thinking, well, they got away with it there. Now, obviously, Bournemouth, left for two, two, two before Liverpool ran away at the end. Newcastle away, Newcastle out of ten men, pulled the two gold deficit bad before Liverpool won later on. So there have definitely been signs, and obviously the Athletic Madrid game with the Champions League was very edgy as well. So I think what's happened in the last week, it's the manner of the defeats as well. I mean, you know, the Galatasor defeated the Champions League was probably a little bit different in the sense that It was a kind of a dubious penalty, but Crystal Palace away and Chelsea way, both very, very late goals, which is almost like Liverpool having it on the other foot really, because Liverpool would have been winning games late. And I think the Palace win was deserved for Palace. I think Chelsea obviously edged it at the weekend. So, you know, when they were winning those games, I did think that, you know, it wasn't quite knitting together.

Liverpool were playing in a certain way that, for me, obviously last season, it was a very kind of a solid three-man midfield,

and that was why Liverpool was so successful.

They did the dominated teams in the midfield, they worked hard on anybody else, and they had the extra body.

Now, what I've seen of Liverpool this season, it looks like they're playing 424 because of the attacking players they've got, you know, with it Salar or Florianverse, they're not dropping back and not doing enough for the midfield. So that two midfield is getting outnumbered. I think that's the situation really. Arniz Slot has got to find a way, find a formula to ensure that he can have his attacking players in the team

at the same time as having enough people in midfield to avoid being overrun.

I mean, obviously, Moses Caesedo had a fantastic game for Chelsea at the weekend, but still,
