Jamie Carragher has slammed his former club Liverpool for their recent woeful home form and said they cannot use the long-term absence of Virgil van Dijk as an excuse.

Heading into 2021, the Reds had not lost at Anfield in the Premier League since a 2-1 defeat by Crystal Palace in April 2017.

However, Jurgen Klopp's men have lost their last four top-flight games, losing to Burnley, Brighton, Manchester City and Everton. Home draws with Manchester United and West Brom have contributed to the miserable run.
