LiverpoolThese are frustrating times for Liverpool. Impressive against teams challenging for a Champions League spot - careless against the Premier League's so-called weaker sides.
Wins this season include: Arsenal, Chelsea, Manchester City and Tottenham.
Defeats this season include: Burnley, Bournemouth, Swansea, Hull and Leicester.
