Liverpool unbeaten in 20 matches, but record still a long way off

Liverpool’s 2-1 victory in the EFL Cup quarter-final against Southampton not only secured their spot in the next round but also marked an impressive milestone for Arne Slot’s side.

Details: The Reds are now unbeaten in 20 consecutive matches across all competitions. Their last and only defeat this season came on September 14, when they lost 1-0 at home to Nottingham Forest. Since then, Liverpool have recorded 17 wins and three draws.

However, they are still far from breaking the all-time record set by Bayer Leverkusen last season, who went 49 matches unbeaten across all competitions. Liverpool are also only halfway to surpassing Nottingham Forest’s remarkable 40-match unbeaten streak in 1978.

Reminder: Liverpool currently sit at the top of the Premier League table, holding a two-point lead over Chelsea. They are also the first team to qualify for the Champions League Round of 16 this season, winning all six league phase matches.
