Liverpool manager Andoni Iraola is only the 12th manager to enjoy a run of 20 consecutive unbeaten Premier League matches (W8 D12), though he is the first to do so across spells with two different clubs (18 with Bournemouth, 2 with Liverpool). Liverpool have failed to win either of their opening two Premier League games in a season (D2) for only the second time in the last 14 seasons, also doing so in 2022-23 when they started with two draws.
