Liverpool scores few goals in Premier League compared to cup competitions

Summary

Liverpool has scored just nine goals in seven Premier League matches this season, significantly lower than the 15 goals they have netted in four cup games. Manager Andoni Iraola noted that Liverpool is facing more low-block defenses in the league, which makes scoring more challenging. Despite the low goal tally in league play, Liverpool has shown offensive strength in cup competitions, raising questions about their ability to replicate this form in the Premier League. They aim to improve when Brighton visits Anfield for their upcoming match.
