Here are Liverpool’s ten biggest defeats in the history of the club:

10) Liverpool 3 – 6 Arsenal – 2007

Knocked unceremoniously out of the League Cup by Arsenal in 2007, Julio Baptista bagged four goals for the Gunners.

This was the first time Liverpool had conceded six goals at Anfield in 77 years.

9) Liverpool 1 – 4 Chelsea – 2005

Revenge for a Champions League defeat a few months earlier, Jose Mourinho’s Chelsea tore Liverpool apart with goals from Lampard, Joe Cole, Damien Duff, and Geremi.

8) Manchester United 4 – 0 Liverpool – 2003

Down to ten men after four minutes following Sami Hyypia’s sending off.

A brace from Ruud van Nistelrooy from the spot, and goals from Ryan Giggs and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer completed Liverpools embarrassment.

7) Chelsea 4 – 0 Liverpool – 2001

Sitting top of the table but just three points clear of Arsenal, Liverpool needed a win against Chelsea.

Instead they were destroyed at Stamford Bridge, allowing Arsenal to go on and clinch the Premier League.

6) Coventry 5 – 1 Liverpool – 1992

A horrendous season was made worse following this horrendous defeat against Coventry.

5) Coventry 4 – 0 Liverpool – 1983

Another catastrophic loss against Coventry, and this time there wasn’t even a consolation goal for the Reds.

4) Liverpool 1 – 9 Birmingham City FC – 1954 

Liverpool’s record defeat was against Birmingham, a shocking 9-1 defeat.

3) Liverpool 0 – 5 Bolton Wanderers – 1946

The side’s worst ever defeat in the FA cup, painfully shipping five against Bolton.

2) Liverpool 2 – 9 Newcastle United – 1934

In a game that saw 11 goals scored, Liverpool will have been devastated that nine of them were scored by their opposition.

1) Liverpool 0 – 6 Sunderland – 1930

The Merseyside’s worst ever defeat at Anfield came in 1930 against Sunderland.
