Liverpool’s Premier League title defense lurched deeper into crisis Saturday — losing 3-0 at home to Nottingham Forest.

A sixth defeat of the campaign left last season’s runaway champion 11th in the standings and eight points behind leader Arsenal, having played a game more.

Goals from Murillo, Nicolo Savona and Morgan Gibbs-White at Anfield consigned Liverpool to a fifth defeat from its last six games in England’s top flight.

To put that into context, Arne Slot’s team only lost four over the entire season last term when winning a record-equaling 20th title.

Chelsea closed the gap on Arsenal to three points with a 2-0 win at Burnley. Crystal Palace beat Wolverhampton 2-0 and Fulham won 1-0 at home to Sunderland.

Brighton won 2-1 against Brentford while Bournemouth came back from 2-0
