For the first time this season Liverpool have incurred consecutive defeats at the hands of Manchester City and Wolves. So, should fans be worried?<\/p>\n

In short, the answer to this is NO.<\/p>\n

Liverpool were competitive in both fixtures and only lost by one goal, going down 2-1 in each.<\/p>\n

Whilst both were away from home. Jurgen Klopp\u2019s men have turned Anfield into a fortress this season and are currently unbeaten in 30 league matches.<\/p>\n

Their resolve will be tested this weekend away to Brighton and Hove Albion. If they can negotiate their way past Chris Hughton\u2019s side and win all three points, that will set them up perfectly for the remainder of the month.<\/p>\n

Liverpool would then face Crystal Palace and Leicester City, both at Anfield. Neither are a foregone conclusion as there are no easy games, and both upset Manchester City of late, but on paper at least, you would have to back Liverpool to win.<\/p>\n
