On Saturday, Liverpool secured a 3-1 victory over Southampton at Anfield in the Premier League. The win extended Arne Slot’s side’s lead over Arsenal to 16 points while also marking a significant milestone. Liverpool have now entered the top 10 for the longest unbeaten runs in Premier League history.
Earlier this season, on September 14, the Reds suffered a 1-0 defeat at Anfield against Nottingham Forest. Since then, Arne Slot’s side have gone 25 league matches without a loss. This streak now places them joint 10th on the all-time list alongside Nottingham Forest and Manchester United.

Slot has done a remarkable job in his first season as Liverpool manager. In addition to steering the team toward a potential Premier League title, they remain in a strong position across multiple competitions.
Liverpool qualified for the UEFA Champions League knockout stage as the best team in the league phase. They won the first leg of their Round of 16 tie against Paris Saint-Germain with a 1-0 victory in Paris. On Tuesday, they will host the French champions at Anfield, confident of securing a quarter-final spot. Just days later, on Sunday, they will face Newcastle United in the EFL Cup final at Wembley, aiming for their first trophy under Slot.
The only real setback in Liverpool’s season so far has been their FA Cup exit, following a fourth-round loss away to Championship side Plymouth Argyle. However, if they maintain their current form, the Reds could still end the season with three major trophies.
Leading their charge is Egyptian talisman Mohamed Salah, who has been in sensational form with 32 goals and 22 assists across all competitions. Key players such as Alexis Mac Allister, Virgil van Dijk, and Trent Alexander-Arnold have also been vital contributors. Moreover, Liverpool has been relatively fortunate with injuries compared to their Premier League rivals.
If they continue their unbeaten run until the end of the season, Arne Slot could lead Liverpool to fourth place in the all-time Premier League unbeaten streak rankings with 34 matches. Given their current form and momentum, it would be hard to bet against the Dutch manager reaching that milestone.
