Liverpool's start to the 2022/23 Premier League campaign has been rather underwhelming.Consecutive draws with Crystal Palace and Fulham has already seen them fall four points behind Manchester City in the title race.After such fine margins separating the two teams in the past, Liverpool simply can't afford these kinds of slip ups, even with the season still in its infancy.With Darwin Nunez getting himself sent off for a moment of madness in the Palace game and an already lengthy injury list, Jurgen Klopp is going to have to right the ship before the Reds drop out of the running completely.It had all looked so positive for the Reds in pre-season when they dominated City in the Community Shield.Liverpool ran riot, producing one of their best ever performances against Pep Guardiola's side to clinch a 3-1 victory.Despite the Community Shield being panned as a 'glorified friendly', the victory did provide a huge source of encouragement for the Reds.LEICESTER, ENGLAND - JULY 30: Jurgen Klopp manager of Liverpool during the The FA Community Shield at The King Power Stadium on July 30, 2022 in Leicester, England.

Did Dias know what he was doing, or was it simply a mistake? Either way, the whole sequence of events makes for pretty funny viewing.

Liverpool's next assignment comes in the form of a clash against age-old rivals Manchester United with both clubs hoping to kick-start their spluttering seasons.

Klopp will have to make do without his marquee signing Nunez, who looks set to be slapped with a hefty ban for his red card on Monday night.

With Klopp's squad already stretched thin, it is going to be fascinating to see how he adapts as he bids to keep pace with the likes of City and Arsenal at the top.
