For the first time since the 1980-81 top-flight season, Liverpool had failed to win any of their three home league games against newly promoted sides. Arne Slot's side drew 1-1 against Sunderland last month before drawing 0-0 against Leeds on New Year's Day. Asked about the boos, Slot said: "In my head it wasn't booing but in my head it was frustration as well. Liverpool had 76 touches in the opposition box, 32 shots, 11 attempts on target and an xG of 2.95. "I agree that we should have won this game," Slot told Match of the Day.
