Supercomputer predicts where Liverpool will finish in Premier League after Nottingham Forest defeat

It is now no secret the poor start to the campaign Liverpool have made under Jurgen Klopp.

Liverpool know things must improve quickly to ensure success on the pitch this season, with Saturday's defeat at newly-promoted Nottingham Forest a further indication of how poor the Reds have been as a whole across the first 11 games.

Spirits were of course heightened following their recent 1-0 victory over current champions Manchester City 8 days ago, but something will have to keep if Klopp's men wish to overcome their lowest season tally since the 20/21 season of 69 points from 38 games under the German's tenure.

Having amassed just 16 points out of a possible 33 so far, predictions site FiveThirtyEight see Liverpool finishing third in the Premier League table behind Man City and Arsenal, and give the side a 61% chance of qualifying for the Champions League next season.

If we look at what Klopp's side needs as a whole to achieve a better finish than in the 20/21 term as mentioned, they would need to win 16 games plus 5 draws from their remaining 27 games. Tottenham grabbed last season's fourth spot with 71 points, so anywhere around that mark could perhaps be the difference overall.

Taking all things considered, statistician Statman Dave has also indicated Liverpool would need to win each of their remaining 27 games in the Premier League to equal their points tally of 97 (2nd) from the 18/19 season.
