Liverpool have failed to win in six consecutive Premier League matches following a 2-2 draw against Nottingham Forest at Anfield.
The result leaves the club winless in their opening two league fixtures of the new season under manager Andoni Iraola, following an earlier 2-2 draw away at Newcastle United.
The start to the Iraola era has not begun in the manner that supporters or those within the club had hoped, according to team observers, after consecutive draws left Liverpool searching for their first league victory.
In the home fixture against Nottingham Forest on August 29, Greek defender Kostas Tsimikas featured as a second half substitute during the 2-2 draw.
Winless run across two seasons
The current two-match winless run adds to a disappointing conclusion to the 2025-26 Premier League campaign, when Liverpool failed to win any of their final four matches.
During that final stretch of last season, Liverpool recorded 1-1 draws against Brentford and Chelsea, alongside a 4-2 defeat to Aston Villa and a 3-2 loss against Manchester United.
Combining the end of last season with the start of the current campaign, Liverpool have now gone six straight league matches without a win.
Comparison with 2012 season
The six-match winless streak represents Liverpool's worst league form since the 2012-13 Premier League season.
During the 2012-13 campaign, Liverpool started the season winless in five consecutive matches, recording two draws and three defeats.
Two of those three defeats in 2012 came at Anfield, where Liverpool lost to Manchester United and Arsenal.
